What percentage is best to charge the phone battery to avoid damaging the battery?
In the process of using mobile phones every day, we often encounter the problem of the mobile phone battery being consumed faster than before, having to charge it more often.
In addition to problems that may occur due to battery quality and phone usage habits, the charging method also has a significant impact on the battery life of the phone.
Incorrect charging methods can damage the battery, leading to reduced battery performance or, more seriously, fire or explosion.
What percentage is best to charge the battery?
Modern smartphones mainly use lithium-ion batteries as a power source. The advantages of this type of battery are high energy density and low self-discharge rate.
However, lithium-ion batteries when overcharged, over-discharged, or charged in high temperature environments can negatively affect the performance and life of the battery.
Therefore, you should avoid charging your phone battery to 100%, especially in high temperature environments. Regularly unplugging/plugging in the charger, intermittent charging will be better for the phone battery, not charging it completely will be more beneficial for the battery.
According to experts, you should only charge to 50%-80% is the most reasonable.
Mistakes when charging the battery
First, the habit of using non-genuine chargers that are not compatible with the device. You should avoid using non-genuine chargers and cables.
Mobile phone manufacturers will provide genuine charging devices because these devices can provide voltage and current suitable for the battery, thereby protecting the battery from damage.
Using different charging devices can cause the phone to charge too long and affect battery life.
Second, the habit of charging the phone all night. Many people use their phones before going to bed and when the battery is low, they often plug in the charger to charge overnight and unplug it the next morning.
Although the smartphone battery will automatically turn off after being fully charged, such frequent charging and power-off operations can still cause major damage to the mobile phone battery.
Third, using the phone while charging. Most people have the habit of charging and using the phone at the same time. However, this behavior causes great damage to the phone battery.
When you use the phone while charging, a lot of heat will be generated because the battery needs to provide power to the phone, too high a temperature can damage the internal structure of the battery and reduce the battery life.
In addition, high temperatures can also slow down the chemical reaction rate of the battery, leading to a reduction in the battery’s ability to store energy, and can even damage the phone, causing it to explode.
How to deal with a hot phone and a fast battery drain?
1. Reduce screen brightness
Leaving the phone screen too bright is not only harmful to the eyes but also causes the phone to heat up and drain the battery quickly. Therefore, reduce the screen brightness to a moderate level.
2. Turn off all unnecessary background applications
Background applications are one of the main causes of your phone getting hot and draining the battery quickly.
