How to Optimize Your Android Phone’s Charging to 80% for Prolonged Battery Life

Your Android phone’s battery stabilizes at 80% charging if you implement the right strategies. By doing so, you can significantly prolong the lifespan of your battery. This article will guide you through enabling Battery Care, Optimized Charging, and other methods to ensure your Android device charges optimally to 80%.

Understanding Battery Care and Optimized Charging

Several natively available features on modern Android devices allow you to manage your phone's charging process. Features like Battery Care, Optimized Charging, and Adaptive Charging limit your phone to charge up to 80% to extend battery longevity.

Method 1: Using Built-in Settings for Android

Battery Care: This feature can be found under the 'Battery' or 'Battery performance' section. It can limit the charge to around 80%, prolonging the battery's lifespan. Optimized Charging: Similar to Battery Care, this feature can be activated under 'Battery performance' or 'Battery settings.'

To enable Battery Care or Optimized Charging, follow these steps:

Open your device's Settings app. Navigate to the Battery or Battery performance section. Finding the Battery Care, Optimized Charging, or Adaptive Charging option, enable the feature. This process might vary slightly depending on your Android version and device manufacturer.

Method 2: Using Manufacturer-Specific Settings

Different manufacturers offer their own specific options to manage charging. Here are a few examples:

Samsung Galaxy 23 Ultra: Navigate to Settings → Battery and device care → Battery → More battery settings → Protect battery. OnePlus: Go to Settings → Battery → Advanced → Optimized charging. Xiaomi: Head to Settings → Battery → Performance → Battery saver → Charging settings.

Method 3: Using Third-Party Apps

If your device’s built-in options are not sufficient, you can use third-party apps. Consider these two popular apps:

AccuBattery: This app helps monitor your charging habits and alert you when you’re nearing 80%. Battery Charge Limit: Available for rooted devices, this app allows you to set a maximum charge limit.

Calibrating Your Battery

Calibrating your battery to ensure it is properly understood by the charging software can help improve its performance. Here’s how to do it:

Run your phone until it completely depletes the battery without charging it. Charge the phone until it stops accepting more charge, ensuring it's fully topped up. Use the phone again until it is completely drained, without charging. Charge the phone fully again.

This process will help recalibrate the charging software to the battery’s current state.

Setting Custom Charge Levels with Samsung Galaxy 23 Ultra

If you have a Samsung Galaxy 23 Ultra, you can limit the charge to 85% to help prolong the battery life. Here’s how to do it:

Navigate to Settings → Battery and device care → Battery → More battery settings → Protect battery. Select 'Protect battery' to limit charging to 85%. If you no longer wish to limit the charge, deselect the 'Protect battery' option and allow the phone to charge to 100%.

Note: Charging to 100% can cause the battery to degrade faster, especially if you charge overnight. This method should be used with caution to ensure you don’t drain the battery too low.

Conclusion

By following these methods, you can ensure your Android phone charges to 80% and helps prolong its battery life. However, always consider the trade-offs and impacts on usage time between charges. Always ensure you have a reliable way to fully charge your device when needed.
