Someone says that without initialization, smartphone batteries lose capacity

Just askin'

You're damaging the battery, fäm.

That was the case with NiMH batteries, not with Li-Ion batteries.

It's a myth from much older battery types.
Proper battery procedure matters very little nowadays.
Your phone won't last as long as the battery no matter how you treat it.

It's not a thing. Lithium batteries are absurdly complicated things that constantly recalibrate themselves.

You can do your run down recharge ceremony if it makes you feel better, just keep in mind that it's as likely to make your battery life longer as an upside down cigarette is to making you luckier.

It hasn't mattered for years. I can't even remember last time I had a battery like that.

You have it backwards.

How are they complicated
Seem simple enough to me

Read a book. Batteries are far from trivial.

My PS4 controller lasts maybe 10 minutes.

Either I'm doing something wrong or I've fucked its battery by leaving it plugged in forever.

There's a nice, long Wikipedia article that gives loads of details, I suggest you read it. The "humble" smartphone battery is really interesting, truly the a marvel of portable energy storage.

They're also explosive, which is *really* fun if you've got an old one you want to get rid of.

Lithium batteries don't like staying charged at relatively high temperatures. Some research suggests that they may lose up to a quarter of their capacity over the course of a year if stored with more than 80% charge at 25 degrees Celsius. It scales dramatically with higher temperatures.
