What battery management tricks do you use?

What struck us most about the results of this survey was that less than 12% of you do not use any battery management tricks. Since battery degradation is a slow and subtle process, we assume many more people wouldn’t consider it. But hey, we should have given our tech-savvy readers more credit.

While it’s clear that you take battery health seriously, there’s no consensus among answers on the best way to approach it. Almost 33% of you follow the advice to only charge the battery up to 80% of its capacity, while slightly more use adaptive charging. This latter approach intelligently slows down the charging process based on usage patterns to reduce battery wear and extend overall battery life. This could include fast charging up to about 80% and then slowly recharging from there when you’re not in a hurry to unplug. 7.6% of you suggest using two or more of these tricks, which represents a real dedication to getting the most out of your battery.

If you don’t use any battery management tricks and want to get started now, it’s worth checking the battery settings on your device. It only takes 30 seconds and could keep your battery healthy for another six months.
