It's really a 20-80% range (look up lithium-ion 80%) but if I'm home, I may ask well keep it tighter if I'm already around charging sources.

A replacement is kind of cheap too

It's about environmental care, not money.

    I call bollocks, the environment wont cry if I change my 100 gram battery after 4 instead of 5 years.

    Also, nowadays it's inbuilt in the phone charging process, so no need to do it manually, only exception is going really too low (phones auto shut down at low percents, when you see 0, it's probably 5% left) and then leaving the phone for weeks.

    They can now also recycle lithium to like 98-99% IIRC.

    if I change my 100 gram battery after 4 instead of 5 years.

    But imagine if millions of people did this worldwide...

    But true, I forgot about lithium's improved recycling. Good stuff...
