Help/Support Disable charging when connected to PC

[0xygen 396.1k iPad Mini 4 13.6]

Hello folks,

I have a small issue on hand and would ask this beautiful community for some help (totally sarcasm)

So it is obvious when you connect your iDevice to your computer, it starts charging automatically so I wanted to know if I could disable the charging when connected because I use my iDevice for a very long time connected and it charges nonstop which might damage the battery.

Any help is appreciated

Are you on PC or Mac? Without the right  drivers installed it won't charge. But then it won't communicate properly either I imagine.

Everything I've read says "there's no way to disable charging" and "your battery will be fine, you only need to unplug it once a week if that."

I wouldn't worry too much about it being at 100% for too many hours.

You could try downgrading/disabling USB 3.0 to 2.0 Possibly even 1.0, we used to be able to do this in the UEFI BIOS under "Miscellaneous devices/USB Debug". 

This would revert all 3.0 USB Ports to 2.0, using older USB Ports would not provide enough power to charge the device.

Unfortunately, there's no way of doing that, sorry.
