Hello there! So this battery protect feature stops your charging at 85% right? That's because according to various studies, Lithium Ion batteries tends to lose its charge as time passes by, and by limiting the charge from a certain level below it's full capacity, it shows that the battery lifespan will be prolonged, compared to when it's charged fully. Emptying your battery always, according to some studies, may also be detrimental to these Lithium Ion batteries, so it's optimal to charge your phone somewhere between 20%-90% if you plan on keeping your device in the long run. I hope this helps and enlightens you even just for a little bit!

Got it! Thank you!

Also, is there any effect if I cannot charge my phone until 85% because I lack time to charge like until 75-80% only?

Not really, charge your device as long as you need to, specially if battery protect is on. Top it up, as long as needed.
