How To Guide Limit Charge

[rickysidhu_]

If anyone is wondering how to stop the Pixel from charging at a certain percentage, it's the following command:

echo 90 > /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level

Replace 90 with whatever percentage you want to stop charging at!

That's something I've been wondering how to do! kudos

Will this work for the older Pixel devices as well (such as my Pixel 4)? : o

No reason why not looking at the command, give it a try

Sounds good. But will it also drain battery from then on? Or will it continually "charge" to keep it at 80%? And is your command an ADB command?

You can use this in Tasker with a "run shell" task when the device boots since this reverts to 100 if you ever reboot the device.

Does this command require root?

Other than prolonging the battery condition/longevity, is there another reason to set a charge limit?

Last question: The command stays in effect until reboot?

Thanks.

I believe it does require a root, yes

I don't know any other benefit for limiting charge other than preserving the battery's long-term, overall health. Not allowing your battery to go too low or too high will help keep its maximum charge for a longer time

And yes, the setting will revert back to the default 100 after a reboot. I use Tasker to run the command on each boot, gotta love automation!

does limiting the charge affect the battery optimization algorithms?

thanks for this. if only every phone was this easy

For what it's worth, this works with the Battery Charge Limit [ROOT] app (XDA thread). Go into the app's settings, enable Configurable CTRL File Data, click Configure Control Data, click I Understand, paste "/sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level" (without quotes) in the Set Path to Desired File, and since this app expects you to set values for Enabled and Disabled, I set both to 75, since that's what I want my battery to charge up to.

If I start using an automation app like Tasker, then I can set it a different way, but I kinda like this app method anyway.

Edit:
Now I am using the Advanced Charging Controller (ACC) Magisk Module and the AccA app which is a front-end/GUI for configuring the module.

Forgive my ignorance I have not paid much attention to the forums over the last couple of years.

Is there a benefit to limiting the charge percent? is 90 the default recommendation?

The point is to limit battery degradation. Tesla does it with their cars. Personally, I'd rather just have an alert to notify me and I use AccuBattery Pro for that. I rarely charge overnight but if I actually do, I let adaptive charging handle handle the slow charging.

i did that but it won't do anything. it still charges above my set value, so i was wondering.

what i did in tasker:

created a profile > event > system event > device boot
created a task > run shell > "echo 65 > /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level"

i rebooted to make sure tasker was running (had battery optimization disabled on tasker), and tasker seems to run but it won't work. the "65" value was just set while i was testing it and since my phon was below 50% charge i did not want to wait that long so i started with 55, then 60 and so on. as i write this i'm waiting for it to hit 65% and hopefully stop charging. all i can think of is that i probably used the wron profile in tasker?

No problem!

Yeah for sure, that’s the beauty of android, there are several ways of going about things.

I use Tasker because that way it’s just one less app that I have on my phone. I like to have as many things inside of Tasker as possible to keep things organized and consolidated.

Although I’m currently back on iOS after being on Android for six years! I didn’t like the 6 Pro enough to keep it and I’m not going to get into details because there’s already a lot of hate threads for it - and I don’t want to add to that.

Let’s just say that I’ve been enjoying iOS more than I thought I would, especially considering I’ve been on android for so many years. So we’ll see what Google cooks up for the 7 series.

Anyways, back to topic, definitely going to miss Tasker for how much that can be done with it! The Shortcuts app on iOS is the closest thing to Tasker and it’s nowhere near as robust lol

does this work without root? i tried this using tasker but it did not work. how did u test it?

Yes, As far as root required.

You need root.

I just got one of these: https://chargie.org/

Seems to work well so far.

I have looked at them before but they seem very expensive for what they are, it is easier just to set a silent alarm for a few hours after you intend to get up.
