Many of us remember when we were told that a phone needed to be fully charged before using the first time. There was also a time when we were told to let our phones almost drain to zero before charging to improve the life of the battery. Are those things still recommended?
Should I let my cellphone get to almost 0% before charging? No. Today's lithium-ion batteries are safe to charge no matter the amount of battery power left.
Is it safe to leave a cellphone plugged in even after it is fully charged? Yes.
Can I overcharge my cellphone? No.
Other tips for charging your phone:
- Always use the charging cable that came with your phone (or a cable approved by the manufacturer of your phone.)
- You can use your phone while charging.
- Your phone can be charged using your computer or laptop. It will be slower but actually puts less stress on the battery in your phone.
- Your phone charges faster when it is turned off.
- If you find your cellphone low on battery power without a way to charge it, you can save power by turning off Bluetooth, dimming your screen, or turning on Airplane Mode.
So, charge your phone then get outside and enjoy this beautiful new day!
