[ 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.
