Fair enough, but the difference is not that much considering that you have to charge your phone more often if you stop halfway. Plus, devices are so power hungry these days, you need that extra % to last the day sometimes. Still, we can all agree that batteries will fail and should be swappable. They can be recycled almost in full. EU is doing good on this one.
Sorry for being defensive
You are right we have to charge them more often which can be a burden but it’s still best for the battery chemistry. It should not come to 1% charge-discharge though, but cycle between 30-80 is great.
It’s true that in the end we need more and more those extra pourcentage so another reason to treat our batteries right from the start so that they keep their full capacity longer.
And completely agree that all constructors should let us repair our phones, including swappable battery from home
I don’t think you have to be scared about this, it’s rare. Just don’t let it deplete itself too often (>20% for daily use and a full discharge/charge once every two weeks to recalibrate) and don’t expose it to low and high temperatures
You don’t HAVE to, this won’t probably have an impact in the long run. I myself recalibrates maybe once per month. But it is easier to handle your battery level precisely when the measures you get are themselves precise. And it is more conveniant to not be caught offguard with less battery than anticipated. But yeah not mandatory to do it too often, just regularly

I just realized that the only reason I noticed my old phones’ battery swelling was that the back cover is removable and got pushed out.
Now I’m terrified of my current aluminium unibody.

Why would you recalibrate every two weeks? I did it once after 2 years and it made no difference
