When to put your smartphone on charge to avoid killing the battery.

Most users do not think about how they charge their devices, which can shorten the lifespan of the battery and the smartphone. Experts recommend the '20-80' strategy: keep the charge no lower than 20% and disconnect from charging when it reaches about 80%. This can help reduce wear on the power elements.

Modern lithium-ion batteries are designed for an average of a thousand full cycles from '0% to 100%'. Therefore, each Time you charge the phone to 80% and then discharge it to 20%, it counts as one complete cycle. The fewer 0-100% cycles the battery goes through, the longer it retains its initial capacity.

There is also another option - '50-70', where the charge level does not drop below half and does not exceed 70%. This method can almost double the battery's lifespan, but requires several energy refills throughout the day. So, the choice between both methods depends on personal schedules and access to power outlets.

When exactly should you put your phone on charge

The smartphone battery wears out faster due to our charging habits, not just over time. To prolong the 'life' of the battery, it is worth following the charging range rules.
