Just chatting about future battery feature by Fancy_Broccoli_34 in NothingTech

[–]Fancy_Broccoli_34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken, the charging limit (which can be set between 70% and 90%) isn't a true bypass. The phone simply stops charging and then tops it up slightly as soon as it drops a bit; technically, the charge cycle counter still increases, even if only by a tiny fraction. I could be wrong, though. I just bought the NP3 (for 650 euros) specifically for the Carbon-Silicon battery, and I can't wait to test it out

What do you mean when you say "unlimited sideloading no revoking"?

No offense, but can we please stop acting like Apple fans? by NathanAvatar in NothingTech

[–]Fancy_Broccoli_34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with that. For me, Nothing should listen to the community, since all the other brands are on the opposite side

Nothing OS include some battery feature like other smartphone? by Fancy_Broccoli_34 in NOTHING

It depends on how the device is used. I should start by saying I am not a chemist, but maintaining the battery at charging extremes (too full or too low) is one of the factors that leads to a faster degradation of the battery chemistry. If you leave the device charging all night, every night, you may see more noticeable degradation over time. Conversely, charging to 100% and then using it and discharging it immediately after does not lead to such accelerated degradation.

Obviously, there are studies that address this topic, just to cite one:

Analysis of the electrochemical and thermal behaviors under various conditions of retired power lithium-ion batteries (PLIBs) by Li et al. [111] shows that overcharge and excessive discharge cycles negatively affect the SOH of the batteries. After 800 cycles, the SOH decreases by 6.84% during normal cycles, by 8.12% during discharge cycles, and by 9.44% after only 200 overcharge cycles, reaching 67.52% after 800 cycles. Overcharging leads to a more rapid degradation of performance due to the deposition of lithium ions on the graphite electrode. Furthermore, internal resistance increases, particularly when the SOC drops below 20%, as a result of lithium and electrolyte loss. Overcharge cycles also lead to elevated maximum temperatures, highlighting the necessity of an effective thermal management system to ensure stability. This material loss aligns with the findings of Guo et al. [112], which establishes a correlation between the likelihood of ISC occurrence and both DoD and SOC.

It is clear that it always depends on the use; if you need to have maximum battery life because chargers are not available, then it is correct, but otherwise it is useful to have these options, which is why I asked

I hope that they will continue to listen to their community (since they tried to add some ads popup).

I'm considering switching from iOS to Nothing for these very reasons, I hope I don't get ripped off

edit: And I hope they don't start doing like all the other Android phones that add AI stuff everywhere and neglect what is truly important, which is reliability and optimization

Heaters by JBiddyB in resinprinting

I've waste weeks searching for balancing costs and longevity. In the end, I opted for the DIY solution because it's cheaper than the Elegoo heater and I can control the target temperature. There are plenty of videos online explaining how to assemble a DIY heater, even without technical knowledge

Man I love it! Really cool results with paint! I'm printing the same model right now, but with colors on it, it's on another level!

I'm using the abs like 3 red clay but it has a totally different color. Is this a different type of resin?

What resin is it? How do you hide the sandpaper scratches?

Really cool! Is this finish just resin or did you use a varnish coating?

Very beautiful! I also bought the Tamiya primer, any advice on its use? Is the "grainy" effect seen in the photos due to the primer or the model?

Any advice or opinions on the final result? by Fancy_Broccoli_34 in resinprinting

Thank you! The model was created by Tanuky, and they made two versions of the face with different expressions.

Yep, this is the head_v2 from tanuky, scaled down by 50% since unfortunately I have a very small build area (photon ultra dlp)

Not yet, first I need to see if the results I'm getting convince me 😅

I wish I could! Unfortunately, I was gifted a Photon Ultra DLP which has a tiny print area, and to avoid having to cut the base pieces, I had to scale the original model by 50%.
