Our Smartphone batteries are so bad that they barely last a
day. But it’s partially our fault because we’ve been charging them wrong this
whole time. But we couldn’t be more wrong. According to research from Battery

details about wrong charging practices and why they are bad for your phone.
Unplug your phone
when it is fully charged
Always remove your phone from the charger when it is fully
charged. Leaving your phone plugged in when fully charged is bad for battery
life.
Unplugging your phone from the charger relieves it from
overcharging as if it had just done an intense workout. According to Battery
University, removing the device from charging when it reaches 100% is like
“relaxing muscles after strenuous exercise”.
Don't charge your battery to 100 percent
You must not charge your phone to 100 percent at least when
you don’t have to.
According to Battery University, “Lithium-ion batteries do
not need to be fully charged, nor is it desirable to do so. In fact, it is
better not to fully charge, because a high voltage stresses the battery” and
wears it away in the long run
Plug in your phone whenever you can

It’s better to only charge your phone when they
are close to dead.
It turns out that your phone battery will stay much happier
if you charge it every now and then throughout the day, instead of charging it
for a big charging session when it’s empty. According to Battery University,
it’s best when you charge your phone when it loses 10%, albeit. it’s not possible
to be conscious all the time, but just plug it whenever you can. It’s fine to
plug and unplug it multiple times a day.
Hence, multiple, short bursts of charging are advised over
one long charge, when it’s empty.
Keep your device cool
Don’t charge your battery at extreme temperatures. “Extreme
cold and high heat reduce charge acceptance, so the battery must be brought to
a moderate temperature before charging,” Battery University says.
Apple advises users to remove phone cases if they notice
their device heating up while charging.
“If you notice that your device gets hot when you charge it, take it out
of its case first. If you’re out in the hot sun, keep your phone covered. It’ll
protect your battery’s health,” stated Apple.
Using off-brand chargers destroys batteries.
As long as it’s not the knockoffs that you’re using, it is
good. Cheap knockoffs are what will damage your battery and smartphone.
Off-brand chargers spoil your charging pot and can damage your smartphone.
