Charging your phone to 100% can be bad for the battery’s health. Here’s why:
1. *Lithium-ion batteries:* Most smartphones use lithium-ion batteries, which don’t like being fully charged or fully discharged. When you charge your phone to 100%, the battery is fully charged, and this can cause wear and tear.
2. *High voltage stress:* Charging your phone to 100% causes high voltage stress, which can damage the battery’s chemistry. This stress can lead to a reduction in the battery’s capacity and overall lifespan.
3. *Heat generation:* When you charge your phone to 100%, it generates more heat. High temperatures can accelerate chemical reactions within the battery, causing degradation and reducing its lifespan.
4. *Cycle life:*
