Galaxy S22Just how did this obnoxious wisdom take over?
Anyway, one thing you'll want to note is what it says about fast charging.
NOT ALL FAST CHARGING WORKS THE SAME WAY
And it should. The USB-C standard defines how it should work and work safely. But phone manufacturers sometimes have their own ideas. Samsung is good about it, but they also don't tell you what their "Fast Charging 2.0" actually does.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#USB_Power_Delivery
As far as I can tell, your S22 definitely supports PPS. AVS and EPR are also very likely. What that means is the advice about voltages is also slightly out of date (not wrong), because the phone is already applying that best practice before you knew it existed. You do need to make sure that your cable and adapter support USB 3.2. Not all cables are made equally

Galaxy S22The downside of going thru all the steps of protecting the battery like limiting yourself to 85% charge is that in the end you never got to enjoy the battery when it was 100%. Battery replacements isn't even all that much or even that hard to do if you really wanted to do so as well.

Galaxy S22Thanks to all for the insightful input. I tend to agree all around, believe it or not. @Idonthaveaname gave good information on why the 85% limit actually does provide a benefit for modern devices and their batteries and I am now convinced that doing so will extend the battery life. I agree with @PaperStation that artificially restraining the device in pursuit of improved spec performance elsewhere can defeat the purpose of having a flagship in the first place, and like @SuperOvni I have never run into personal difficulties despiute a somewhat cavalier charging routine. For my needs, I'll try the Battery Protection for a while since I realistically believe it won't crimp my style, but if it does (if I find myself fretting about needing to top off too frequently), I'll revert to full charging trusting the technology baked into my S22, Samsung 25W charger, and Anker C-to-C cable (longer than the one that came with the phone) to do the charging properly without significant damage to the battery. Thanks to all for your contributions to this discussion.

Galaxy S22Just seemed worth mentioning that it might be good try 85% max, to see if you actually need more charging. I'm amazed and delighted at the battery life in my S22-U. Even at 85% max charge, I'm finding it isn't anywhere near needing a charge before I go to bed at night, and I think of myself as a pretty heavy user. (OTOH, I never watch movies, etc. on my phone, so YEMV.) I also find it comforting that someday, when my battery is getting old, I can switch then to 100% max charge, to have a little more in the tank until I get around to changing the battery.
