Question about Protect Battery feature

[Shellcracker]

I've decided ro turn mine on an utilize it. It will stop charging at 85% like it days. But my question is would it be bad to leave it on the charger like it is to leave one on overnight at 100% charge?

I wanna use this feature. But given how fast this phone seems to drain right now, I'm not too keen on. Just powering up to 85%

If it WONT hurt it like leaving it on the charger at 100% can, then I'll use the feature and let it sit overnight so I don't lose our on further charge .

Tomorrow my nephew graduates college so I'm going down there to see him walk, so I will probably need it at full 100% to get me through the day tomorrow. It's a 3 hour ride to Tuscaloosa and I imagine the ceremony will take 4-5 hours given how many people there are down there. Plus sticking around to celebrate for a bit, I imagine it'll be well over 12 hours before getting back home and on charge.

No it pause the charging after 85 or 100 method you want to use.

Neither of those is bad. What's bad is limiting your battery to 85% of its capacity from the outset for fear that it might otherwise diminish to 85% capacity after a couple of years of recharging.

Unless you plan on keeping your phone for 3 or 4 years, I wouldn't worry about the battery. Just use your phone and enjoy it!

I don't keep my phone long enough to worry about battery life. So long as it get me through the day, i'm happy.
