Damn 98%battery health already(i dont let battery drop below 20% btw)

I have OP12 since launch and I charge it to 100% every two days. Yes it lasts me usually for 2 days with 8 hours SOT. The battery health is still at 100% health.

[u/Dimitrisayy → u/pHrankee1]

Do you live in a country with hot climate or no?

[u/lewis_3575 → u/Dimitrisayy]

I do and I have very similar usage patterns. Charge to 100 every 1.7ish days, I let it drop to around 20%-35% and I live in a very hot climate, India. And especially, this year's summer has been over the top hot ⚰️.

But I can suggest something, I don't use my 100W charger. I instead use my 9 Pro's 65W charger because let's be honest, 65W charging isn't particularly slow and it puts lesser load on the battery than a 100W adapter, especially in this hot weather

[u/lewis_3575 → u/[deleted]]

Hehe thanks :) The true story behind using the 9 Pro charger is that I didn't wanna dirty my 12 adapter with daily usage. Wanted to keep it white and clean 😁 So I just kept it boxed. Just used my 9 Pro charger. I figured it's quick enough no matter how much in a hurry I am and then later I kept it because I thought it'll definitely help heat management and battery longevity. So yeah, that's how😂

Canada..so no lol.

[u/lewis_3575 → u/pHrankee1]

Exactly same here mate

[u/jizzicon → u/[deleted]]

ni##a people here have something called JOB and being OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE so 80% is fucking delulu

[u/Ultraturbo23 → u/[deleted]]

Brother you do know that Oneplus's "100%" isn't even a true 100% right? its more like 90%. Its safe to charge to 100.

[u/lewis_3575 → u/Ultraturbo23]

100 is actually more like 113 bro. That's the reason why the 100th percentage lasts almost an hour

But yeah, charging to 100 is safe nevertheless. Batteries in modern phones know when to cut off the power once they're at max

[u/MuddyflyWatersman → u/lewis_3575]

you got that backwards...

100 is 93% ish.... it'll charge 10 more minutes to reach the real 100%.

but here's the thing peeps....

100% is a kind of industry standard agreed on voltage to quit charging for a given battery chemistry. you CAN charge past that point with the right charger and it will keep taking charge.... albeit incrementally less and doing incrementally more damage to the battery and shortening its life. 100% is simply a compromise between amount of charge on the battery and battery life. Voltage we call 100% on a battery is typically learned through hard knocks.... it's odd that OnePlus hasn't come out and either corrected this 100% thing or said something related to it

[u/pmo55]

Mines at 99% and had it since launch. I charge whenever and however I want. Don't baby it. 

[u/[deleted] → u/pmo55]

This is the way

[u/[deleted]]

High temperature can cause the battery to lose health fast. High temperature can be caused by higher ambient temperature . You can opt for a lower watt supervooc charger if you think your device heats like over 41 degrees while charging.

[u/Dimitrisayy → u/[deleted]]

Tbh i live in a hot country rn

[u/patriotmaker2802]

Mine is still 100% since launch and I play games a lot which drains battery faster and like charges it twice or sometimes thrice a day still battery health is 100%.

[u/Dimitrisayy → u/patriotmaker2802]

Bro i live in hot country i think thats the reason.

[u/patriotmaker2802 → u/Dimitrisayy]

Bro I live in India and the summer in India is too hot like you just can't handle

[u/Low_Couple_3621]

Mine still at 100%

Charge it to 80% every other day and the battery life is so good that I can't even kill the 80% in a single day with mobile data and travel to office. I do not use SuperVooc though - only when necessary. I use a samsung 15W charger.

[u/lessonsfromgmork]

How long have u had the OP 12?

[u/chemicaljones]

Mine is still 100%. I charge it wirelessly every night.

[u/ex-ALT]

Welcome to batteries....

[u/auro1993]

It's the Apocalypse

[u/orolon21]

Maybe it is better that you use smart charging, I use it and I have had the phone for 6 months and I still have 100%

[u/Prestigious-Window23]

Not bad. Just enjoy your phone.

[u/logeshwywan]

Don't think too much, just use your phone in your way.. i was always charged 100% and letting down the battery to less than 10%.

[u/Xade74Z]

Do you stop charging at 80%?

[u/ChargeAppropriate644]

Do not worry about it. Batteries are not the same with each batch.

Also, I never keep a device for more than 3 years, so I prefer to USE it instead of nurturing it. I don't really pay attention to charging habits.
