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%?

    Modern devices do this themselves, I guess through the EC (embedded controller). Best is to use an official or high quality charger with the exact fitting power.

    Also if you have USB C, not every charger will have PD (power delivery) and recognize what power a device needs. For example I can charge my phone with my Thinkpad charger, but not any random cheap one
