Keeping Your Phone At Full Charge Actually Stresses It Out

#1 It Turns Out That Leaving Your Phone On The Charger Is Not Good For It

Keeping a phone charged at 100% causes it to "trickle charge." This keeps the phone in a "high-tension" state that wears out the battery faster. 

 

#2 Giving Your Phone A Full Charge Actually Isn't A Great Idea Either...

The Voltage needed to bring a phone to 100% stresses the battery out a lot, too. Who knew?

 

#3 What Should You Do Instead?

It turns out that the behavior we thought was bad practice, is actually good for the phone's health. 

 

#4 Basically, Plug Your Phone In Whenever You Get The Chance

It's recommended that you plug your phone in after it loses about 10% of it's charge; but that's not really ideal for most of us. 

 

#5 Don't Worry About Plugging And Unplugging Your Phone Onto The Charger

This method is "healthier" than waiting until your battery is close to dying.

 

#6 Also, Make Sure Your Phone Doesn't Get Too Hot!

Remember to keep your phone out of direct sunlight. If you notice your phone getting hot while it's charging, make sure to take it out of its case.
