minus-squarehogmomma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoWhat’s the opposite of “full empty your battery before charging it again?”
minus-squareAtemu@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 year agoDon’t let it uncharge fully. You ideally want to stay in the 30-70% range as much as possible.

Thanks Jaime!
