OnePlus not only showed off its first-ever concept smartphone, the Concept One, with an electrochromic glass at CES 2020 but has also announced a new feature for existing users. Called Optimized Charging, this new feature will help prolong your battery’s health by pausing the charging process – after it reaches 80 percent – when you plug your phone in at night.
In an official forum post, OnePlus details the steps to enable its new Optimized Charging feature. You can simply head to “Settings -> Battery” and you will find a new toggle for Optimized Charging available here. Just toggle it on.
Now, when you place your phone on charge, this feature will ensure that the battery is only charged to 80 percent. The charging will restart 100 minutes prior to your usual wake-up time to offer you a completely charged device. If you are charging your phone during the day, OnePlus will display you a “Continue Charging” button in the notification drop-down menu. You can tap on it to disable this feature and continue charging to 100 percent right away.
