I bought a brand new Pixel 7 this week and am deeply impressed by the battery. My old Pixel 3 was getting so bad that a half hour of steady use would cause it to demand a recharge, which was the main reason I upgraded to the Pixel 7. So far, I've only had to recharge the Pixel 7 once since it arrived on Wednesday and it still has about 50% charge after 3 days of frequent use.
I would appreciate some advice on the best approach to recharging the phone. In the old days, rechargeable batteries had issues with "memory": you needed to pretty much drain them completely before recharging to maximize the battery life. I'm pretty sure the Pixels have a different chemistry that means that's not an issue. Can anyone confirm that?
I'm inclined to put it on the charger every night while I sleep so that it is fully charged in the morning. It looks like it is easily going to last the day so that it's quite likely it will still have a significant amount of charge each night when I go to bed. (I do NOT have the "extreme" battery conservation turned on.) Is nightly charging a reasonable practice or should I proceed differently?
