No, but charging to 100%, then letting it go until the phone shuts off the first time, then charging to 100% again (reforming the battery) wouldn't hurt.
No. We need to let go of all this silliness. Just use your phone and charge it while you sleep, no matter what battery percentage you're at.
Has anyone calibrated there pixel 2 xl by draining it to 0 the first time the got it?
Q. Should I abuse my brand new phone's battery as soon as I get my hands on it?
A. No.
Lithium ion are protected to prevent a full discharge. Your phone may show zero, but it's got some charge left.From what I've read, this actually would hurt a lithium ion battery. Li-ion's don't like full discharges.
Use it normally and ignore all this battery advice that doesn't apply to modern batteries along with the software that manages the power input/output.
I usually plug it in around 15% or so which is what my Pixel drains down to in about 19-20 hours with about 4.5 hours of SoT.

With the physical circuit protection plus the software side of Oreo, you can fully charge and discharge all you want ant it won't make any difference.
For all intents and purposes here and most places where this is discussed, zero on the battery gauge is zero usable capacity left, not zero voltage.Lithium ion are protected to prevent a full discharge. Your phone may show zero, but it's got some charge left.

Agreed, this is true especially for those of us who changes their phone at least once a year. I really don't see the point of trying to preserve it if I end up switching my phone next year.
Would you care to share your thoughts?A lot of misinformation in both directions in this thread.
