Does it bother you when your phone charge goes below 80%?

[Anonymous]

Help me settle a debate. How do you feel when your phone charge goes under 80%?

A. Plug it in immediately
B. I’m okay with anything from 60-40%. Then I start looking for a charger.
C. Eh it’s fine. I’ll plug it in before it drops to 3%
D. I cannot answer this question because my phone is dead. Also I lost it because I can’t call it to find it.
E. Other (please specify)

Is there an ideal charge amount you feel comfortable with? Does your partner share your charging % habits, or is it a source of constant conflict in your relationship?

Under 80%? Ahahahahaaahaa

80%? No, it definitely doesn't bother me.

C. I think it bothers me when it's at about 10% and I have to use it for a conference call.

I'm also that person with 1,000 unread emails in their inbox, FWIW.

How I "feel" is not a debate. Do whatever makes you happy. As for what's best for battery, don't let it go below 20% and don't overcharge (but people differ on this one).

This is also me.

No. When I plug it in depends on the circumstance, but if I'm just at home/the office and am not going anywhere soon - it has to get down to around 30% before I plug it in.

I keep a meticulous inbox.

A.

Total weird anxiety.

Same, except I keep all my inboxes at 0 unread because it bothers me.

I have a battery case. Which one should I panick about and at what level?

[Anonymous]

My threshold is 20% when it threatens "Low Power Mode." My unread e-mail notification says 29,000, but that's mostly because Pottery Barn's "unsubscribe" button doesn't actually do anything.

E, I guess because until the phone tells me to plug it in because its almost dead, I have no idea what the charge % is.

Who checks that at all, let alone obsessively enough to know it's at 80%, lol? I'm never far from an outlet though, so I guess if my job required me to be away from a plug, I'd be more careful and plan to have a full charge before I left.

I start looking for a charger when it goes in the single digits.

Same for the car: when the needle is hovering a hair’s breadth from E.

Different people see different risks differently. I take strict Covid precautions, for instance. But all my money is in hi-tech stocks, hand-picked and managed by me.

I plug it in when it’s under 40%. And whenever it’s convenient for me to charge it. My phone is several years old and doesn’t stay charged for too long
