How often should you charge your phone? Mistakes that are damaging your battery without you realizing it

At a time when the phone has become an inseparable part of our lives, many of us continue to make small mistakes that damage the battery in the long run.

Experts recommend that you don't always charge your phone from 0% to 100%, but rather keep it between 20%-80% for longer battery life.

The most common mistakes that damage the battery:

•Keeping the phone connected all night

•Using non-original chargers

•Exposure to high temperatures during charging

•Keeping thick covers that heat up the device

Another myth that is being debunked is the idea that your phone needs to be “fully discharged every now and then” – this was true for older batteries, but not for today’s lithium-ions.

Should you charge your phone overnight?
If your phone is a smartphone (and most are), it stops charging once it reaches 100%. But leaving it at that level for extended periods of time, every night, for months on end, can affect the long-term life of your battery.
