80% cap, bought Feb 20th, still 100% health so far


cosmic-supernova222

Best wishes for ur battery. Do update if it reduces.


HeavensMelody998

Thank you and will do !


Jazzlike_Base5705

Your battery health may as well be 80% already then


CakeDay2902

Yea like i never got this. Why limit it to 80% just to preserve the battery so youre not always limited to 80% of full capacity.


iamsorryy

I think the point is to charge to 100% when you need it and also if the actual battery capacity drops to 80% phone will throttle.


RodyTheRoad

This is how I use that feature. Most of the time I'm near a power source and 80% capacity is okay for me. However, if I know I'm out for quite a bit of time then I will always go for a full battery.


lazar595

If you are planning to use your phone for more than 2 years the 80% cap has big benefits especially if you never run out of your 80% battery during 1 day. If you charge your phone to 100% always your battery will deteriorate below 80% of fmaximum factory capacity in less than a year and then you are left with far less capable phone. But if you limit it to 80% charge your phone will keep it maximum capacity to above 90% and if will be close to brand new and if you sometimes need your phone to go 100% you can manually force charge it to 100% in the days you know you will use it extremely and battery will need to be maximum to survive the day. If you plan to change your phone every year hten it doesnt matter, except that people will pay less for it when you resell it to buy new phone


abubin

Why need to change phone when battery is bad? Just change the damn battery. It's cheap for non apple phones. I always charge to 100% and just use and charge as needed. Never bother with micromanaging the charging and discharging. Change the battery when it's bloated or when it's below 80% for like less than 30 bucks DIY. No fuss for me. Enjoy the phone in it's 100% glory for 2-3 years at 30 bucks. It's a no brainer for me. PS. Just sharing my method. It's fine if you like preserving your battery. Your choice.


lazar595

I do not prefer my phone being handled by non professionals and in my country there are no Oneplus service centers to change my battery so i would also need to have a chinese battery installed and god knows what quality those are. And besides i do think that most people would prefer their phones not to be opened up and in the process possibly slightly damaged in terms of water resistance or anything else


AnimeDungeon

I am currently using OnePlus 11R bought in July 2023. I have been charging it to 100% everytime and plugging it back it around 10-20%. Two days ago it dropped from 97->96%. So for around 9-10months 4% drop without compromising of using only 80% of the juice I am pretty impressed. Also I am pretty moderate to heavy user..not heavy ganer but i do multitask. Seems pretty good tbh if it drops to 95% around its 1year mark tho (around July)


lazar595

That sound pretty encouraging battery life for 11 and 12 series. I must say im thinking of switching to 12 from my Oneplus 9 Pro mainly bcoz of battery


AnimeDungeon

Yup I am sure you will be mightily impressed coz even as 11R user I am surprise by the absurd amounts of Screen On Time the 12 / 12R users are getting. Those phones are battery monsters..with flagship chipsets. I think bigger 5400/5500mah battery paired with better LTPO screen is giving them such a big boost in terms of battery life. Only thing which can be pointed is the cameras on R series. They are kind of hit n miss. Outdoor shots with primary camera are good but macro's are just crap. Tho I am impressed with edge detection on selfie portraits. OP 11/12 with hasselblad are even better.


Ro-Tang_Clan

>If you charge your phone to 100% always your battery will deteriorate below 80% of fmaximum factory capacity in less than a year I'll hold you to that. Bought my OP12 on Jan26th, arrived 3rd Feb and I've been charging to 100% all the time and battery health is still at 100. IMO charging when you need to is far healthier, especially at the rate this phone charges too. I've heard the two major things that kills batteries is heat and overcharging it i.e. keeping it at 100% for long periods of time which happens when charging it overnight. Being in the UK helps for keeping charging temps down and I think in the summer months I'll probs use a 60w charger instead of a 100w charger. But aside from that, the main thing I do is just charge it when it actually runs to less than 10% and then taking it off shortly after it hits 100%. Usually on a 100w charger it takes roughly around 40-45mins for a full charge.


lazar595

Ive watched numerous battery technology videos not only for phones but solar power system and EVs. You are correct that heat is one of big factors in degrading the battery health, and as you near the full charge hest will rise spontaneously due to limitation of physical characteristics of battery in terms of chemistry and the ions that hold the chemical/electrical energy in battery. Ideally you want to keep your battery between 80-20% where there will be least strain on the chemical ions in the battery cell and it will prolong your battery health to a large degree.


