The Best Way To Charge Our Mobile Phones

According to Science Experts.

We all know that our smartphone batteries are bad as they hardly last a day. But it is partially our fault because we are charging them the wrong way whole time.

Most of us (including me) have a belief that charging our smartphones in small bursts will result in some long-term damage to their batteries and that it is better to charge the mobile when they are below 5%.

But we just couldn’t be more wrong. As a matter of fact, a site from battery company Cadex named Battery University shows how the lithium-ion batteries in our smartphones are very sensitive to their own versions of ‘tiredness’. And, like us humans, extended stress could damage our smartphone battery’s lifespan.

If you want to keep your mobile battery in top condition and get a full day charge without worrying about charging, then you have to change a few things.

Do not keep it plugged in when it’s fully charged

According to the Battery University, leaving your phone plugged in when it is fully charged just like we might leave it overnight, is very bad for the battery in long run.

Once your phone reached 100 percent charge, it will get ‘trickle charges’ to keep itself at 100 percent while it is plugged in. This keeps the battery in a very high-stress and high-tension state, this wears down the chemistry within it.

The Battery University gives a bunch of scientific detail and explanation to this, but it sums it up nicely: “When fully charged remove the battery” from the charging device. “This is just like relaxing the muscles after exercise.” You would be in a pretty miserable state if you worked out nonstop for hours and hours.

Don’t charge battery from zero to 100%

The rule with Li-ion batteries is to keep them 50% or more most of the time. When it drops below 50% top it up a little if you can. A little a few times a day seems to be the optimum to aim for when charging.

But don’t charge it all the way to 100%. It won’t be fatal to your battery if you do a full recharge most of us are forced to do this every now and again in emergencies. But constantly doing a full recharge will shorten the battery’s lifespan.

So a good range to aim for when charging a Li-ion battery is from about 40% to 80% in one go. Try not to let the battery drop below 20%. As it turns out that the batteries in our smartphones are much better if we charge them occasionally throughout the day instead of just plugging them in for a large charging session when they are empty. Charging our phone when it loses a 10 percent of charge would be the best case scenario, according to the Battery University. So, it is fine to plug in and unplug multiple times a day.

This keeps your smartphone battery to perform optimally for longer time, and it also keeps it topped up throughout the day.

Quick recap

You can leave your phone plugged into the charger overnight without too much risk, provided it’s not a counterfeit charger, and you don’t let your phone overheat. For best results with your smartphone charging, here’s what to remember:

Always use official chargers and cables, or certified alternatives from reputable brands and retailers.
Don’t let your phone get too hot. Remove the case when charging overnight.
For the longest battery life possible, try to keep your battery between 50 and 80 percent.
Avoid letting phone battery completely discharge, and don’t charge it from 0 percent up to 100 percent too often
