around 38C

I was shocked when my new realme, which uses the same tech, didn't even break 30°C while charging at 8+ Amps (should be around 80W). This was in a relatively warm room (25°C) and using the case that came with it, which surely doesn't improve thermals. It gets warmer when charging from other sources with only 2-3A, like USB-PD or QuickCharge.

Coupled with the fact that it's only accurate if you are constantly charging from below 15% to 100%, these are ranges that I rarely get my phone into.

AccuBattery needs a session to have 60% charged, so <20% to 80% works. Doesn't need to be every single one. I actually asked support about it and they said this was the lowest percentage they were comfortable with. I was requesting to make it adjustable.

Accuracy of the measurement isn't the entire point. I see the same issue, but since it helps track relative degradation over time it can still add value by giving more information when you suspect the capacity is getting worse.

    That's impressive. I'm looking at my phone now, not charging, but the screen is on, and it's at 33C. LOL

    It's rare for me to get that low, even while charging to 80%. 😵

    But yeah, every so often I'll let it drain, then do a 100% charge to see what's up. I don't like doing that, because even Accubattery says that takes up more of a charge cycle than charging conservatively.

    I do like the trend chart, although, the battery health on that actually went UP 5% between March and May 😱
