Many phone users tend to complain that their device’s batteries discharge quickly. They also typically blame the product manufacturer for this issue; however the manufacturer isn’t always at fault. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 mistakes that users typically make when charging their phones.

Waiting for the Battery to Reach Low Levels Before Charging

Avoid waiting for your battery to reach a critically low level before charging. The effect of this on your phone battery is not immediate, but over time it begins to manifest and it eventually stresses out your phone battery (yes, batteries get stressed too) and shortens the battery life. Think of your battery as a human body, you really don’t need to wait until you’re about to die before you rest and eat to recharge yourself.

Keeping Your Phone Case on While Charging

Your phone typically emits heat when charging. To avoid exposing your device to ambient temperatures, it’s advisable to remove the phone case while charging your phone so that the heat emitted from your phone while charging can escape. This way you can prevent your device from becoming hotter and potentially overheating when charging. Charging your battery at uncomfortable temperatures can permanently damage battery capacity.

Charging Your Phone in the Wrong Places

You should mind where you charge your phone, because not doing so can negatively affect your battery capacity. Phones have a temperature range they can function normally and charging your phone in a hot area can raise the temperature and stress the battery out. Also, charging your phone in especially low temperature areas, like in front of an air conditioner, can also cause problems for your battery that will eventually affect its optimum performance.

Charging Your Phone Overnight

The least you’ll sleep throughout the night is most likely going to be between 5 to 8 hours, your smartphone battery typically only needs 2 to 3 hours to fully charge. Charging your phone overnight, constantly stresses your phone battery each night. Sooner than later, your phone is likely to have battery problems. In addition, the temperature rises when the battery is overcharged, so apart from shortening battery life, it can also threaten user’s safety in the event it quickly heats up and explodes. It’s better to charge your phone before you sleep and switch it off while sleeping to preserve the battery till the next day.

Plugging Whatever Charger Fits

This especially applies to smartphones. Most smartphones use a micro USB for its chargers and for this reasons most people tend to switch and swap chargers since it fits into and works on their phones. However, this is not appropriate and in the long run it can negatively affect your phone battery. The fact that most smartphones have the same micro USB doesn’t mean all chargers and phones are compatible. Some chargers function differently and that difference can be detrimental to your device if care is not taken.

charging a phone over night has no negative effect on the battery. the phone stops charging the battery once the battery is full

Good job op

I charge my phone anytime i like.. I dont care how many percent. I leave it on charge till morning... We should stop treating mobile phones as if they are made of gold.

Op u failed to consider that we don't have steady light

Hmm

Another blogger will come and tell us all these are just MYTH, ayam not understanding anymore...

Point 4 is confusing now because I think some tech guru said the battery will stop receiving power when the level reach 100% because there is a technological component in the phone stop the charge.


I don't know which one to believe again o

"Plugging whatever charger that fits" is the most common and neglected cause of phone battery issues.

One thing I understand about battery is that I will still get weaker and spoil even if u follow these means.

Someone posted one tune like that, that there's nothing wrong with charging our phone overnight

jejemanito:
Never allow your battery to go below 40% and it's best not to charge it above 80%

It's called the 80-40 rule in the tech world
