Battery protection features

On Galaxy models with One UI 6.1 or later, there are three battery protection features: Basic, Adaptive, and Maximum.

Basic: When your battery is charged to 100%, charging will stop until the battery level drops down to 95% and then charging will start again.
Adaptive: Use Maximum while you’re asleep and switch to Basic before you wake up. Sleep time is estimated based on your phone usage patterns.
Maximum: Your battery will stop charging when it reaches 80%.
