Well I dunno but I thought my phone was getting through its battery a bit quick could not see any thing obvious like an app chewing it up.
So I downloaded on of them battery/power manager apps - which insisted that it was better to charge your phone to only 80% - which is great except I charge my phone over night and do not really want it waking me up at 2am to stop it charging.
Anyway long story short battery seemed to be ok so uninstalled the battery app and no adverse effect at all.Comment

The only argument for not charging above 80% is that it takes significantly more electricity to do so. It's relatively quick to get any device with battery charged to around 80%, but it takes almost the same length of time to then get from 80 to (as close as possible to) 100%.
If you want to save the source battery pack's life or wish to minimise your electricity bill then by all means charge just to 80%, but in reality it's peanuts and won't make a big difference.Comment