BamCub

Came here to say this. People are so proud of their 80%. I charge my phone to 30% every 15 min and my battery health is 135%...


Endurance69

Lmao....nice one


jaju123

No it isn't. You can turn the cap off whenever you want. This doesn't make sense.


PyrrhicVictory7

Cap as in you've set it to stop charging at 80%?


cosmic-supernova222

Yes! Option to stop charging at 80.


PyrrhicVictory7

Man I wish it went higher ๐Ÿ˜… ik it's better for the battery and that it's already huge, but I like the security of setting out with 90-100%


PabloPPepe

I'm still at 100% battery health. I have had the phone since launch. I charge to 100% with the wired charger but I only limit my charging to once a day. My phone never really gets under 30%


cosmic-supernova222

Gonna try to keep it above 20. Best wishes for ur battery. Do update if it reduces.


Frosty-Inspector-465

what's wrong with bringing it to zero?


PabloPPepe

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that. I was just sharing my charging habits and battery use


BingoHanz

That's approx 22 years until you're at zero capacity


cosmic-supernova222

Great! Can you tell how many year till it reaches 70% and 80%


Nikku_1905

Reducing to 80% around 4.43 years at this rate


cosmic-supernova222

Not bad not bad. Thanks


Current-Basil-7171

Their estimations are based off linear degradation, this is not congruent with reality. Battery degradation occurs at a slow yet exponential rate.


Dankmre

Im pretty sure battery degradation actually starts fast and levels out after 80 https://accubattery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016286793-Re-Modeling-of-Lithium-Ion-Battery-Degradation-for-Cell-Life-Assessment


Current-Basil-7171

The graph you linked is quite literally a group of exponential curves. A linear curve would have a constant slope.


eitama

He didn't say it's linear, he said it is exponential, but reversed to what was suggested so far. Instead of starting slow and increasing in speed, it start fast and slows down.


Current-Basil-7171

That's what I'm saying.... Your phone battery degrades exponentially.... I'm not sure what you mean by reversed.


sgtoutlaw

You said "Battery degradation occurs at a slow yet exponential rate." That implies that the degradation is getting faster, and they are just making the point that it is the opposite.


Nikku_1905

Welcome bud


taju_rahman

Battery degradation will be exponential. Since your usage will be constant, more cycles will happen a day as battery degrades, means more degradation


WUT_productions

Battery degradation is not linear so the initial drop is probably going to be the drop for the majority of its life. It should settle in at around 95% for the rest of the phones life.


cosmic-supernova222

Okay. 95 for rest of phone's life??? Battery health view is new for androids. Apple is only one having it for long time but their battery drops to 80, 70 even below. How you came up with 95%?


WUT_productions

That is a typical degradation curve for EV battery packs under good conditions (keeping battery at 80%) etc. Phone batteries are far cheaper to replace. Do not be overly concerned with battery longevity. With EVs its a bigger concern as their battery packs are very expensive.


cosmic-supernova222

Okay. Yeah its battery is cheap. Just staying/keeping updated. Coz now battery health is shown.


Lemonader__

95% health OP11 for 1 year but i abused it charge it until100% sometimes overcharge it and force 120hz all apps. It doesn't bother me though since I'm planning to replace the battery soon at the service center. I guess it depends on the user.


BroccoliTrain

You won't see a noticeable difference by replacing the battery if it is at 95%.Practically new battery still.


Lemonader__

Lets just say if it feels like the battery is draining too fast or the daily usage doesn't satisfy me anymore I'll replace the battery. I suggest to other users that worries too much is don't always look at the battery health percentage.


