Wang Chenglu, President of Huawei Consumer BG Software Department, has introduced a new feature in EMUI for select Honor and Huawei smartphones — Smart Charging Mode which is meant to protect battery health of the device.
The company’s executive says that smartphones are powered by lithium batteries and have varying degrees of ageing and battery capacity degradation. If it is used improperly, the battery ageing process can be accelerated.
He claims this as a reason for launching this new feature in EMUI called Smart Charging Mode which effectively deduces the battery ageing and extends the battery life through reasonable management and usage.
What the feature does is that it learns the user’s charging habits through the built-in AI in the device and then slows down the battery charging as it reaches 100 percent, effectively preventing the battery from being idle at fully charged state for a longer time.

The Smart Charging Mode will stop the charging of the smartphone after it reaches 80 percent to protect the battery from ageing during overnight charging. So, if you need to charge the device beyond that, simply turn off the feature from the settings and once the device is fully charged, you can turn the feature on again.
Once you get this new EMUI feature, you can easily manage it by going to Settings > Battery > More battery settings > Smart charging mode. Currently, the feature is being made available in Huawei Mate 30 and Honor V30 series and could be rolled out to other devices in the near future.
