You were able to limit the charge/discharge to stay within 20/80% or something like that? That's awesome, i should look into doing that myself

I have the Fairphone 5. Limiting the charge to 80% is actually a feature without rooting!

Damn, i thought i had the fairphone 5 as well, but it was "fairphone 4 5G" ๐Ÿ˜…

Time to throw away my ~1 year old phone to buy the newer model! /s

You can also disable fast charging in the same menu to prolong battery life.

Yep, I stay within 30%-91% where possible, and also limit the charge current to 500mA since the device defaults to 2.7A which I think is a bit high...

As @airbussy@lemmy.one mentioned it's probably in the settings menu for your device if you've got a newer phone.

On the FP3, the phone's hardware supports it, but it's not implemented anywhere in the settings sadly - only way to access it is by rooting