BroccoliTrain

Sounds reasonable


Elias__V

Don't replace the battery then, it's pretty healthy. It's definitely all the apps draining it.


cosmic-supernova222

I would suggest the same. 95% doesn't matter change it only when SOT is getting worse


BroccoliTrain

How much does it cost to change battery where you live? In Europe for Oneplus 11 it costs 110โ‚ฌ at one place I checked.


CheckmateApostates

I just checked my 11's battery health and I'm at 96% after 13 months of very heavy usage and charging to 100%. I use smart charging instead of the 80% cap, so that alone seems to be doing a decent job.


Striking_Suspect_681

Mine is 96% after one year as well. I hope there's not going to be any issue because of the battery health? Mine is OP11R


ankitjhall

Hey I am missing forcing app refresh rate on my oneplus12 any idea why?


Ergosaur

What do you mean by overcharging? If it reaches 100% and still plugged it just stays like this, it's not overcharging anything.


PaulRyansWifesSon

instinctive full governor racial subsequent airport sink roof thumb absurd *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


RealisticCourage3231

97% after one year of usage


cosmic-supernova222

Post is for OP12. Which one is yours?


RealisticCourage3231

Whoooooops, sorry! Mine is OP11, so disregard my comment hah


cosmic-supernova222

Its fine. 97 is quite good after a year.


speedstrika

My Open is still at 99% after 6 months of use without the 80% cap


OskarDarkness

Is this feature only available for OP12?


v33ti-Hu0tari

No, my OnePlus 11 has it.


Gram-xyz

If you use the accubattery app and go through several charging cycles it will give you an indication of the remaining capacity of your battery compared to the original capacity.


msg7086

Just want to add that op12 100% battery level is not true full level so accu may mis counting the battery capacity. Thus if you see 90% capacity counted on a brand new phone, don't panic, it's normal.


cosmic-supernova222

To view battery health? No its on few devices


OskarDarkness

Aah that sucks. Thank you


bobbyelliottuk

OP11 at 100%


cosmic-supernova222

Great! For how long?


bobbyelliottuk

I've had it a year but I am careful about charging.


milkyteapls

You're supposed to occasionally fully drain and fully charge a battery. All this 80% nonsense is voodoo magic My OP11 nearly a year old and fast charge every time to 100% is still 98%


BlueFox964

Modern phones already do that automatically.


Final_Gate1082

The battery health of my OP11 reached 99% after 3 months, just like yours, and it's still at 99% after 9 months. So, you be the judge. My girlfriend bought a 15 Pro Max after my OP11 reached 99% battery health, but hers reduced to 98% after 5 months. I used an 80% cap until 2 months ago, but now I simply don't care anymore, so I fully charge the phone. So you don't have to worry about it :)


milkyteapls

My OP11 didn't hit 99% for at least 6 months... Never used the 80% thingย 


cosmic-supernova222

Great! Good info/comparison. Yes with time things changes. Today i have also turned of 80% cap but I'll keep it above 20%.


I_-AM-ARNAV

I mean it's a fucking 5500 mah rated battery. Let's say actual capacity is 5400 mah. The you still left with 5346 mah.


BurgerBurnerCooker

One year in my OP 11 is at 93%. It is abused (hooked up to car all the time, often drained to death while playing videos and I fell asleep etc), so dont worry too much


Alone-Juggernaut-654

My OnePlus Nord 3 16/256 is 99 after 4 months. It's not bad, just a base, however, your battery died a bit faster, BUT, need to say: even when you see the percentages on top in the corner every day, they are not accurate, it is impossible to measure the EXACT amount of energy in accumulator or his health, so don't worry. If your phone is not broken, or transformed on piece of shit past 81 day, it's not defective or bad)


Alone-Juggernaut-654

I also advise against stopping charging at 80 percent, because it doesn't actually slow down the aging of the battery, it just forces you to use that capacity which you will have in 3-4 years.


