It's been "every day" for as long as I can remember. Some new world-changing battery tech is right around the corner, but never manages to appear in consumer vehicles...
Battery tech is constantly having huge breakthroughs. They are just come in small steps.
I mean a smart phone is literally a battery powered computer. It's absolutely astounding compared to what we had 10/20 years ago.
Only thing I'm upset with is that we get more battery capacity, but not longer battery time. I want to clock my phone down to save power, but that's not allowed.
It's absolutely allowed.
It's not as good as previous versions but I am running stock android and I have wifi power saving and phone (background) power saving modes available. I just checked and the estimate of time until zero percent battery goes from 22 hours to 28 hours with the node that limits backup processes, and that is with 59% on the battery.
There was a power save mode on my old phone that made everything grey screen and stuff that was way better. I think I enabled it for a camping trip once and used like 20% battery in 3 days.
