If it's considered proper to charge a cellphone only to 80%, what about
other devices that use batteries.  Today I got a rechargeable bluetooth
speaker to use with my cellpphone, and the instructions say to charge
it, until the red light turns blue.  Isn't that 100%, not 80%.  Am i
damaging the speaker battery by charging it until the liught turns blue?
For that matter, what about people who leave their phone plugged into
the charger or sitting on the wireless charger all night?   Doesn't it
go to 100% and sit there, still charging even after it's reached 100%.

It depends on the battery technology. Charge your boom-box until full.
The charging electronics of branded products stop charging at 100% which
is below the technically possible 100%.
