[battery] Sailfish OS and overnight (long) charge
asked 2019-10-17 20:01:55 +0200
Hi Sailors!
I just wonder if the software of Sailfish OS has the potential to deal with overnight (long duration) charge? Does it somehow cuts the power-in after 100 per cent charge? Or in other case is it highly detrimental to battery life to charge a Sailfish OS phone overnight? I noticed that the phone doesn't especially warns about the phone needing to be plugged-out as battery gets passed the 100per100 bar...
Various softwares deal in their own ways with this scenario, and i wondered what is the Sailfish OS situation.
Thanks!
I might be wrong, but I think this is taken care of at a lower level, not by the OS.

He uses a script that stops charging at 80% and starts charging below 30 or 40 %. I think, SFOS can more than typical user thinking.
Sorry for mistakes :)

But, as SailfishOS is not so terribly energy efficient, over night battery voltage may drop a little and will be recharged, as long as the phone is hooked up. Modern Li-Ion batteries last for many many full charge cycles, and for even more partial cycles. A less power hungry SFOS would be great.
