> or is it fine to just limit the charging to 80%

LiPo batteries will fail over time if left fully charged. If you don't need the battery it's best to keep it somewhere around 40%. If 80% is the only option, that's usually good enough.

The primary failure mode starts when the cells are charged near their maximum voltage and kept there.
