In recent years, maybe even a decade, we have added something new to the usual daily tasks. One of them is definitely charging your smartphone. Sometimes it happens that when the battery level drops below 10 %, we drop everything and run for the charger.
Probably, as with other routine tasks, we didn't think about the possibility of doing something wrong when charging the phone, right? How could you wrong charge your phone? Cadex, a battery manufacturer, has some advice for us.
- Lithium-ion batteries do not need or it is not even recommended to fill them up to 100 %. High voltage damages the battery. Charging overnight, then not recommended.
- Another piece of advice is to use instead walls electrical sockets and not laptops or other electronic devices.
- Also switch to airplane mode can help as charging is then 2 times more efficiently. But if you don't want to do that, the phone while charging as little as possible use.
Therefore, pull your 'beast' from the electrical network as soon as it fills up.
