Charging your phone from 0% to 100% regularly can indeed have an impact on your battery’s long-term health, but it’s important to clarify that modern smartphones are designed to handle this to some extent…CONTINUE READING>>> ...CONTINUE READING
Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in phones, have a finite number of charge cycles before their capacity diminishes. Each charge cycle involves going from 0% to 100%, and these cycles add up over time.
To extend your battery’s lifespan, you can follow these practices:
Charge between 20-80%: Charging your phone between 20% and 80% is considered an optimal range. This reduces the stress on the battery and can prolong its life.
Avoid deep discharges: Try not to let your phone battery drop to 0% frequently. Occasional full discharges followed by a full charge (calibration) can be beneficial, but not daily.
Use slow charging: Using a lower wattage charger or a slow-charging mode can reduce heat generated during charging, which can be damaging to the battery.
Keep your phone cool: High temperatures can accelerate battery degradation, so avoid leaving your phone in hot environments or direct sunlight while charging.
Unplug when full: Once your phone reaches 80-90%, unplug it if you don’t need a full charge. Most phones have optimized charging features to prevent overcharging.
While these practices can help prolong your battery’s life, it’s also important to note that smartphone batteries are consumable components, and their capacity will naturally decrease over time, regardless of how you charge them. Thus, striking a balance between convenience and battery health is essential for maximizing your phone’s lifespan…CONTINUE READING>>>
