1) I configured config.txt in the smartphone as oriented to shutdown at 34% and stop charging at 80%

2) any other settings in config.txt to increase battery life?

3) does ACCA have the same behavior as ACC Settings, does it interrupt and disconnect the beginning of battery charging?

4)
this setting in config.txt is for magisk's ACC module or for the ACCA app
to discard the ACCA app?

5) When I connected the charger to the smartphone more seconds to be recognized is this modifiable in the ACC settings?

... personally I prefer acc settings as front end, since it allowed me more configurations compared to acca (see previous posts in this thread). Acca allows you, to define some different profiles (e. g. when to stop charging, max. current, etc.) which can be selected by a single tap instead of changing these values in the acc settings gui. So if this advantage outweighs the disadvantage, you might prefer acca. Regarding options to enhance battery life, I would recommend the following (this is my very personal flavor, not claiming to be the scientific truth):
1) charge to max. 75 - 80 %
2) discharge to max. 10 %
3) limit the charging current to 500 - 1000 mA
4) pause charging above 35 degree Celsius
5) try to charge only when the phone is idle

But again, this is my philosophy, which I "ignore" if that is too inconvenient for me (e. g. needing a full charged device for a hiking day)

1) 10% discharge is not bad? I read that the battery discharge was correct 20 or 30% so as not to harm the useful life of the battery

2) I am in doubt about using only the ACC magisk module or using ACCA if I use ACCA will it consume more battery because ACC and ACCA will be together?

3) ACCA has difficulty saving my settings but in the txt file it was easy

4) pause charging above 35C I don't understand why my Redmi Note 7 only works at 43C so it will never charge the battery at 35C

5) where configures for 500 - 1000 mA???

6) I don't know if it's a configuration problem I was using the ACCA and ACC module I plugged the smartphone into the charger and it was only recognized after a few seconds not immediately and the battery charging stopped at 81% and not 80% that was configured

Don't be too paranoid , you want to use (!) your phone (and not its battery). A forced shutdown of my phone is very restrictive. Maybe I need may phone in this situation. Therefore, I use a different app to remind me at 20, 15, and 10 % to recharge but acc will shutdown only at 5 %.
The frontend apps don't drain (measureable) the battery. I recommend to use one of the frontends to configure, since you can harm your phone if manipulating something wrong. Carefully read the documentation for acc already posted by me above.
If your phone runs at 43C even in idle status (!) this wonders me but then for sure choose a different value e. g. 50C.
Defining the max. charging current can easily be done in the frontends (see screenshot) but is from my point of view not easy via the config.txt file, since the value appears in more than 1 place and I do not fully understand the syntax. But maybe you understand it when having studied the a. m. documentation.
Don't worry about 81 % vs. 80 %, this is precise enough for your needs.

1)sometimes i sleep and i wake up with the phone 0% so 34% is safe as there are 4% discharge left before below 30% because below 30% the battery university says it is not good for lifespan

2)which frontend do you recommend ACCA or ACC Settings with me the ACC Settings disconnects at the beginning of the load

3)yes my phone charges either at idle 42 or 43% but my city temperature averages 35C i set the app to 48C

4) 1000ma is good for battery?

why are my configurations inside ACCA not saved? I configure it and click on the save button but nothing is saved I managed to save it only by config.txt but I tried to configure 1000ma but it didn't save

... have experienced this also sometimes with both frontends without fully understanding the reasons
I then deinstalled, rebooted, reinstalled and reconfigured until it worked. Then I cross my fingers and appreciate that it works...
I also experienced that configuring while having the phone connected to my charger sometimes make the trick...
Don't give up. As soon as it works, let it unchanged.
Sorry for not having better advice for you.

What can I do to configure acca?

configure in config.txt for limit 1000ma?

prioritizeBattIdleMode=prioritize_batt_idle_mode=BOOLEAN

Is this like what the new sony xperia and the new galaxy s23 have? use direct charging from the charger without going through the battery?


using ACC App (AccA) my motorola g82 says that it is compatible, how do I know if this is true or not?

 

[Uluru25]

See my screenshot: in the second aection of acca profile configuration you can set the max. charging current. I set it to 1000 mA. As already written I would NOT change this manually in the config.txt.

I tried to configure it but it doesn't save I don't understand why it doesn't save

Maybe I can't help you further . As you can read in this thread, several guys have had issues to get acc working as expected. My last 3 recommendations:
1) if acca doesn't work, try acc settings
2) ask in the thread for your device and rom if someone can help you
3) for limiting the changing current you could achieve this also by using a weak charger from former days which delivers only a low current

Good luck!

i need help limiting 1000ma inside the acc config.txt where is the option?

does the original xiaomi charger limit the current to preserve the battery? it provides up to 1000ma and is that good for her life?

Does anyone know if is safe to use this UI for this module?
Thanks.

Whatever "safe" should mean in this context: yes I use(d) this gui in some of my phones.

1) I used ACC Settings before but it was not good for me because when I put the smartphone to charge in the first few seconds of charging the phone disconnected from the charger and this was only solved by uninstalling ACC Settings

2) I'm using ACCA and so far this problem hasn't occurred but the problem with ACCA is that it doesn't save my settings, I just change the configuration through config.txt

3) i want to change max charging mA to good value for battery life but i don't know where is this option in config.txt

 

[Uluru25]

If you really want to fiddle even more in the config.txt and take the risk, to change sth. which you (and I) do not fully understand: attached are two screenshots indicated as A and B. In A the max. charging current was set to 250 mA (appearing as 250000 µA in different places) whereas in B it was set to 1000 mA (1000000 µA). But take care that in this section also other values related to the charging current are defined. If it is safe to copy all values as in one of the screenshots for your phone I DO NOT KNOW!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
