Many users always charge their phones “to the max” – up to 100 percent.

Such people are absolutely confident in the correctness of the chosen tactics.

In fact, it is better not to charge your smartphone completely.

Always leave 10-20 percent "unfilled".

This approach will contribute to the longevity of the battery.

How to properly charge your smartphone

Have you connected a charger to a dead gadget?

Do not wait until the battery level is full.

Disconnect the charger well before it reaches 100 percent.

It is advisable to stop the process of replenishing the battery charge level when the indicator reaches 80-90 percent.

This strategy helps to save charge cycles and significantly reduce the load on the battery.

In other words, charging “not all the way” is a surefire way to “extend the life” of the battery.

For the same reason, avoid charging your smartphone overnight, despite all the benefits of this approach: charge your phone when you can monitor the battery level.
