When I got my phone they advised me to limit charges to max 80% to extend the battery. Within 5 months it started to deplete too quickly, so I started charging it to 100%, and weirdly after that it's been holding charges much longer. Now we have this new usb cord that I don't understand but it supercharges a phone in 40 mins, from 0 to 100% - yay? The last time I replaced a phone battery it was a bad result. Is there anyone out there that can advise on best practices long-term? Thanks.

I think that most of the difference is using fast charge or not.
Anyway, in my to-do list I also have "studying how batteries work and decide yourself the best strategy".
It's there since the seventies...
