Mobile phone batteries – now partly precharged? Does it not screw up the battery?

291 viewsOtherTechnology

So I was always told with new electronics that you need to charge the battery to 100%+ before you use it for the first time as that effectively sets the size if the battery – you can’t charge it past that point in future so if you only charge it to 50% you’re limiting yourself to a half capacity battery. I’ve just bought a new phone that comes with the battery partially charged.

Was I lied to all my life? Or is it that batteries have evolved over the years so things have changed? Or do I now have a limited capacity battery? Or…?

Even with NiCd the memory effect only appeared after dozens of recharge cycles. You have indeed been fed 100% homegrown bullshit by somebody.
