On my old android, I used AccuBattery but now I’d prefer an open source alternative. I’ve seen Battery Bot and another called Plus Plus Battery. The former is really old, last updated like 3 years ago and the latter seems like it is in early stage and built for a few brands in particular. What apps do you use to keep track of battery health?
What I’m looking for is keeping track of battery health like AccuBattery does, monitoring charging and discharging cycles, time remaining etc. Basically everything that AccuBattery does. Any ideas?
I bought this phone brand new in 2023 and have been using the 80-30 charge rule at all times since I purchased it and my battery health is incredibly good still.
According to the Android system settings, I just recently passed 400 charge cycles in two years.
If I could get a thousand cycles out of the battery, that would mean five years of daily use. Doing 80 to 30.
If it’s a flagship you can go way farther than five years. My last flagship lasted 7 years or so with very heavy use. I expect my current one to last longer.
It’s the OnePlus Nord N200. It was actually released in 2021, but I purchased it new in 2023, since I could get Lineage OS on it.
So it’s decidedly mid-range, but it gets the job done.
I would personally rather not spend two or three Monero on a phone if I can avoid it.
