After learning how to get the most life out of the Leaf's Li-ION battery, I'm thinking about ways to prolong the life on the rest of the Li-ION batteries that I use, especially my phone and laptop which I use daily and rely upon for work.
I've only seen one laptop that has an 80% charge limit setting built in (Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon). My Surface Pro (2017) doesn't have this...anyone know of 3rd party software that will do this?
Likewise for an Android phone (Pixel XL)? I have at least stopped using quick charge on my phone for every charge, and now use it only when I need it. I try to trickle charge my phone overnight instead.
Granted the Leaf battery is far more expensive to replace than a phone or laptop, so maybe it isn't worth it for smaller devices...but still, the principles of battery management should be the same across the board.
