Pixel Charging Limit To 80%

[mustang7757]

Yes

Yeah, those things come go in beta

I want to set the charge limit to 88 percent. The built-in flux capacitor will require this for time travel.

You also need 1.21 Giga watts. Never forget the Giga watts.

Welcome to AC!

You need the tin foil hat also otherwise it won't work

Tin foil hats are kinda' rough on radio signals (and subsequent battery drain), so maybe setting charging to 91% is a better bet...

Just received the 80% Battery Limit setting on my Pixel 8 Pro with the December 2024 update.

But still no Battery Diagnostics?

I'll check my update if available

I received the December update to my Pixel 9 Pro XL on Verizon this evening, but it did not include the "Limit To 80%" battery charging option. I assume that this may be another instance in which Verizon is delaying the rollout to its subscribers while it tweaks the new feature to meet network requirements. Have others received that feature as part of their December 5 update?

 

[rvbfan]

Got it on my P8P. Maybe one of those staggered roll outs.

Waking up to a perfect 80.

I haven't received December yet on my pixel 9 pro xl so still waiting

 

[straygator7]

Got it -- the December update and the feature for limiting the charge to 80%.

Apple and others have had this for a while...except better. My wife's apply lets you select whatever % you want. I set hers to 95%. I read it is the last few % that cause the most stress. I guess it is better to lose 20% now than 20% in a few years due to battery wear (assuming you're discharging the battery significantly)...but isn't the Adaptive Battery setting supposed to help with that as well? I would've rather they had a setting to disable "quick charge" for people that only charge overnight. A lot of laptops have that option. Slower charging reduces heat/stress on the battery.

Even if you keep your phone 3,4,5 years , does the maths stack up?

Lose 20% battery every single day for years to gain.... What? A few percent years down the line.
All you have done is swap the loss of 20% round.

Spend £1000+ . Get phone. Turn everything to max. Enjoy.
Otherwise, What's the point.

While I was hoping you would be able to pick the % to stop at (20% loss seems like a lot), I did call a local mobile phone repair company. He quoted me $130 to replace the battery (with genuine Google).

This is the part (the set your own % part, not the 130...) that I'm waiting for, 80% is kinda' low for a whole days' use, or gets VERY close (also not great for the battery) to empty, if you're not careful.

On my wife's I set it for 95%...I read it is the last few per cent that generate the most stress. However, I would also prefer a setting to turn off fast charging for those of us that don't use our phones all the time...and a slow overnight charge is fine. Even if you lower the % it can still be stressed from fast charging. I have a Dell laptop that I decided to try the reduced % function. However, it still charged at "express rate"...I think...it was definitely warmer at the end of a charge than letting it charge to 100% at a slower/standard rate. I now leave it on "standard."

Yeah, 95% is a value I can get behind the science vs. sanity balance on this one (I'm a person that VERY rarely chooses the latter, or so I've been told... ), 95%probably gains you 80% of the lifetime increase, I bet (probably resifting the data would show this, if they publish all the data for this), so you get almost the best of both worlds, IME/IMHO.
Agree on the heating, I don't get wanting to zip-charge (causing the heating like you mention) to 80%. It seems like you're cutting off your own foot to spite your leg kind of thing, again IMO though - I don't begrudge anyone whatever charging scheme works for them.
I charge about 80-90% of the time with a 10w wireless charger though, easy to plunk it on the charger and relatively easy on the battery (heat) too.

Side note if your phone is powered off it won't charge to 80%

Pixel 80% charge limit arrived with the December update, but there’s a catch

Google’s December Pixel Drop has brought an 80% charge cap to Pixel phones, a long-awaited feature designed to preserve battery health. While effective for most, the feature doesn’t apply when charging with the phone turned off, marking a slight limitation for some users.

All the OEM's need to make the charging limit more granular. The Redmagic 10 Pro has the ability to go from 20% to 90% at 1% increments! Of course you can choose full 100% if you want. It's simply a setting in the code. Obviously if the software can read the charge level of the battery and stop the charging at 80% it can do it at any other level the coder allows! There's also the ability to separate the power of the phone from the battery when it reaches any of the charge settings you prefer!
All these so-called top shelf phone makers - Google, Samsung, Apple need to catch up to many of the lower tier OEM's that are doing things the right way!
