#Charging tips#
1) Use original charger and cable all time. If you want third part one. Look for reliable manufacturer such as Anker.
2) Don't charge when it got below 20% or shut down. Also try not to charge all way to 100% According to battery university best charging present should stay between 40%-90%. And yes you can charge your phone overnights -android authority will answer why.
3) Battery life expectancy is about 16 months and try to get battery replacement after year uses. Try to use heat resistance case (official Google fiber case work best) and try to remove it when you charge your phone. Our battery don't like heat :)

Good luck for better battery.

I agree with 'codesplice'. And, I can also say from experience (having traded in a Pixel 2 for a Pixel 2XL) that there is a distinct difference in the battery life of both phones! The XL will last the day+, whereas the Pixel 2 I had to keep the charger with me & use it all too often...
Sorry Google, am a big fan of the XL, but not so much the other.
