The remaining battery level is determined by the voltage available at the current consumption

Gets all condescending about how it works

Isn’t aware of the difference between V and mAh or the extremely horizontal (for most of the range) curve defining the relationship between them for Li-ion batteries

I got irritated enough by people spouting off at me to look up how it actually works, it’s not at all how you are describing, although describing it as “bullshit” is probably a stretch

So naw big bro

But Phil, the difference between V and mAh is just current draw

You misspelled “resistance and time,” but close. The “A” part is the current.

the flat voltage curve is only really a problem for LFP which is not really used in smartphones due to low energy density
