Better battery care suggestions

[evnchn]

Picked this phone because of the massive battery. Loved to see battery caring features from ASUS ❤️ . Please, if possible, add a possibility to set a threshold to charging (i.e stop charging after 80% or something, feature only seen in industrial laptops) and allow disabling of Quick Charge to make the phone last longer. You are only a few sysfs commands away from a durable battery. This phone is clearly built to last, as seen from the LCD display, the camera that can be pulled out manually unlike popup ones (don't do that unless after like 3yrs and motor is broken) and the collab with rhinoshield. Peek at AccuBattery if in doubt on how to make the battery last long. Don't want people voiding their warranty because they miss a battery-life-lengthening feature that, unlike other manufacturers, that can be implemented by ASUS, a company willing to listen. 

Sorry for confusing English

That's software related how charging is handled and they exactly know how it should be done.

I was using ai charge and battery stopped charging at 81..i  set the time from 5am to 12am... Try fiddling with it
 Haven't figured it out completely yet though.

Yeah but then battery stats don't get cleaned and you're getting garbage results. I am currently using from 12:00 to 11:59 so it charges only to 80%.

Why have the user
A: mess with the time settings every time they plug/unplug their phone
B: reverse-engineer the mechanism of the battery care app
When
A: ASUS can do it with the tools at their side
B: I have already guessed some, if not all of the sysfs commands.

@evnchn thank you for the suggestions! I'll forward this to the engineers.

I've given exactly the same feature requests (basically making battery charge limit app out of it) but I'm not sure whether they'll ever implement it.

We had something similar a couple of generations back in the Max series.
It was subsequently removed as far too few of the users were using it to maintain it (over other features)  - so we didnt carry over the feature.

However it doesnt mean its a bad thing. As LP_ already mentioned, we'll bring this back as feedback for consideration.
