How do we usually charge our smartphone: someone up to 100%, someone only up to 80%, and still someone else a little during the day. But which method is correct and has less negative impact on smartphone battery life?
Unpleasant facts
1. If you’re charging your smartphone right now, you’re slowly running out of battery life.
2. If you’re not charging your smartphone right now, but you’re using it, you’re still running out of battery life anyway.
3. You are slowly running out of battery life even if you turn it off without using your smartphone.
How to detect a "expiring" smartphone battery?
Modern batteries are not perfect, each charge-discharge cycle inevitably leads to changes in the battery and, over time, a decrease in battery capacity and its failure.
For example, batteries in modern smartphones lose an average of 500% of their capacity after 20 full charges / discharges, which is about 1,5-2 years of service life.
However, the number of operating cycles can be increased from 500 to 1000 or more, which affects the rate of battery life.
How to properly charge your smartphone?
- 0 to 100% - not the best option. When the battery is fully charged, its failure will accelerate and the risk of overheating will increase. All this shortens the battery life. Therefore, electric cars are always charged to only 80%. This will then extend the battery life.
For this reason, the most commonly used method of charging smartphones: charging from 0 to 100% is not the most optimal.
- 20 and 80% each
Charging from 20 to 80% is more acceptable than the 0 to 100% method. This mode of operation has less negative impact on battery life and can be enjoyed by many.
If 80% of the battery is enough for you during the day, you can use this mode. Apps like Accu Battery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery) help keep track of charging. However, this method is also not the best.
"Little by little."
If you want to extend the life of the battery even more, always charge it slowly at 50-70% capacity during the day. Wireless charging devices (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/921) are very suitable for this method and it is also convenient. But the efficiency of the modern wireless charging standard is only 60%, the rest of the energy goes to heat.
