Answers to this question Is power consumed from battery to run the phone when charging? explain how charging while phone is in use does both - charging the battery and powering the on going activities.
My question is different — Can I stop charging the battery but use the connected power for ongoing activities?
Why do I want to do this?
- I want to charge the battery within ideal limits (see Ideal charging / discharging percentage for maximum battery life?)
and
at the same time use the charging power to keep running the phone without any heat stress on battery, thus extending battery life.
Also the battery is not drained, enabling me to use the phone for longer time without charging
Edit : I am not looking for dedicated cables or hardware that can possibly do this
