No harm done to the battery: how often can you charge your smartphone in a day

Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, but many people still believe popular myths about the frequency of charging. The most common mistake, experts say, is long-term "night" charging of a smartphone. It's better not to put your gadget on charge overnight, especially if you don't do it regularly.

Of course, in the context of power outages, the problem of recharging the phone has become a pressing issue. Experts told us how often you can charge your smartphone so as not to damage the battery.

Constant charging up to 100 percent can be harmful to modern lithium-ion batteries. Experts emphasize that if you charge to a maximum of 80 percent, the battery will last much longer.

The main tips that will help increase battery life are not to put your smartphone under your pillow before going to bed, and to avoid overheating or frequent charging cycles.

To save energy, you should use the power-saving mode and turn off the Internet and geolocation whenever possible. Applications left in the background drain battery power, so you should close all programs and apps that you don't use.

Typically, a smartphone is charged once a day, and this is a normal rate. If you charge your gadget more than twice a day, this may be a signal of a problem.

Sudden temperature changes negatively affect battery performance. You should make sure that your smartphone is not exposed to direct sunlight and not put your smartphone on charge in a room that is too cold.

Low-quality chargers can also adversely affect battery performance, so use only original chargers.

Put aside messengers, watching videos, and playing games while your phone is charging – this also damages the battery. In addition, the smartphone will charge faster.
