how true is it that, you need to charge new batteries or new phones for 10hrs or 15hrs before use else your cellphone battery is not going to last long?

Phone gurus, over to you!

lies

Hmmmnnn

Because the phone is half charged at the point of purchase..

two comments and FP

I don't know y

Cos d dormant battery cells nid to be recycled again b4 first use

The first charge usually is to ensure that the full capacitive charge of the battery is realised in tandem with the voltage and resistance of the phone requirements. Like if you liked my explanation because honestly I don't know what I'm saying sef.

no reason

Because it is a normal thing

If you don't know, why comment

Because First impressions matter

Same reason why a girl's Congo has to be shined properly at the first opportunity in order to put her respect and bed-credibility towards you in an optimum situation .... one thing with bed-reputation with a girl is that once not confirmed at the 1st 'charging session', a 2nd chance is hardly ever given to salvage the situation

So......Just like after confirming your bed-reputation to a girl at the first 'charging session', you can afford not to charge her properly a FEW times among subsequent charges..... same applies to phones. .. charge it full d 1st time in order to unleash the dragon in the battery .... after that, you can afford to be a bit more carefree

Op that is a myth now, but was once valid when mobile phone batteries were made of alkaline. For lithium ion batteries now that law doesn't hold water anymore.


Besides basic reasoning should tell you that most phones would charge completely in at most 3hours, and your phone will clearly ask you to unplug. So where does the 8 or 14 hour charge go to

U self..

Thing is batteries have a life span (whether car batteries,phone whatever) and after exhausting it,replacement becomes imminent. I never believe in that theory of charging full at first.
My opinion

Honestly i don't know but its wierd

Do they really?

or it's one of the myths Nigerians believe?




abeg, Nigerians stop applying myths to tech or any electronic device and start applying The Most Comprehensive Guide To Buy Your Next Smartphone http://www.legitstuffs.com/2015/11/features-to-watchout-for-when-buying-smartphone.html

In order to re-activate the cells of the battery since they have not been charged in a long while or probably since manufacture.

It is infact important to switch off the battery during this first charge so it can charge to full capacity

a tradition

Forget the hours, the important fact there is charge a new battery until is shows fully charged then you can use.
It is not advisable to leave your phone on charge when the battery is full as it kills the cells.

Do not allow anyone to tell you how many hours you have to charge, your new battery could be eliminated, annihilated
or even assassinated.

Just charged until it is full

It's just a ritual


Not really necessary

any phone that enter naija weather is highly proportional to the equilibrium of mass density with no imperial balance. n.b don't ask me what I wrote coz sleep still de my eyes

It is for you to realize the full strength of the battery. Otherwise, you will be having battery related problems. It is also the same with rechargeable items like radio, torch, fan etc.

All is fallacy. There is no time you recharge your phone battery to full capacity that it won't work.

If its not written in the phone manual, then its a lie

To decrease their aging they are intended to be stored at 40% charge. This means when you receive your phone it should be at 40% charge, otherwise they will have aged your battery for you. (you are probably used to the effects of aging, like a 2 year old phone seeming to have very short battery life). When you get your phone you can use it until it is discharged, but they normally say 'charge it' because people will not notice the partial charge.

If u ask me. .... in fact,




End time question.
