I spend 90% of my time at home so that probably won't help my battery much ๐Ÿ˜…

You probably have a charger at home, though.

Haha you got me, I do have a charger at home. I'm just not used to charging in the day, I normally charge overnight. But I guess I could charge more if needed.

To be fair, doubling the amount of charge cycles is not great for your battery. So even with a charger available one should consider whether it's worth it.
