[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1941037, member: 204485"] It's clear that there is a wide variation in battery duration and charging habits across iPhone models and year. What does seem to be clear is that Apple believes there is need to provide a way of consistently limiting charging to 80%. I believe that is because Optimised Charging takes so long to kick in ie. Two weeks or 9 consecutive charges to over 80% in the same location. This never really worked for me because of regular o/seas and local travel. It fits their suggestion of best practice for battery levels to sustain maximum health ie. 20-80%. Honestly, I think for those who change/upgrade their iPhone every year or two it doesn't matter what charging habits they have but if like me it's more like 4 years it does. With my old SE 2 I used to charge over night on a bedside Qi charger and again for about an hour in the afternoon but with this iPhone 13 starting off the day with around 60% is plenty so charging o/night is unnecessary, I just top it up around dinner time. I originally downloaded an app for the purpose of notifying me when the charge reached 80% but I found it's pretty east to create an Automation in the Short Cuts app to do the same.
