It’s not about a feature “being present but not being used”. BMSes provide “bypass charging” by cutting off the battery once it’s charged so it’s not being used (neither charged nor discharged). This usually happens at the 100% charging voltage.
Programmable BMSes allow this voltage to be set. When you limit battery charging to 80%, programmable BMSes allow the bypass charging to happen at this lower percentage, which simply wasn’t a default on Pixel devices because Google overlooked the connection between the software feature and the hardware control.
This doesn’t mean that:
other manufacturers overlooked it too
the feature didn’t exist in the past
the feature didn’t work in the past
the feature is something new
yet again, some reading comprehension of the full article instead of thinking you’re all-knowing because you’ve read the title or maybe even the first paragraph, is a super helpful skill in life. I recommend you start using it.
Absolutely correct. I skimmed over the conversation and just replied with a vaguely correct sounding but poignant statement despite having 0 knowledge on the subject.
This is why it’s important to not invest too much of yourself in online discussions - people are stupid, especially people like me.
If a feature is present, but not being used, that is effectively the same as it not being present in the first place.

The issue is that they were confidently wrong, and you came off aggressive, ppl are just gonna look at tone and assume you’re wrong lol
