For some people, their mobile phone is their main device, because these days mobile phones are more and more powerful and can do all the small and medium tasks. However, one thing people still care about is charging. Inefficient battery charging can cause serious problems, while efficient charging can improve battery performance. And the main question most people ask is, will charging the battery too often damage it? Below, we will discuss all the factors related to frequent battery charging, let’s take a look!
How often should I charge my phone battery to extend battery life?
Some people think they should only charge the battery when it’s completely dead, and stop charging the battery only when it’s fully charged. This is a misconception as it does nothing to prolong the life of the battery. Batteries are designed in such a way that they use cycle counts to estimate life. A cycle count means you used to have a full charge and then drained the battery. This means that if you are not using the battery for a full charge cycle, you will extend the life of the battery.
The charging time of the battery.
The charging time of the battery depends on how many times you use the battery and how long it takes to charge the battery. Some phones can be charged in less time. However, if you charge your phone with a fast charger, it will get hot, and frequently heating the battery by charging it again and again can cause the battery to shorten its lifespan.
Is it bad to charge your phone multiple times a day?
In theory, it’s good to recharge the battery again and again without completely draining it. This increases battery life by reducing battery charge cycles. If we consider actually doing this, we can observe that frequently charging the battery creates a number of issues related to battery life and performance. Below, we will discuss some of them.
Heating problem.
When you charge the battery again and again, it will cause the battery to heat up. And when you charge the battery too often, this can cause the battery to lose its useful life.
Efficiency is reduced.
What most people do is they play power-hungry games on their phones. To do this, they either have to keep their phones plugged in, or they have to charge them again and again. The phone is already hot due to heavy processing of games or other heavy apps.
Doing so will reduce the efficiency of the call. It can have the following effects on your phone:
- The battery life will be shortened.
- The backup battery will be shortened.
- The drop in voltage and current in the battery can cause the phone to slow down.
- In the worst case, doing so will make the battery swell or even explode.
Will charging my phone to 100 damage the battery?
This is another question that most people ask. Below, we’ll explain in detail the damage this does to your phone’s battery.
Is the battery charged to 100%?
No system in the world is 100% efficient. Batteries follow this rule too, no battery on earth can be charged to full 100%.
Integrated protection circuit.
In most cell phones, there is a protection circuit that constantly disconnects the battery when it is fully charged. This is one way to keep the battery safe. But for the best battery health, it is best not to charge the battery more than 80%, because charging more than 80% requires more current to flow through the battery and it can damage the battery.
Keep the phone connected.
Most of the time, people just plug the battery in at night or when they’re idle, and only use the phone when they need it. This causes the phone to continue charging the battery. The innovation here is that the integrated protection circuit disconnects the charger from the battery.
Some phones, while not very smart, start using battery power even when the phone is connected to a charger. This causes the battery to drain by 1% or 2%, and then the charging process starts again. This can have serious adverse effects on the battery.
