It's a pity they don't offer the option to 'supercharge' to 100, so you get extended battery life when desired, when you know you will need it. Say, going camping, or plan to use the phone a lot for whatever reason.
Turn it up to 11!
Yes, they could call it spinal batt.
I just bring an external battery in those cases. My 10 Ah battery holds about 130% of my phone battery. That's a lot of hours if I put my phone in airplane and battery saver modes.
Yes, I do that for trips over a day. However, if I'm just planning a lot of use, I don't. So, kids birthday party with lots of video, it will last but goes to lower end of battery by end of day.
Pokemon go or ingress or similar also an issue. It just seems that more and more over time consumers are being protected from ourselves. Even when we know what we're doing. It's annoying.
