    If you shouldn’t charge over 80%, why don’t manufacturers just report a battery at 80% its “real” capacity as 100% charged? Same for the lower margins. It would probably make things easier for people to understand.

      Because then people would be up in arms about the lower battery life. People want a phone that can go all day without charging. And they never slow charge their phones overnight.

      It’s a product of people just being absolutely stupid.
