[ GLOSSARY DEFINITION ] Battery

charge limit

A setting that caps charging below 100% to reduce battery wear.

Full Definition & Technical Explanation

A charge limit stops charging at a set level, often 80%, because lithium-ion cells age faster when held near full. It trades a little runtime today for longer battery life.

See adaptive charging and cycle life.
