Cell phones have become an integral part of our daily lives, and keeping their batteries charged is paramount to staying connected throughout the day and night. While charging a cell phone battery is as easy as plugging the phone into an outlet via the charger, there are common mistakes that people make when charging their phones that lead to damaged batteries, or worse yet, dead batteries that prompt the purchase an entirely new phone.
To avoid the common mistakes of cell phone charging, consider the following tips:
- Charge your phone in spurts throughout the day – This is better than only charging your phone when the battery is almost dead, for example, charging only once through the night.
- Don’t charge to 100 percent – High voltage can place stress on your cell phone battery. It’s better to take your phone off the charger before it hits 100 percent.
- Don’t keep your phone plugged into a charger when it’s at 100 percent – This also puts stress on your battery which can cause the battery to wear down.
- Don’t let your battery get too hot or too cold – Charge your phone in a place with a comfortable temperature. If your phone gets too warm while you’re charging it, unplug it from the charger.
- Don’t let your phone get down to zero percent – The best place to start charging is at about 40 percent.
- One other tip to keep in mind – this advice applies to all products that use lithium batteries like tablets, laptops, and cordless power tools.
