Preserve MacBook Battery Life by Limiting Charging to 80%

MacBooks already throttle charging to about 80% when they predict a long plug-in period to protect battery health, a setting you can toggle in Settings > Battery > Battery Health. For more control, you can use the free open-source Battery app to force an 80% cap (or temporarily allow full charging when needed), though you’ll need to plan ahead for times you’ll require a full battery.

The 100% Charge Myth: How to Keep Your Phone Battery Healthier Longer

The 100% Charge Myth: How to Keep Your Phone Battery Healthier Longer

Charging to 100% overnight can slowly shorten battery life because it keeps the cell at high voltage, but the impact is gradual and modern phones are durable. For best longevity, aim for about 20–80% charge, avoid excessive heat, and prefer slower chargers; don’t regularly let the battery drop to 0%. Check battery health and replace the battery if it falls below around 80%, and you can charge to 100% when you need longer usage for travel or important days.

Galaxy S26 base model rumored to finally boost charging to 45W

Rumors suggest Samsung's standard Galaxy S26 will finally upgrade from 25W to 45W charging, with the S26 Plus likely staying at 45W and the S26 Ultra potentially jumping to 60W. Battery sizes are expected to inch up (S26 Ultra +200–400mAh; S26/S26 Plus around 4,300mAh and 4,900mAh). Speculation also points to a mix of Exynos 2600 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 variants, but nothing is confirmed. The lineup's exact structure (trio vs quartet) remains unclear as launch nears, and pricing parity with the S25 is hoped for.
