Battery data readout

[plantroop]

The new iPhone 15 is out and it has a limiter that prevents the battery from being charged over 80% !

Not only would like to know if this can be replicated via software on the Freephone, but also if battery specific data like Manufacture Date, First Use and Cycle Count can be displayed ?

FP5 has a 80% limit in the settings. Cycle count is also displayed in battery health.

For reference - there’s a long discussion thread regarding this topic from FP3(+)/FP4 times:

Option to limit charging to maximum 80%

I believe limiting charging to a maximum of 80% should extend the liftime of the battery - please correct me if this wrong. I cannot find an option to do this - please tell me if there is. I can do this manually by stopping the charge early but I would appreciate an option to do this automatically.

This includes a bunch of discussions why limiting makes sense, as well as several references to third-party apps that can help with adjusting this limit.