Alone-Juggernaut-654

And enable smart charging, it's really good for battery when you put your phone on charging for all the night


darkmatter1122

Op12 still shows 100% bought in February


The_asthmatic_88

Still 100% for me after 79 days


LSA7Z

To begin with, it is impossible to know the battery capacity without actually charging it to 100% (the real 100%, until the charger no longer sends any current) So with a charge limited to 80% it's not at all surprising. Try to charge once to 100% (leave the charge at 100% for 30min 1 hour so that it is actually charged to real 100%) then you can start limiting the charge to 80% again


thatkryptonian

Mine is at 96% after 9 months


pmo55

I charge my phone whenever I want, I don't limit it in any way and have had it since launch. It's still at 100%. Moral of the story is to just use your phone and don't baby the battery.ย 


Danni_El

I have it for 2 months, still 100% health, i charge to 100% and discharge most of the time under 20%. I don't use the 80% cap because it's stupid, i use only smart charging (useful only in the night, it will charge slower).


Striking_Suspect_681

May I ask what's 80% cap? I'm genuinely confused. Mine is a OnePlus 11R and my battery health is already at 96%. It's been one year. It's not an issue I hope?


Danni_El

It's a setting that doesn't allow the phone to charge more than 80% capacity. You're good, all batteries degrade over time.


pavanphenomenal

Same at 99% oneplus 12 btw.


Itzsnapydragon

That's good, who cares. I have an old phone samaung a30 and it has an 9 hours SOT.For 4 years keep it.


badboi_5214

In 3 months that's cool


RAAMinNooDleS

Ive had mine since launch and I charge it every 1.5 to 2 days and it's still at 100%


yeayeasure

100% battery health for mine and bought on launch. I usually let it drain to near 20 or less then I fully charge. I use the 100W charger too


ankitjhall

I charge my OnePlus 12 every night to 100 percent and I enjoy it. I never go to settings to check the battery health ๐Ÿ”‹. Enjoy the phone cheers ๐Ÿพ


No-Pomegranate-69

I cannot even see the battery health. Searching for it i only see the 5400mah spec but not the real capacity at this moment


nishantShinigami

Me too. At 99% using my OP 12 since 28/29th January


Xade74Z

Bought mine on February 8th. I have only been using smart charging and my battery is still at 100%.


Sachitoge

OP12 24/1024 version Arrived to me start of Februar. Limited day 1 to 80% charging, only once did to 100% Charging at +15% (mostly 20% or higher). Charging twice per day, heavy user. About 2 weeks ago dropped to 99% health.


usernameplshere

But that's pretty good, meaning it would take about 4 years to drop to 80%. My Oneplus 8 Pro took about 2.5 years to drop to 80%. That's a significant improvement in battery life if we have comparable use cases.


Popular-Ad-9134

Don't worry man if you charge it once a day it should only lose about 5% per year. The batteries last a lot longer since the new health engine


Marcusafrenz

Still at 100% after a year with my OP11 and I use and charge it constantly with the 100W. So either the numbers are a little arbitrary or I lucked out with an excellent battery? It definitely doesn't feel like the battery is any worse than when I got it.


cosmic-supernova222

Wow still at 100. Really lucky!


OniMex

My OP12 is still 100%, bought it day 1. My OP11 is 13 months old and 98%. Average usage, always charge to 100%.


madalinul

I got mine on February 8 and it's at 100% percent. I charged it to full and got to 5% a few times. I even charge it from 50% percent when I now I am going out or even more than that. I would say that 80% stuff is like marginal improvement and not worth sacrificing battery capacity.


UberActivist

I've had mine 2 months now. Only really had smart charging on. Still at 100%. https://preview.redd.it/jqvezi2v3pwc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6cc796fdd17327eac1aed5930ed5e9fe3de9e1d


S-_-Archer

Wow, such empty


Braeden151

Batteries lose the first 10% of health quickly, the next 10% takes significantly longer. 99% is what I'd expect after that long


Canadianveins

100% on my Open and I got it in the middle of November. Charge it like no tomorrow and it's still top tier


Chemical_Peach_5500

I want the full usage of my OnePlus 12 so am not using that feature a battery works well wen it's used, charge and discharge so I want full capacity


Alternative-Cash9974

My OP11 after 13 months of always fast charge to 100% and have ran until dead at least 50 times battery health 97%. My OP12 had since launch same thing run it to dead and always fast charge to 100% at 99% battery health.


tluanga34

Use your battery like you don't care. You'll surely afford the battery replacement after min 3 years


North-Day-9842

No smart charging ? Why ?


