Hi Gordon, Thank you for your post.
So, if Apple added the optimized battery setting, then it would seem that even when the phone is connected to a charger, it will not charge to 100% even though the A/C current is available, or so I would think. This would lead me to believe that leaving the phone connected to a charger would have no detrimental affect on the device. Batteries, batteries, batteries. It would seem that, even at the end of 2022, they are still the weakest link in the technology food chain. I don't know; just a thought. You know what? In my mind, I think of batteries in the same way as I think of printers; boring but necessary (smile).

It's not good to leave the charger connected all the time. This is why Apple added that feature in battery settings called optimized charging. This learns your sleep habits and keeps your battery at 80 percent for most of the night and kicks in and finishes charging up to 100 percent before you wake up. Lithium ion batteries don't like stress. They are under the most stress when fully charged at 100 percent and below about 15 percent. So that's why Apple says keeping your battery between these points is best for long life. On 12/27/2022 5:59 PM, M.
