This update is meant for developers to test their apps on, but it also helps find some of the new features that are coming to OnePlus smartphones in the near future. As it turns out, OnePlus has improved its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/80-percent-battery-limit-3470858\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">80% battery charging limit<\/a> feature to give power back to the users, figuratively.<\/p>\n<p>As spotted by an unofficial <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/oneoxygenos\/2560\" target=\"_blank\">OnePlus System Apps channel<\/a> on Telegram, the latest Android 16 beta 2 for the OnePlus 13 improves the battery charging limit feature. On Oxygen OS 15, which is based on Android 15, users could merely toggle the 80% charging limit setting present at <strong>Settings &gt; Battery &gt; Battery health<\/strong>. On this new Android 16 beta 2 build (which OnePlus still labels as Oxygen OS 15 in the Settings app), users can toggle the battery charging limit and then choose the limit they want to restrict themselves to, going from 80% to 100% in 5% increments.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ch\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"OnePlus 13 Oxygen OS 15 Android 15 Battery charging limit\"  alt=\"OnePlus 13 Oxygen OS 15 Android 15 Battery charging limit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OnePlus-13-Oxygen-OS-15-Android-15-Battery-charging-limit.jpg\"\/>Oxygen OS 15 based on Android 15 on the OnePlus 13 has a simple on-off toggle for the fixed 80% charging limit<img class=\"e_Ch\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"OnePlus 13 Oxygen OS 15 Android 16 Battery charging limit (2)\"  alt=\"OnePlus 13 Oxygen OS 15 Android 16 Battery charging limit (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OnePlus-13-Oxygen-OS-15-Android-16-Battery-charging-limit-2.jpg\"\/>Android 16 beta 2 on the OnePlus 13 has a deceptive on-off toggle, which lets you change the limit after toggling on<img class=\"e_Ch\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"OnePlus 13 Oxygen OS 15 Android 16 Battery charging limit (1)\"  alt=\"OnePlus 13 Oxygen OS 15 Android 16 Battery charging limit (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OnePlus-13-Oxygen-OS-15-Android-16-Battery-charging-limit-1.jpg\"\/>The available limits after toggling on the charging limit feature<\/p>\n<p>Setting the charging limit to 100% doesn\u2019t make much sense since the phone should be capping at that percentage anyway. Still, I am glad that users have four levels at which they can stop to strike the right balance between battery life and battery longevity.<\/p>\n<p>For some users, an 80% charging limit would feel too restrictive in the present if they don\u2019t plan to use their phone for years and years or they have budgeted for a battery swap already. I have chosen 95% as the cap on my OnePlus 13, giving me the balance I need for my usage and my present and future needs.<\/p>\n<p>Do you follow the 80% rule for battery charging?<\/p>\n<p>12118 votes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
