Just build phones with the understanding that batteries are consumables and make them easy to replace and standardized. Then swap in a new $5 battery when you need to so. Make the raw materials reclaimable too of course.
Do most people not have the option to protect their battery already?
I think that's a Samsung feature
It's built into my pixel as well. Shrug
You have an older Pixel or just rooted, maybe? My 7 on the latest vanilla Android doesn't seem to have it, and this thread seems to say it's not available in the stock os.
Is called adaptive charging
It's on my pixel 7 pro at least
Ah, I see. I was focused on the 80% limiter for that "Maximum" setting, which I think is not an option on Pixel. But I see now that "Adaptive Charging" sounds like it does what that middle setting "Adaptive" does.
