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

234 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…?

that used to be true but it’s no longer the case, also it’s possible it was fully charged when it left the factory but lost half the charge by natural discharge
