Google confirmed: in the Pixel 10 smartphones, the Battle Health Assistance function is included, and it cannot be disconnected. Previously, she first appeared in Pixel 9A, and in old models she remained an option.
The function slows down the charge rate and gradually reduces the maximum battery voltage after approximately 200 full charging cycles. The process lasts up to 1,000 cycles. According to Google, this helps to maintain the battery performance longer.
In practice, Pixel 10 users will notice that the phones will be charged more slowly, and the battery life will be reduced over time. The company emphasizes: such changes are planned and designed to extend the service life of the battery.
Google claims that starting with the Pixel 8A batteries withstand about 1,000 cycles before their capacity drops to 80% of the original. However, due to the Battle Health Assistance, the actual capacity decreases even faster, users complain.
