Don’t charge your phone battery to 100%

Fully charging and leaving your phone plugged in (especially overnight) can generate heat — another enemy of battery life.

  • Fewer charge cycles
    A lithium-ion battery is good for a certain number of charge cycles. Charging to 100% all the time eats into that total faster.

  • ✅ What You Should Do Instead:

    • Keep your charge between 20% and 80%
      You don’t have to obsess over it, but staying within this range as often as possible keeps your battery healthier, longer.
    • Use optimized charging features
      Most smartphones now offer settings like “Battery Optimization” or “Optimized Battery Charging” that slow the charge or stop it at 80% while you’re asleep.
    • Unplug once it hits 80–90%
      If you’re charging during the day, try unplugging it early. Your battery will thank you.
    • Don’t let it die
      Going down to 0% might feel dramatic (and it is—for your phone). Try to avoid full drain cycles unless you’re calibrating the battery occasionally.

    📱 TL;DR:

    • 100% isn’t as good as it seems.
    • 80% is the new sweet spot.
    • Treat your battery with care and it’ll last way longer.

    So the next time you plug in your phone, remember: you don’t need to hit 100 to win. A little restraint = a longer-lasting device and fewer expensive battery replacements.
