Is charging from 6% to 100% safe for battery?

[AndroidFan128]

I was once too distracted playing pubg mobile so I didn't notice that the battery was 6%.So I charged it from 6% to 100% without any breaks. Some website says that you must give your phone a break between some percentage. So I need some clarification is charging 6% straight to 100% safe?

AccuBattery currently estimates that the 3500 mAh capacity is more like 2400 mAh now (68%).

Now I recently started using this app, so the sample size is still low (42 charging sessions).

If you keep to the 40-80% rule, Accuabattery will show low. So is that how you got to that number, or was that after a 0%-charging cutoff (meaning not just to 100% on the gauge) cycle?

I even have a Note 4 that still works today along with the original battery PLUS a battery I bought to go along with it direct from Samsung. These two original batteries still provide an amazingly long charge on my Note 4 and I've consistently run them down to 5% and charged them to 100%. The phone never shuts down early as is the case for many people who have old batteries on their Note 4 phones.

All these so called expert battery care websites can insist that their ways are correct and this and that but the way that I've used the batteries in my phones speaks for itself. I've never seen any evidence that using the battery down to 5% and charging to 100% each and every time will harm the battery. My evidence shows otherwise. It's real life experience that matters and not what some website shows.

I've done a few 5% to 90-100% charges, maybe about 5 to 10. All others have been around 20% to 80%.

Not much data, just recently started using this app and have been switching between this Moto Z Force Droid and a Moto Z2 Play.

Those 40%-80% recommendations are just that, recommendations. Charge the way you want to charge, it's your phone.

But

Don't think you know better than the physicists, chemical engineers, the people who invented the technology that powers these batteries. They've tested this tech for years, decades. Don't dismiss that... They aren't making this up... Those findings are proven. It's up to everyone to do what they want, but don't make the mistake of thinking you know better, because you don't.

Back to the Moto Z2 Play.

If you're like a lot of folks and swap out phones like changing underwear, you'll likely never have a problem abusing batteries

Reports/studies show that more people are keeping their phones longer.

Obviously not the case for folks that visits sites like this but we are the minority.

Yep, it's been steadily increasing year over year and in the US, the average user holds on to their phone for nearly 2 full years.

My last phone I kept for two full years, and I plan to keep my 2 XL for 2 as well. So I try to do at least a minimum to make sure it runs as well when I get rid of it as it does now.

I don't have access to the actual stats, but my impression is that Italians keep devices for 3-4 years if they're able.
