Google has really done a lot with the battery with its Pixel phones. Not in terms of power, which has hardly changed, but in function and information.
If we look at the current Pixel models, they provide better information about the integrated battery (in the settings) and at the same time users can access functions like the relatively new 80 percent limit.
Now Google has a written minimum number of charging cycles during which the battery should maintain capacity. Basically a guaranteed lifetime.
As of the Pixel 8a, the battery must maintain at least 80 percent capacity for up to 1,000 charging cycles. For previous models, Google claims 800 charging cycles. The same is true of Apple.
A charging cycle is a complete discharge and charge. Partial loads are definitely included. Charging from 50 to 100 percent therefore counts as 0.5 cycles, Google notes on a support page.
Google also gives customers an important tip: Pixel devices should be charged in “cold places”, but we’re talking about 25 degrees. This is usually pretty close to normal room temperature in Germany, whether it’s winter or summer. Temperatures above 35 degrees should generally be avoided.
Additionally, Google said that users should not use their devices while charging. Why? Charging and CPU load simply generates twice as much heat, which can be harmful to the battery.
