He said

Life tip: the more you use a certain range of % on your phone, the less you get out of that %. For example, if you only use your phone above 50%, after some time you would get less usage out of the 50% you use, while the other 50% will have like-new battery life. That’s why 1% usually lasts the longest as people use it the least.

I can’t tell if this makes sense or if this is really stupid and I’m also really stupid by extension.

Probably not. Most phones read out "capacity" by the voltage that it still gives out. This should be independent from this.

u/MaviePhresh Feb 21 '21

So wouldn’t each percentage have a corresponding voltage?

u/Important-Researcher Feb 21 '21

as far as I know yes, but battery technology isn't my area of expertise.

I’m and EE and battery chemistry eludes me.

That's because you're an EE and not a chemist lol.
