So I recently bought a new honor magic 5 pro. My last phone the Huawei p20 pro was around 5 years old and started to show significantly less battery life. So I want to use this phone again for 5 years. But now I wonder should I keep the battery around 50% (65-35) and charge twice as often or should I 80-20 and charge once every two days? Is there any science that proves one is better than the other? Thank you for your information and sources.

    I am not sure about article, searching for them would need a navigation through a lot of trash articles.

    But for lithium batteries, it is often recommended 20-80. Not sure if there are big margins set by honor at 100% and 0% which would make the phone never close to those values. If there are, going to 100% and 0% isn’t a huge deal, but still can have some more wear on the battery than 20/80.

    I don’t know about the specific % of wear. But I’d also assume that battery tech and way of implementing limits can make the degradation % vary. So not sure it would even be useful.
