If You Buy A New Phone, How Are You Supposed To Charge It? by atheistandproud(m): 3:34pm On Aug 26, 2021
Are you supposed to charge a new phone as soon as you unbox it

Or

Are you supposed to run the battery down before charging it?

Definitely as soon as you unbox it...running down the battery would only be deteriorating...FTC anyways!

A good option but not necessarily the correct answer.

Batteries have actually gotten smarter with lithium ion batteries but there are still some safe practices to prolong the battery health.

Lithium ion batteries are at their best in the middle, never too high nor too low. So its best to;

1. Charge a battery to 80%. Pushing in the last
charge between 80-100% causes the battery to
age faster.
2. Never allow it to die out completely.
3. Some phone manufacturers have battery
management systems (smart charging) in their
os to regulate how long a battery is charged,
this is to prolong battery health.
4. Some experts say once in a month allowing
your phone to die out completely, then charge
to hundred percent helps re-calibrate the
system, like restarting your PC clears the cached
memory.
5. Always using your fast charger(33watts,
64watts) degrades battery faster. Use them on
the go, not over night. Get a normal slow
charger for long charges because fast chargers
heat up the batteries significantly, and heat
degrades battery life fast.
6. Just like in dieting, its better to eat many small
meals than one large meal, in battery care its
also good to go on multiple charges of 10- 90%,
20-80% than 0- 100%.
7. Every battery has a charging cycle of between
300-500cycles. Every time you charge from 0-
100, that is one charging cycle recorded. At the
end of your cycle the battery stops to hold
charge. When a battery reaches 100% it stops
charging even when it shows the charging sign,
it discharges to a percentage determined by the
manufacturer then its starts charging up to 100
again. It doesnt show it discharging while
plugged in, but the battery is busy charging and
discharging. Minus the continuous charge and
discharge, the process heats up the battery
which over time damages it. Imagine leaving a
battery charging overnight from 10pm to 7am,
by 11pm it must have fully charged from 11pm to o7 will be discharging and charging using up precious charging cycles. A battery that should
end up lasting 3yrs will suddenly run oout in one year.

Couldn't agree any less that lithium ion batteries don't like the electrons being totally used up. That's why some phones shut down at 4%, some 3% and mine 2%. Even after it's completely shut down if you still tap the power button it still comes up with something even though it goes back.

Great video
