Ooh I'll finally have to switch! One less app sucking up battery in the background 😍

LiFePO4 batteries like being charged up high, so you're probably fine keeping them plugged in.

You're right about not going under 20% often, but you'll want to charge to 100% at least periodically to allow the cells to balance.

Edit: Please make sure you're looking up information on Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries specifically, they behave differently from standard lithium batteries and a lot of the advice shared here won't apply.

Welcome over! It is legitimately baffling to see the things people make up.

Hmm if only there were something other than a massive tower that caused environmental issues and a single family home πŸ€”

Nope! And yet they try to sell it as an open system lmao

They ship an outdated and unreliable implementation πŸ˜… There are things that use it, but my understanding is you couldn't use it in the same way you can on other platforms.

Apple: only implements a proprietary graphics API

Also Apple: Why does no one make games for my platform??

Yeah, I've heard this one is particularly bad. It's broadly fine but it is definitely slower than the one in my old OnePlus 7 Pro.

I paid $250 for the phone refurbished so I have a hard time complaining too much.

Still disappointing that it isn't using a proper IR illuminator. Apple's Face ID is still better, and the DyNaMiC iSlAnD doesn't take up that much space. I've adjusted to having a fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6 Pro, but the thing is so much slower.

Good thing the Volt has a really well-designed battery that you'll basically never need to replace. The management system babies those cells.

There's a reason people love crashed volts for DIY battery storage and EV conversions.

They really don't. It's not like after 10 years your battery just explodes and stops working. They lose a little bit of capacity and work just fine.

I have a 5 year old EV with barely any battery degredation. That I bought used!

that's... nearly as weird?
