Charging Li-ion batteries to their full capacity has a significant impact on their lifespan. If possible, it is good practice to charge more often, but only to a certain lower capacity.

Charging Li-ion batteries to their full capacity can lower their lifespan. If possible, it is good practice to charge more often, but only to 80% capacity.

**Note:** continually running your Bangle.js battery flat will impact its life far more than charging it fully - only use this app if you're able to charge often enough that the Bangle.js battery isn't dropping below 20%.

The first stage of charging Li-ion ends at ~80% capacity when the charge voltage reaches its peak*. When that happens, the watch will buzz twice every 30s to remind you to disconnect the watch.

- Full capacity is reached after charge current drops to an insignificant level. This is quite some time after charge voltage reached its peak / `E.getBattery()` returns 100.

- The battery is 175mAh and charging happens at 100mA, so a full charge from flat will take around 1.75 hours.

- This app starts buzzing some time after `E.getBattery()` returns 100 (~15min on my watch), and at least 5min after the peak to account for noise.
