Is fast charging actually killing the battery? What's the best way to charge your phone? Will battery degradation make your phone lag or slow down? At what p...

TLDW; No

Basically the video is testing phones with varying charging speeds and how much battery degrades after 500 charging cycles. Also, the affects on performance after battery degradation at 5:37

Timestamps of some tests:

  • Test results for different charging speeds at 3:06
  • Storing batteries at 1%, 50%, 100% at 3:43
  • Battery performance at 4:42

After 6 mins he talks about why the tests took 2yrs and how they did it 3 times.

    You can buy a standalone copy of Tasker for $4 if you get the patreon membership.

    That does not require google play.

    Does Tasker literally have charge control these days (I’ll assume it has the sensor)? If so it’d make a good, more versatile solution for tinkerers (but probably at least 30% the cost or more give the module buying monetization craziness compared to a set and forget chargie).

    I haven’t checked. But, it should be possible. Combined with battery limit feature of most phones. You can post that question in askandroid@lemdro.id or the tasker subredit if you still use reddit.

      For those coming here from search, I actually did try the patreon path, for two months, and if you’re good with an ongoing subscription of $US48 per year (if you want updates), have at it. My experience was one password and silence thereafter. YMMV. Said password did not give updates, did not make me want to make tasker a part of my gOS experience (I hate that bastardized C language with gotos hard) who knows, spin the dice, the guy who took over from the original might be OK…

        Interesting. It’s not written anywhere that you need patreon to get updates. I assumed there would be an in-app updater and a lifetime license meant just that a lifetime license.

        You could post on the tasker subreddit or send another email.

        BTW, I found this information from the site faq

        Will I be notified of updates? You will not. You will get a special download link when you purchase the licenses. The same link will always contain the latest update

        Maybe, hit that link again to download the latest version?

        On another note, you mentioned finding my comment from search. Did you find my comment from searching tasker on lemmy? I didn’t expect anyone to find it from search.

          Maybe, did I mention I dislike the coding ‘language’ ? I gave up on it and am no worse for it, no hate on those who like it, it is after all the most functional android automation out there (but likely doesn’t have charge stopping ability or someone would have said, so the point is moot) The base tasker worked, and my discussion on the voice activation plugin fell on deaf ears, I moved on.

          No, I was talking to those who might find it in the future, why you would think it’s about you I dunno.

            You don’t need to learn C coding to use tasker. The latest version also has a simple UI named tasky for simply loading plugins from the website. I replied because you said the patreon version does not get updates but that does not appear to be true.

            Its not about me. I asked because the chances of someone finding this discussion on Lemmy especially for tasker is super low. People here prefer Foss apps for reasons. Anyway, lets move on I did not get the point of your comment at all.
