I use it a lot but it’s like new after 3 years so I really don’t care. A replacement is kind of cheap too so it’s not worth the hassle, for me.
I think your figures are for older batteries with less stable anode/cathode tech. Or the predecessor of our modern batteries. Who tries to keep their battery between 40 and 75%? It defies the usability of it IMO.
I call bollocks, the environment wont cry if I change my 100 gram battery after 4 instead of 5 years.
Also, nowadays it’s inbuilt in the phone charging process, so no need to do it manually, only exception is going really too low (phones auto shut down at low percents, when you see 0, it’s probably 5% left) and then leaving the phone for weeks.
They can now also recycle lithium to like 98-99% IIRC.

It’s really a 20-80% range (look up
lithium-ion 80%) but if I’m home, I may ask well keep it tighter if I’m already around charging sources.It’s about environmental care, not money.

But imagine if millions of people did this worldwide…
But true, I forgot about lithium’s improved recycling. Good stuff…
You are right of course, but it’s kind of long down the list of things that if everyone did it it would ne benefical ☺️ right?
