![]() ![]() Then put IFTTT’s POST/GET request strings into the Tasker Web Request tasks you created on the phone. Get the API and HTTP string for this event (it is really hard to find this string look under “webhooks”). These are very simple applets that say “if Maker Event XXXXX then turn PlugXXX off”. Create your own IFTTT “applet” to turn the plug on, and one to turn it off. Connect your wifi smart plug account with your IFTTT account, so that IFTTT can turn the plug on and off. Get a free account with IFTTT, if you don’t already have one.Create an account using their app is optional. I use the Wyze Smart Plug because it is cheap ($15-$20 for two). Get one that works with IFTTT, which almost all of them do. Get a “smart plug” or “wifi plug” and plug your charger into it.Make another profile and task for when the battery is at 75% Set up a profile to trigger the task when the battery is at 80%. Set up a task to send an HTTPS request with the string from IFTTT (more below). It is amazing how much you get for the money. Get a copy of Tasker from the Play Store, if you don’t already have it.It is not as hard to do as it sounds, but also not for the technically challenged. Here is my really geeky solution for Android. However, I don’t actually own an iPhone (yes, I’m a Mac+Android person, which is a rare combo these days), but this is what I gather. That way you can avoid keeping the battery at 100% for too long while still topping it off at the last minute to maximize battery life during the day. iPhones will keep the battery at 80% until it knows that you’re about to unplug it and use it for the day, at which it will then charge to near 100% to maximize battery life. I believe iPhones have a similar feature. ![]() ![]() As the battery ages, the Mac automatically reduces the charge capacity as needed so that it is never at 100% of the battery’s current capacity. My MacBook is about a year old and CoconutBattery reports the maximum battery capacity to be at 85% of its design, which I presume is partly attributed to the MacBook automatically lowering the charge capacity to that number. That way, even if I leave the laptop plugged in all day, I in theory should not have to worry about having to unplug it in order to keep the battery at 80%-the device does this for you. On my MacBook, Apple automatically reduces the maximum charging capacity to prevent charging the battery all the way to 100%. While this was true back in the day, the batteries in smartphones now work very differently. It used to be that letting your phone reach 0% battery and then charging it back to 100% was the best way to keep your battery efficient. To reduce battery aging, iPhone learns from your daily charging routine so it can wait to finish charging past 80% until you need to use it. Does Apple still use Li-Ion batteries? I think there are som hours, during which the full charge is available, becase iPhone says: Some people from our company came with their iPhones, that they are broken and they cant fully charge □ it takes some adjustment (optimize charging as Alex wrote) to let the phone charge fully. Maybe Apple is trying to reduce this risk, by letting phone charge only to 80%. It was with Li-Ion batteries, where repeated charge from lets say 99 to 100 % could lower the battery life. ![]()
