Is it better to let lithium batteries stay plugged in or constant 80/20 cycle - eviltoast

I am doing research on best practices for my lithium batteries and lifepo4 powerstation. There’s some conflicting opinions and variation for cycle numbers.

Will leaving my things plugged in at 100% hurt it more than constantly unplugging at 80% and replugging at 20%?

    If this is an Android phone, go install Accubattery

    Too bad that app has 7 trackers embedded and access to the ad ID :/

      The permissions look fairly reasonable to me considering it needs to run at startup and monitor other apps, and the Pro upgrade is an embedded option that would need connectivity.

      I just firewall it anyway, but that requires root.

      IIRC you can change your ad ID any time but that’s kinda outside the scope here.
