I've been runnnng GrapheneOS with charge capped at 80%. Phone has not emulated thermite.

I haven't found any discussion about the battery issues at GrapheneOS yet.

I have kinda bad battery issues on graphene and have been having it even on my old pixel 5 (currently on pixel 8a).

Could it be because I use google play services? Maybe I'll get a huge decrease in battery consumption if I cut this off. But I do need it for maps and stuff

Meaning you charge till 80% full, or at 80% max charging speed? just curious.

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

80% full. It drastically helps extend battery life

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yep. It's the capacity.

Anyone can cap the charging speed by using a garbage $2 700mA charger from 2008.

Is this done manually , or there’s a system thing for it ?

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

In GrapheneOS, Settings -> Battery -> Charging Optimization.

Many phones support it. My old mid range Samsung galaxy phone from 2020 had it, as does my Pixel 9a.
