Seems this 99% worry on the NP3 capacity was unnecessary

Dear Colleagues,

Just hit 20 cycles. Still at 99%. Did NOTHING states 1400 cycles before 80%?

CMF1_hacker it’s maybe at 99.xx%…if that is possible… if 80% till 1400 cycles then it should be 70 cycles for 1 %…at 70 cycles it should be 98%… let’s see what happens after 50 more cycles…

My nothing phone 2a (I know it’s 3a) has 193 cycles and I went from 5002mAh to 4998 mAh. I think there is nothing to worry

CMF1_hacker When did yours first hit 99%?

PeterGalbavy

CMF1_hacker mine is 15 cycles and 100%

Mine was at 98 Percent after just three cycles but after the latest update (Metroid V3.5 250719-1646EEA) it was back at 100 percent and the Nothing Support confirmed that it was just a bug.

Til21 yeah, we still haven’t got that update over here (UK) to my knowledge, even though we get the -EEA firmware.

CMF1_hacker I would wait until this update, after that it is probable that the capacity is shown normally again 🙂

Nicouschulas how did you check the battery capacity? as much as i am aware i coudn’t find it in settings

Manually via app.

In the settings it’s only available for 3a es pro and 3 (sadly)

Increasingly, I find that it’s not really worth worrying about this sort of thing.
Batteries do what batteries do, we’re all aware that their capacity will drop off with time and there’s nothing you can do about it. I overthought this in the past with an old laptop and it cost time and caused anxiety when I couldn’t do “the right thing” - with my newest laptop I’ve not bothered and as far as I can tell, battery capacity is as close to it was when it was new as meaningfully matters.

Follow the guidelines for healthy batteries as closely as your life will allow but don’t sweat it too much. Live your life!

Nicouschulas oh ok thanks for sharing

Here is the data from my CMF1 with a little over 110 cycles. You can see when the NP3 arrived as this CMF1 got less use. Battery will decrease about 5% over the year.
