Charging your smartphone overnight has become so popular among us, it is now becoming an habit possessed by many smartphone users today. Though we might have heard people saying that “it is a bad habit” as it can cause slow damages and drop down capacity to your smartphone’s battery. Yet, undermining that we've been adviced not to do so, we still plug in our smartphones overnight.


In countries where electricity is at its low esteem  it becomes a challenge to smartphone users in that specific area.

It is not that possible for you to keep a watch at your smartphone while charging at night, thereby having a sleepless night just in the name of charging your smartphone. But most of us will prefer charging our smartphones overnight while we go to bed, hoping to wake up and see 100% smiling at you from your smartphone’s bar.


But despite from what we've heard so far, is it actually right to Charge your smartphone

overnight?


What if i say Yes it is actually right to do so? Will you be surprised to know it's right?

Read through this post carefully and get the answers to those questions above.


BATTERY TYPE

What type of battery does your smartphone users for its daily operation?

There are actually two major types of battery,  which are;

The Lithium ion and Nickel-based batteries.

But the most used battery type of nowadays is the Lithium ion battery.

The Nickel-based battery has since been extinct since the early 2000s.


But what is the major difference between these two batteries?

The Nickel-based battery exhibits a Cyclic memory, and when it is not fully charged, it might forget its normal holding capacity and remember the last point to which it was recently charged, thereby taking that point as its peak (highest) capacity.


But in the case of Lithium ion batteries, the reverse is the case. Compared to Nickel-based battery, Lithium ion batteries are often of better lifespan and are durable and they are easily recharged rapidly with speed. But see what doesn't support the health of Lithium batteries.


HEAT

Abnormal increase in temperature are non-friendly to Lithium ion and Lithium Polymer (another type of lithium battey) batteries.

The temperature at which a battery is capable of receiving charges is between 32°F to 113°F, and when below 32°F, no charges occurs


A smartphone with a Lithium battery, when in use,  discharges at temperatures far below freezing point (as low as -4°F). And when a battery made with lithium ion is charging, its temperature gets warmer, and when there is an increase in temperature, the faster it charges. And when it reaches its charging limit, it will then disperse other incoming power as heat.


But charging your smartphone overnight becomes a problem when the battery gets to its limit and is unable to disperse other incoming power as heat.


Though smartphones of nowadays can solve this problem by themselves. Today, most smartphones are built with a power optimizer which will of course control the battery's heat even when charging at night.


So this is the reason why i said earlier that charging your smartphone overnight isn't that bad because of the invention of self optimizing smartphones.


But please don't go yet, below is the major charging tips i think it will be best for you.

Some chargers of nowadays are fast in charging, which every smartphone users will like to have. But i assure you that using those fast chargers often to charge your smartphone will make your battery gets hotter often than it should, thereby reducing your battery's lifespan.
