The Google Pixel 8 and 9 series now feature a battery charge limit option that caps charging at 80% to extend battery lifespan, along with a new bypass charging functionality.
To access the new battery features, users can simply navigate to Settings > Battery, toggle 'Use charging optimization,' and select 'Limit to 80%,' which activates both charge limitation and bypass charging.
While other brands like Samsung have set specific requirements for similar battery management features, Google has not officially outlined any charger specifications necessary for bypass charging to function correctly.
The new bypass charge feature diverts power from an external source once the battery reaches 80%, which can help maintain battery health by preventing frequent full discharges.
