The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro have absolutely unreal charging speeds, topping out around 65W thanks to the Warp Charge 65T technology. And while it’s great to be able to top off in just a few minutes, you’re also going to want to try and make sure that you’re charging your phones a bit “smarter”. This will help preserve the battery life and won’t just leave you with horrible battery degradation after just a few months. Thankfully, there are a couple of tools that you can use to help with battery degradation.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap Battery.
- Tap the toggle next to Optimized Charging.
When this is enabled, OxygenOS will analyze your usage patterns and habits in an effort to extend battery life, while changing the charging speeds while the phone is not in use. For example, if you plug your phone in or put it on a wireless charger every night, then you might notice that your phone won’t actually reach 100% until it’s almost time for you to wake up for the day. It will keep your phone’s battery hovering around the 80% mark before providing the juice it needs to reach 100% before your day gets started.
