Simple care routine reducing amount of time battery stays at greater than 80% state of charge with automatic screen brightness settings. Great for new phones or devices!
Leaving a Li-ion cell plugged in after charging or otherwise keeping it at a high state of charge for long periods causes accelerated chemical degradation to the battery, aging and reducing the capacity, sometimes as quickly as 1-3 years.
Set and forget!
(Charger must be plugged in or unplugged after starting flow for effect to begin)
Note: this flow won't prevent the battery from reaching 100% state of charge (when preparing for a long day with no access to a charger for example), and has no notifications or reminders to unplug device. Maximum brightness always initiated when plugged in. Forks may increase with each connection/disconnection of power source, no worries though! They always self-prune back to two: quality check indicated no vicious cycles.
For a smaller capacity battery, or preferring longer run times between charges, edit the two blocks to 90% and still get decent benefits of healthier chemistry when your battery gets older.
