    I have a Pixel 4a. I root with Magisk and run the Advanced Charging Controller (ACC) module to stop charging at 80%. Then for convenience I run the ACCA frontend app in the rare case I want to disable that.

    Then like others I run AccuBattery for stats, and uninstall/replace apps that use a disproportionate amount of power.

    I try to keep the charge level in the 20-80% ideal range. I should use a slow charger too but honestly I usually can’t be bothered to swap it since I tend to use the same charger for multiple devices (a nice one that does a variety of voltage and amperage outputs).

    This strategy has gotten me a lot of life out of devices, but at this point with my 4a I still generally leave Android’s battery saver mode turned on too.

      A note for people wanting to use ACCA (GUI frontend for ACC), ACCA isn’t being maintained (the ACC guys will tell you not to use it, but still can). Make sure to install ACC manually first to get the latest version, as the app downloads a version from 2021 if you don’t and this can cause issues.
      After that, the app works fine for basic use.
