This update introduces a feature designed to extend battery longevity, drawing inspiration from electric car charging habits. In electric vehicles, it is common practice to charge only up to 80% regularly to maintain battery health over time.
The new device now includes an option that stops charging once it reaches 90%. This approach is intended to reduce battery wear over time while still allowing for the option to fully charge if desired.
The manufacturer explains that limiting charge to around 90% helps decrease battery degradation. Many users may find that they do not need the full capacity every time they play, but those who prefer maximum battery power can still opt for a complete charge.
- A feature that sets charging to stop at 90% is now available.
- This method is similar to recommendations for electric vehicles.
- An option to override the limit for a full charge is still provided.
Demonstrations of this feature have been showcased on a popular social platform, giving users a glimpse of how it functions. The question remains whether this new setting will be broadly adopted or if users will continue to take the battery to full capacity every time.
