I always hear that it’s bad for lithium batteries to charge over 90% or over 90% so why is there no setting to stop charging after a certain threshold on my phone, kindle, pc or e-skate?

My phone, and previous phone had the option to stop charging at 85% on by default so I left them that way cause it worked for my usage. Last one was a Sony and current is Samsung so I imagine this is fairly prevalent already at least for phones.

I dunno the details of your devices so can’t comment on that. I can imagine maybe your devices just don’t have that option so why you’re asking. I know nothing about the laptop bit, as I use mine pretty much plugged in all the time. However it’s 4.5 years old and occasionally gets unplugged by cat or husband and it’s still hours before I notice because it says the battery is low, so either it’s managing limiting charge or it’s just a good battery.

I have a Kindle and charge it in between reading so it gets charged, I keep it between 30% and 80%ish but it’s hit 100% a few times. For me the Kindle charging really has to do with how often I read so I try to plan the charging accordingly.
