Effects Of Charging Phones With Generator by Contumely: 7:54pm On Sep 26, 2011
I have heard a couple of times that charging phone batteries damages or depletes the life of the battery. But I don't think it is possible and because of the misgivings I have concerning that I don't do it.
So please I want to confirm from you guyz the veracity of such claims.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

You are right. Hope you are happy?

When charged with generators, the battery runs down very quickly. Same applies to laptops. My HP battery of 100% will give me over 4 hours if charged with PHCN but close to 3 hours if charged with generator. Anyone can try this.

charging with gen can blow off the battery and damage the phone when there is power surge

Its quite true that charging phone batteries with gen shortens the life span of the battery,I know this for a fact cos I've experienced it,but it seems like one doesn't have an option but to charge with gen given the state of power supply in the country.
What I do is that I buy a spare battery for my phone,that's the one I charge with gen.

Guys, i disagree with this myth. If your generator produces a steady current and does not fluctuates as most small generator does, it shouldn't have any effect on your phone battery. You may want to adopt some best practices though;
1. Ensure the generator is on for a little while before plugging in your phone to power.
2. Ensure you unplug the phone before turning off the generator.
3. Unplug your phone as soon as it is fully charged, don't leave at the power source to forestall current surge when PHCN restore power.
4. It's a good idea to have power stabilizers at home.

Current is current as long as it does not fluctuate arbitrarily.

Finally, those batteries are not built to last forever. Even here in US, you may need to replace your phone batteries if you plan to use the phone for more than a year.

Ok! From personal experience, it depends on he Generator you use!

If you regularly charge with the small "I pass my neighbor" types then yes, it depletes the battery life of not just phones, but laptops!
If you charge with larger generators, believe me you have no problems!
Try not to make it a habit of charging with the small generators all the time, and you'll be ok!

you are quite right because my lappy battery has reduced its capacity since i started charging it regularly on small generator. It used to last up to 3hr b4 bt after steady charging wt gen for 3month it cn only last for 45mins. I plan to buy a new battery that i wl be charging wt nepa light only.

Three words, "Uninterrupted Power Supply", if you use this then it will condition the AC regardless of the source.

As far as the phones battery life, I have never ever purchased a battery for any of my cellular phones in over 15 years, maybe I have just been lucky.
Re: Effects Of Charging Phones With Generator by N101: 8:48pm On Oct 06, 2011
Why not charge using a stabilizer rather than direct?

You are seriously setting yourself up for insults with this kind of ill thought out comment. How old are you, seriously, to be asking a question like that? Why don't you just Google "generators and see what is available in your own country? Generators exist in the US, like they exist elsewhere. If you have never seen one I don't blame you.

Does someone need light to have s/e/x? Don't people have s/e/x when they go camping?

Answer those first, then reflect on the question you just asked.

So were you deported?

What did you do? Shoplift? Rape? or did you steal from a dollar store?

I am sorry for you situation. it must be really hard for you and your lazy family. No wonder you are so frustrated. Take care okay.

Honestly, I dont know what a generator looks like? Is it the same thing as a vibrator? My Sugar mummy has one of those and she allows me to play with it once in a while. Any difference? Is it enough to power a house? I know people get o/r/g/a/s/m from it, but not sure if it can generate enough power. please e/j/a/c/u/la/t/e me. I am here to learn.
Re: Effects Of Charging Phones With Generator by Nobody: 4:48am On Oct 08, 2011
FYI, we have generators here in the US and we call them just that so not sure where the other poster was coming from.

I have one here myself.
