What is the 80 20 battery rule?

The 20-to-80 battery rule is a guideline for lithium-ion batteries (phones, EVs, laptops) that suggests keeping the charge level between 20% and 80% for daily use to maximize battery lifespan and health, avoiding the stress of deep discharges (below 20%) or full charges (100%) which accelerate wear. While not a strict law, it reduces stress on electrodes, delaying capacity loss, though modern devices have built-in "smart charging" to manage this, so occasional 100% charges are fine.