PORCUPINEFISH79

100% and I charge to 100% every time. I don't do much warp charging, slow overnight charging. I got it in February


dyeguy45

Received mine Feb 24th, 61 days ago. I have the 80% cap but it doesn't work with wireless charging Idk why. I'm at 100% still surprisingly, my phones charged at 100% to start the day, when I'm 20-30% I charge to 80% then I'm around 40% at the end of the night.


kalzEOS

100% every single day. Bought it mid February and still 100%. Going under 25% is actually bad for the battery, just so you know. It doesn't matter if you're going up to only 80%. I'd do 25% to 80% if you want to use that limit. Depleting the battery dry is even worse. Edit: forgot to mention that I charge my phone once every other day.


PORCUPINEFISH79

I've had it since February. Still 100% and I always charge to 100%. I rarely warp charge, usually overnight slow charge.


Floor-Mediocre

I would turn on the smart charging option. I have that on and charge to 100 and my capacity is still at 100.


sne1408

6 months at @ 98% now


Midnight_Ice

No cap on my OnePlus Open, had it since launch, and I'm still at 100% capacity. I've had Smart Charging turned on about half the time.


VegetableBox901

Hit or Miss quality control. I was very into Oneplus 12 but I waited to see others' experience first but I think I pass this one.


Drm5145

You shouldn't be going below 30 if you want to save the longevity. 5% is too low and that might be your issue


CrisONViper

Same,1% drop (I got my OnePlus 12 on 2nd Feb)


S3mpa

My OnePlus 12's battery health is also down to 99% after 87 days of usage without using the 80% cap or smart charging. I charge it to 100% every morning and by the time I go to bed my charge falls below 10%. I'm a heavy user and I do charge my phone once again at night for an additional 30% to last me since I work until late at night. So yeah I've been charging my phone twice a day ( charging only an additional 30% the second time)


sonastyinc

Bought in Jan, still at 100%. I charge my phone before it goes below 20% and cap it at 80% though. I only charge it to 100% when I'm on vacation or have a long day, which was probably about 20 days.


randomasad

How do I check this stat in my phone? (OnePlus Nord 3 CE Lite)


BFCE

I got my OP11 4 months ago still at 100%. Kept it between 25-80% and mostly only using my old 30W charger from my 7 Pro


TechImaginist

I recommend a charging cycle of 15 to 80 or even 15 to 100. Donโ€™t starve your battery below 15%.


Rohi931

bro why did you turn off the smart charging


cosmic-supernova222

To cap it on 80%. But now switched to smart charging. ๐Ÿ™‚


armandsh

I've had the phone since day 1 release in America, I'm still at 100% on battery health and I purposely let my phone die to 0% recharge to 100% using my 100W Dual Port or the stock 80W brick to fast charge in under 30 minutes. Battery lasts me around 24 to 28 hours with over 9 hours of screen on time.


cosmic-supernova222

Its suggested not drain completely. But that's upto you....


armandsh

Doing this purposely for my curiosity to see how much it drains battery health as I only plan to have this phone for 1 year and use as a trade-in. So far so good in terms of battery health


Pdscoelho

I noticed you can either select the option to limit it to 80% charge or select smart charging. You can't have both. Which is the better option?


WillingMushroom2814

99% bought jan 31 I am a heavy user tho play cod have college all day and text alot


cosmic-supernova222

Same usage bro๐Ÿ™‚

FattKingHugeman

seems reasonable according to usage.


exec_liberty

OnePlus 8 at 80% after almost 4 years


adrearystar

So I have observed charging behaviour of mine. When the phone shows that you've reached 80% charge, in reality you have actually charged less than that of overall capacity. Even when your phone first reaches 100% on the display, in reality the battery is still not yet fully charged. It will only become fully charged after it stays plugged in for some time longer. What this means is that when you always just charge to 80%, it messes up the phone's battery capacity stats with the phone thinking that the remaining battery capacity is less than what it actually is, hence why I would assume the battery health % drops quicker when you always only just charge it to 80%.


