 You May Be Making These Grave Mistakes While Charging Your Phone

You’d never know it, but the way you charge your phone can be crucial for not only your electricity bills and safety but also the lifespan of its battery .

Here are some grave mistakes you may be making while charging your phone and tips about the right way to do it so as to avoid any dangers.

1. You always leave your charger in the socket

This releases heat that can slowly accumulate and cause something nearby to catch fire, or if the air in the room is humid enough, it can short-circuit the transformer causing a fire. If you are not using it, always unplug the charger from the socket.

2. You charge the battery to 100%

If you charge the battery of your phone to 100% every time, this will shorten its lifespan. This is because every battery has a precise number of charge cycles and if you always charge it to 100%, these cycles will end sooner.

The general rule would be to recharge the battery fully once a month and keep it between 20% and 80% at all other times.

3. You let the battery fully die before charging it again

It’s not good to let the battery go to 0% either. The newest lithium-based batteries work in charge cycles. So if you let the battery die, you will destroy your device’s longevity step by step.

4. You leave your phone to charge overnight

If you leave your phone to charge all night long, you will waste electricity and you will charge the battery more than necessary. This will also spoil the charging cycles of the battery.

5. You use the phone while it’s charging

You should not keep draining your phone’s battery while trying to charge it. This leads to the overstressing of the battery, which is now trying to do 2 things at once, and it affects the battery life of your phone.
