No, overnight charging does not kill your smartphone
Hello friends, Welcome to my Viral Blog. You may have trouble with your phone's battery and sometimes it happens that you leave your phone to charge all night.Battery is one of the, no wait, it is the essential part of any phone. Battery is like the heart that pumps life to the system. A prescribed amount of charging keeps your battery going but what happens when you leave it overnight on charging?
1. No, overcharging your phone will not kill your battery but better to avoid it
There's a reason why smartphones are called 'smart phones.' Among many other reasons, one is that it knows when the battery has been charged to 100 per cent and shuns it from charging further. There is an integrated chip that stops overcharging of your phone.
So what happens when you leave your phone in charging overnight? The battery is charged to 100 per cent every time it hits 99 per cent. This can heat up your phone which reduces the lifespan of your phone. So it is advisable to stop overcharging your phone.
2. You don't freeze your phone battery, never
A report from Batteryuniversity states that lithium-ion batteries cannot be charged below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Repeated charging of phone under freezing temperature can cause plating of metallic lithium on the anode. This plating becomes permanent and cannot be removed. This will also decrease the life of the battery.
There's a popular myth that you should charge your phone only when it is fully drained off. But very few of us know that that actually kills your phone's battery. Lithium-ion batteries don't wear out faster if they are drained to 0 per cent. It is advisable to plug your phone in charging when it shows 30 to 40 per cent.
4. You have a mobile with 3000+mahpower and you have a weak charger. Therefore, you charge your phone overnight. If this is the case then let me tell you, there's no harm in charging your phone like this. As the output of your charger is less, it will take more time to charge your phone.
5. You have a good charger but you have no time to charge your mobile in your day to day schedule.
Some tips to maintain healthy battery life are:
- Never use your device while it is charging. You must have observed that while doing so your smartphone heats up which hampers the battery life.
- Never put your smartphone under direct sunlight (again because of temperature issues).
- Always keeping your battery below 100% (like say 90) will have negligible effects on increasing battery lifespan (and by then you will have replaced your phone long ago).
