“Depending on the scenario, we saw up to 63 percent improvement in battery lifespan,” Stammeshaus said. “We generally say ‘up to 50 percent’ because it’s easier to communicate, but the data is clear.”

    Isn’t this built into the Android OS already? I assume iOS has a similar feature

      That was my first thought - but maybe this does a better job? Plus it can apparently be used for any device, so it might prolong the life of, say, noise-canceling headphones, book lights, and portable speakers.

      At least my Pixel does this “adaptive charging” when an alarm is set where it slowly charges overnight to be full when the alarm goes off.

    my pixel 8 since I took it out of the box I charge it between 20% to 80% and use a peltier cooler so it doesn’t heat up too much and decreases the battery life
