Your smartphone battery is an essential part of your daily life, but charging it is often poorly managed. Many people wait until their phone is almost flat before plugging it in, a habit that can significantly reduce its lifespan.
So when and how should you really charge your phone to avoid premature wear and tear? Here are the essential tips you need to know.
When should you charge your phone?
There are many misconceptions about the right time to charge your smartphone. Unlike older batteries, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries used today do not need to be completely discharged before recharging.
What to do :
- Do not wait for the battery to drop below 5% , as deep discharges can damage the battery cells and complicate future recharges.
- Plugging the phone in between 20% and 80% is the best range to extend its life.
- Unplug before reaching 100% , because although modern smartphones automatically stop charging, keeping the battery at full capacity for long periods of time can accelerate its aging.
