You don’t HAVE to, this won’t probably have an impact in the long run. I myself recalibrates maybe once per month. But it is easier to handle your battery level precisely when the measures you get are themselves precise. And it is more conveniant to not be caught offguard with less battery than anticipated. But yeah not mandatory to do it too often, just regularly

I don’t think you have to be scared about this, it’s rare. Just don’t let it deplete itself too often (>20% for daily use and a full discharge/charge once every two weeks to recalibrate) and don’t expose it to low and high temperatures

Sorry for being defensive You are right we have to charge them more often which can be a burden but it’s still best for the battery chemistry. It should not come to 1% charge-discharge though, but cycle between 30-80 is great.

It’s true that in the end we need more and more those extra pourcentage so another reason to treat our batteries right from the start so that they keep their full capacity longer.

And completely agree that all constructors should let us repair our phones, including swappable battery from home

You’re right. When was the first nuclear missile launch?

Launching a product is different than testing it

The battery in our devices (including the iPhone 14 Pro that the person I replied to has) are Lithium-ion and absolutely severe from this. BMS and other system like the kernel and OS do report for a different value of battery but they do not diverge from the physical level this much. The further from 100% you can stop charging the better, 60% being an even better rule. Polymer batteries does not mean anything in itself, but the common part is they still are Lithium-ion and need to be treated the same way Please stop spreading false information, even more when answering someone, and furthermore when this misinformation is dangerous for the climate you depend on

You should not charge more than 70-80% to preserve the battery
