What is the 80 20 battery rule?

The 20/80 battery rule is a guideline for lithium-ion batteries, suggesting you keep the charge between 20% and 80% for daily use to significantly prolong battery lifespan by reducing chemical stress, avoiding full charge/discharge cycles which cause expansion and strain. It means charging to about 80% for regular use and plugging in before it drops too low, but you can fully charge to 100% when needed for long trips, as modern devices often have built-in management to protect against damage, though heat (especially from wireless charging) is a bigger enemy than occasional full charges.
