Is there a possibility to stop the charging of a Bangle.js 2?

To increase the lifespan of a Li-Ion battery it should not be charged to 100% - I'm searching for a software controlled method to stop the charging process. This may only be possible if the charging circuit is inside the nRF SoC.
A more difficult way would be to stop the charging with a "Bluetooth Relay Module".

No, there's no way to stop charging by software as far as I'm aware...

If you want to maximise battery life, then there are a few parameters: age, cycle count, charge level and temperature. You can't do anything about age and max charge level. Temperature in the watch should already be below 40C at all times (one would hope, being on your wrist!)

The best thing to do is to not put the watch on the charger every night, but only when the level is low. That'll remove long periods of the battery being at 100% charge. Since the watch lasts for weeks before needing a charge, even a battery that loses 20% after only 200 cycles (a extremely conservative estimate) should still be good for years.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
