You can reduce this risk with a Magisk module known as the "Advanced Charging Controller."

This tool will allow a limit to be placed on the charging percentage; I have my phone set at 80%, so the battery never spends time at 100% charge which is the most damaging.

ACC is simply a must-have for me right now. Battery degradation is massively limited if you don't charge over 80%, especially with the ridiculously unnecessary "ultra fast charging" most phones come with nowadays. And it is still plenty to last through the day.


A low tech approach is to put the charger in one of these mechanical timer switches.


That would constantly charge and discharge the battery – probably much worse than just keeping it at 100% continuously.
