Re: What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

"Charge limiter" is just my way of referring to the built in feature on newer iPhones that allows you to set a maximum charging threshold. iPhones older than the 15 apparently don't have it, even with the latest iOS software. Not sure exactly why. Ah, thank you. Wife has an iPhone that I ...

Re: What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

I’m not sure if you’re talking about increasing wattage during charging since you quoted my entire post, but I googled it and AI says that is not a feature. <shrug>

Re: What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

This is a timely thread as my device is getting old and suddenly the battery doesn't last as long between sips as it used to. Results from coconutBattery app: The first green bar is to be ignored as it's still charging. The second, "design" is what counts I guess. Getting close to that 80%...

Re: What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

I’ve never heard of a charge limiter. Is it an app?

I have a piece of hardware, just a dead man’s switch that plugs into an outlet. I can plug in devices to charge and set it for a ½ hour. It just cuts the power. Kind of wish it had more options besides ½ hour and 3 hrs, but it’s handy.

Re: The Bond Dream Room

Bond yields going up (so prices down).
According to one letter I read, it's strong economic growth, a heavy demand for mortgages and a surge in oil prices.

Re: Assorted Gold-related News

.. The original Pound dates back to the mid 700's, when it was a Saxon pound weight of silver. The state (King/Queen) had to pay real rates of return (interest = more gold) in order to borrow. ..

Are there any special benefits, comparable to trading an ounce of gold vs fractional or is it, as I suspect, just a fun social club (in-group)?

Re: What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

I usually sip at 40% and let it go to 70%. I think I learned that here , this forum. But more often than not I leave the house without my phone. That’s what I said, yup. No wonder you take so long to respond to messages sometimes. ;D 😂 It’s really hard to notice when there’s a message from Signal!
