Limiting charging to 80% is one of the best things you can do to preserve your phone’s battery health in the long run. And if you can also avoid fully discharging the battery often and stay closer to the 20-80 charging range, even better. This essentially keeps the battery away from the more stressful charge extremes and slows down wear on lithium-ion cells.
I completely understand the logic behind this, and I know plenty of people who swear by the battery protection feature. But personally, I’ve never been a huge fan of this myself. I always end up turning off charging limits on every phone I use, and I think I have pretty good reasons for doing so.
