That letting the battery get below 40% is bunk. That's now how Lithium Ion batteries work. That's garbage that was posted years ago and it still seems to be hanging around.
Agreed. I always do my best to do the 80-40% charge discharge method. Obviously sometimes it's not possible and I'll charge it at 35% to 80.-85.%
Shutting off at 40% is rather extreme and I don't know anyone else suggesting that. But he is correct that Li-ion batteries are not deep discharge batteries. It's quite possible to kill one in less than a year due to poor charging habits, and Battery University has done the testing showing the difference between running full cycles and keeping it at that happy medium.
Not quite true either. There is circuitry built into the battery to prevent the battery from completely discharging.
Yes. I read it. And I think you didn't understand what you read.
Several of us explained our side. So how about instead of telling us we're wrong, why not do the same and explain how we're wrong and show some data to back it up (I'll gladly read it). Saying we're wrong over and over accomplishes nothing.
We are all well aware of protective circuitry. I meant relative zero which is what you're describing and that's just bad.
