    No, its not. Deep battery discharge and high heat can reduce your battery lifespan more compared to charging to 100%. You only save a few percentage of battery health at most after 500 charge cycles. Modern day smartphones do not simply charge to 100%. They use multiple heuristics and algorithms to only charge to 100% when necessary.

    Anyway, if you really want maximum battery health. Charge from 20%-80%. But, You would in effect be artificially limiting yourself to 60% and be frequently connected to the charger. Also, you would be micromanaging the tech and, not lettin tech do things for you.

    Here’s an awesome video by HTX studios who did a battery test for 2yrs: https://youtu.be/kLS5Cg_yNdM

      Most phones should have a setting to stop charging at 80%. My last 3 phones did at least.
