Let’s be realistic here, a minor change of going from charging to 95% versus 100% will have a relatively minor impact on battery health. There are far worse things you can repeatedly do to your battery over the course of its lifetime.


Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures, repeatedly discharging to below 10% are far more serious consequences for your battery.


But if it makes you feel better, try it and if you’re not constantly depleting your battery it might have a small affect on your battery health.


If it makes any difference I charge mine to 100% every night using optimized charging and I get 3 to 5 years out of my batteries. It’s just one less thing I have to worry about throughout my day.
