How long you charge your smartphone depends on how long it will work. There are several myths surrounding this issue.
Batteries have a limited number of charge and discharge cycles, after which their capacity begins to decrease. The correct process of charging the device will help extend the life of the battery.
Many people doubt whether it is possible to charge the phone to 100%. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. In most cases, devices automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full capacity to avoid overcharging. At the same time, it is better not to overcharge the smartphone after reaching 100%, so as not to damage the battery.
There is a myth that the phone should be charged for the first time after the device is completely discharged and should reach 100% capacity. This is said to help extend battery life. But it is not so. First, each manufacturer has its own well-reasoned arguments about how to properly charge a smartphone battery for the first time.
There is an expert opinion that fully charging a smartphone for the first time is useless and does not affect its service life in any way. However, charging the battery to full capacity for the first time will help calibrate the charge management system.
There is also a myth that once a phone's battery is 100% charged, the phone should never be left charging any further. It is worth noting that modern devices switch to charge maintenance mode. That is, charging stops, and the phone starts using power from the network directly, bypassing the battery.
Thus, powering through charging does not damage the battery in any way. But it is worth considering that if the device is on charge for a long time, it can lead to excessive heating, which will affect the durability of the battery. It is recommended to remove the phone from charging after reaching full charge.
