    Leaving a lithium battery charging for a long time, even when it’s already 100% can degrade it.
    Most devices have failsafes against this, but I still always try to not leave a device charging if its already mostly full… perhaps it’s just me being paranoid, but what I rather do is set up rules so that the phone automatically goes into airplane/battery saving mode at night.

      The pixel’s adaptive charging is so good for this, I can just plug it in and not worry about it. It just slows the charging speed and has it automatically be at 100% by the time my alarm goes off.

      Battery tech is so much smarter now this is barely a concern these days, especially for phones. I feel like my modern devices don’t lose any capacity over the 2 or so years I have them.
