Ok. Thanks. I think my Fire tablet warns me at 15%, and I usually plugnit in them, but few times, I have plugged it in at 40-50%. I don't unplug it until I use it though.

It also fast charges to 80% and then slow charges until I remove it from the charger.

Ok, so I am doing better than I thought. So, I assume this applies to cell phones, tablets, laptops, Garmin, and other electronics?
Too bad the devices don't all have the workarounds.
