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 automaticall…

[image] Ahmedz: also I’m curious if Advanced Charge Controller would work the same way I don’t know if by “work the same way” you mean compared to the native feature we can find on some devices ? I read somewhere - I’m sorry you’ll got to take my word for it as that’s my best source …

My girlfriend’s Samsung phone has this as well, I really hope Fairphone adds this feature. I wonder if any custom ROMs have it? CalyxOS or something?
