1. Must You Charge Your New Phone To Full Capacity Before Using It?
Yes. If you use a Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) Battery. Fortunately, the era of NiCad is long gone. Nowadays, we use Lithium-ion based batteries which do not have “Chemical Memory” as is the case with NiCad which caused the capacity to be dependent on how it has been charged/discharged. However, it is recommended that you charge your smartphone to full capacity before using, that way you are able to determine if it has a good battery life or not after it runs down.

2. Does your battery quality deteriorate with time?

Yes, your battery deteriorates over time. Some of us get phones whose battery capacities are out of this world, and then one year down the line, we begin to wonder what we must have done wrong? Lithium-ion batteries of today are built to last a certain number of cycles. You battery has peaked a cycle when it is “fully empty”. For example, if you use eighty percent of your battery capacity in one day, then charge up to one hundred percent, and use 20 percent the next day, it is assumed that for those two days, you have fully drained the juice on your battery to qualify for a cycle.
Depending on the device, a battery would have to go between 300 and 500 cycles before they attain about 75% of their original capacity.

3. Will leaving my phone charging for a long time spoil my phone?

Yes and No. No, because your type of battery which is more likely Lithium-ion based is equally smart and is programmed to stop current inflow once it has charged to full capacity. Under normal temperature conditions, it is safe to leave your phone charging overnight. However, if you charge in a place tht is too hot, there are chances your battery might swell up or even explode!

4. The Optimum Way Of Charging Your Device?
Well a battery expert who goes by the name Shane Broesk has advised that “frequent top-ups, rather than one daily charge up, is healthier for your battery. It’s not convenient, but that’s the optimal way to charge your smartphone if you want to ensure the longest life possible.”

Thank you.

OP, thanks, especially on 3 & 4.

You guys using L9 Plus have no worries na. Let's say ur battery gets weak. That means it will drop from 5000mah to 4000mah, still a beast

I learnt about how to keep batteries on check and I had that in mind before I got my new device. Omo na to pamper my Tecno Camon CX battery.

It just in Nigeria that we pay to much attention to battery because of our epileptic power supply I always imagine if our light is 100% available I can even buy a phone if 5.5" with 1000mah battery capacity.

I just hope the chemical in all this batteries will not wipe us out one day.

Lol. God forbid bad thing. Our poor power supply is the reason why most phone makers are making phones with huge battery that will last for a long time with just a charge. Take the Tecno L9 Plus for example. 5000mah and can still charge other phones.
