Decky Power Tools already offers this, and I believe there’s a desktop setting for it as well. Still very nice to have though.

Yeah I don’t get it either. Just make 80% the new 100%, and if someone wants to get the most capacity as a “power user” (no pun intended), they can manually switch to a capacity of 120% at the warning that this will decrease battery life time.
This way, it’s opt-out instead of opt-in.
120% of 80 is 96. You’d have to let them charge to 125% to get to 100
Yeah, I was just trying to keep it simple for the non math folks.
Mmm i wouldn’t go that far on most devices, most of the time that would result in unsatisfying runtime.
however for devices where they can easily run days on a charge, yeah it makes sense. My xiaomi smartwatch gets 6 fucking days on 70% charge with quite a lot of power-drawing features enabled, so there’s really no reason to ever charge it above 80%.
But on my phone i very much need to be able to charge it to 100% before travelling, it only gets like 16h with the screen off on a full charge.
Your phone only last 16 hours and that’s with the screen off? I think you need to check your phone, because that’s not normal. Your phone should be able to last a full day or two.
Yeah, so at that point you opt-in to the “overcharge” (just to make it look scary!) method of charging 100%
