re: Let your phone go dead or constantly charge it to full.

I have an iPhone 8plus and it says its battery health/maximum capacity is 84%
I have a 7, since about 6 months after they came out.
I charge mine every night, it gets drained to 0% quite often, Im at 89%
quote:this is my thinking.
In other words, at least for iPhones... no one should GAF about their battery health unless you just happen to have a lemon.
Now on the other side my sister and mom have galaxies, Their batteries have needed to be replaced, because they got so bad. Not sure if any reason/correlation

Is there any benefit to doing that or charge as you go is preferred?
The chips will generally prevent you from overcharging. "Battery conditioning" is also alleviated by the chips and charging monitoring.
I don't know if there is legitimate wisdom in actually draining the battery and certainly not what I would do regularly (in the old days, drain and full charge would give you better battery gauge readings, but a full discharge generally shortens the life of certain types of batteries - again the chips try to stop it from going 100% dead).
The relatively recent rule of thumb a few years back was to keep the battery between 35 and 85 if possible - so, don't charge if already above 85% and don't wait until below 35 to charge.
That makes as much sense as anything.

Takes about 3 days for my google pixel 3xl to get down to 20% and then I recharge
I really don't use 3XL much, sparingly during the work day. And without fail when it's time to leave work it's at about 60 %

I'm still rocking an s5 for my #2 personal phone.
Hell, I lost 25% just reading this thread. I'm jealous of all of you.

The newer class c chargers prevent the overcharging from harming the phone from what I understand

Holding a battery on a charger is putting an even greater voltage across the batteries and exacerbating the problem.
This assumes the charger does not have an overcharge protection circuit. Once most lipo battery chargers get to a voltage of between 4.1 and 4.2 volts, the circuit disables charging.
The real reason the battery on most peoples phones discharge quickly is all of the apps that they continue to run in background as the phone ages. Facebook, the copy of candy crush we downloaded 2 years ago, and all of the other crap we have on our phones use up small amounts of battery life as they add to the current draw required by our phones processors.

No. Charging still degrades life. Every time you hit a lithium battery with a charging voltage, no matter how short, it reduces battery life. The switching on and off from overcharge circuits still degrades it.

So your answer is charging it up to less than maximum which results in you have to put it on a charger more times? Makes sense.

if you want your battery to last, don't let it discharge below 25-30% and don't charge it above 60-70%. The further you go outside those windows, the faster the life of the battery decreases.

Don’t know about that but we should all be much more concerned about being abducted by extraterrestrial UFOs/Aliens and being anally probed. I can hardly sit without a pain........nevermind!

I’ve had my iPhone for about 4 years now and just charge it every night and if the thing craps the best I’ll either get a new phone or replace a battery.
Last thing I’ll ever do is add a daily stress to my life about how and when to charge my fricking phone

Lithium Polymer batteries do best not being discharged below 15%. No battery out there (lead acid, NiCad, lithium ion, lithium Polymer etc) does good long term with a full discharge. You certainly will kill it quicker by doing that over and over
