Typically, users charge their mobile phones to 80 percent or more.

In many cases, this strategy is correct: it is better to charge your smartphone properly than to worry about it running out of battery too quickly.

But there is one situation in which charging the battery only to 50 percent is welcome.

When should you only charge your battery halfway?

It is advisable to do this if you do not plan to actively use your phone in the near future.

Are you sure that in the next couple of days you will very rarely take your gadget out of your pocket or take it from your bedside table?

Then charge the discharged battery only to 50 percent!

This approach is good because it helps to significantly reduce the load on the battery and extend its “life”.

By the way, if you plan to stop using your smartphone for a while, remove the battery completely.

But an actively used smartphone should be charged in "cycles" of 50 percent. By following this strategy, the gadget owner will be able to extend the battery life by 2 times.