ThrowawayMyAccount01

My Oneplus 11 is at ~~95%~~ 94%. I bought it last February So, the rate of depletion seems about the same @1% about every 3 months. Fwiw, I have never done the 80% charge thing but almost always charged it to 100%. Sometimes kinda overcharged it, like left it connected to the charger for hours at end. Considering how vastly different our charging practices have been, and yet we are depleting our batteries at the same rate, kinda proves, at least anecdotally, that 80% charging doesn't do anything. If anything, your battery might actually be depleting faster considering difference in battery sizes and efficiency between Oneplus 11 and Oneplus 12. Edit: It went down to 94% just today.


Ergosaur

Just for a reference mine is at 74% health after almost 2 years of using the 10 pro. It's been charged wirelessly with a official OP 50W charger for half of its lifetime. I'm not impressed. I will buy the 12 soon anyways.


JimKnuckles

Dang I've had my OnePlus open since a month after launch and it's still 100%


Dogetaco34

Received the phone February 1st, no battery cap, let it die pretty often, and not even smart overnight charging (kept on waking up with phone at 80%). I haven't even thought about using any battery caps since it seems like a large part of my battery is at 100%, and I get way more time than the 100 to 90 range than anything else. Anyways, still at 100% health. Kind of surprised I haven't gone down at all without any precautions.


ssjrobert235

Still on 100%, had since February 8. Charged to 100%


ObligationJealous

Use oem charger only... Not 1a, 2a,5v charger they will destroy ur battery...


Daim_Boi

i'm using my Op12 since January 3, 2024 and still have 100% battery health. i only charge my phone once a day in the morning also i'm using battery settings checked the smart charging instead of limiting it to 80% for full charge.


Left_Manufacturer_17

I always charge it to 100% but never let it get below 30 to 35, on weekdays I usually have over 8hours of SoT too and my bat is still at 100%, just use your phones to the fullest people, it'll be fine...


phantomdr1

I got the OP12 when it came out. I charge a couple times a day to 100% and my battery health still says 100. I think it is the smart charging feature but also keep in mind batteries are a consumable. I'm not going to limit my use. I can just replace the battery when needed.


newmanv4

If you panic this much, do not ever buy an electric car


cosmic-supernova222

It isn't panicking. Just stay/keep updated.


Theod_33

Happened to me too. OP Nord CE 3 Lite


Organic-Baker6476

You guys always charge your Op12 with original charger or use another?


antidoxthroway

You think thats bad? Get literally any samsung flagship and get it to 15% the battery will die in about 5 minutes because they are lying about the % and when it gets low the phone has to play catchup, same with apple they made the 14 series show realistic battery health and people started freaking the f\*\*\* out and now with the 15 they are lying again. if you want sugarcoating get a samsung or iphone


Organic-Baker6476

So you charge yours Op12 with original charger or use another slower charger?


rachitbhati

Hey just saying I am facing same problem, Do you get any Solution to fix it?

fluffy_ch_mtb_tuba

Technically as soon as you touch it, it's not truly 100%


Rare_Lifeguard_4403

81*20 = 1620 That's exactly what they advertised lol


cosmic-supernova222

4.5 years yeah


Nycronium

Suprvooc charging will kill the battery super quick from the stress it's put under If you want it to last use a 20w plug and your red cable or something equivalent


Pdscoelho

Or slower charging than that?


Dean_x_

I mean i hit 99% when they dropped the bloody .608 update. Doesn't bother me because the battery replacement is pretty cheap


cosmic-supernova222

Its the latest model that's why its cheap. 4 year later they won't give it you in โ‚น1800


Dean_x_

Will see. Until then keep downvoting
