Am I old now?

Jump
  • Nope, original battery, still got 7 hours of Screen-on time.

    AccuBattery report 81% capacity remain based on ~900 charge cycle recorded.

    I NEVER let the battery get below 20% and NEVER charged pass 80%. It took A LOT of effort to maintain that for years, but it was worth it.

    I don't have my phone with me right now, but here's my 4 year old tablet. It got abused a lot more than my phone.

  • My phone is almost 7 years old but in pristine condition. People often praise me of how careful I am when taking care of my belongings.

    But the truth is I'm just poor AF. If something broke I don't know how long till I can replace it so I just have to "babying" everything I own.

  • That's old power banks from decade ago. Majority if not all reputable powerbank brands now have charge passthrough.

    Some will charge your device to full first, then disconnect the device and charge itself second.

    Some will slowly charge both the device and the powerbank itself (I emphasize the Slowly part, probably at 5V 0.5A).

    For OP, look for something on the packaging that indicates it have the mentioned above function.

    HOWEVER! No good powerbanks will work as a UPS. Because they have built-in protection that will disconnect the power when fully charged or turn itself off when the plugged in devices is full.

    I said "good powerbanks" because cheap, no-name one doesn't have those protections and will keep on trickle charging both itself and the devices, which is really bad.

    Also, as a rule of thumb, you DO NOT want to plugged in your lithium battery at all times and keep it at 100%. That's the recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

    A cheap or 2nd-hand acid-battery UPS can be bought for as little as $30-$50 on Ebay, even the smallest one will be capable of powering the noise machine for days.
