@tosd it's best to start charging when you're at 10-20%
Worst is when you use it while charging it.

Not saying your method of only charging at 10-20% is better than those that say to always keep it topped up. It's just there are so many different opinions out there regarding battery charging lol. Not sure which is better than the other!
If you use it while being plugged in so that it is always near 100%, does that not add towards your battery cycle? If so that means it would be better to have it plugged in whenever possible since it would slow down battery cycle, prolonging battery life? Or am I completely wrong on that.
