Healthy Tips:

 

1)  stop charging from zero to 100% , Charge a little whenever you can, despite the wrong fact of charging & discharging from 0-100  (related to Lithium Battery technology:

 

The rule with Li-ion batteries is to keep them 50% or more most of the time. When it drops below 50% top it up a little if you can. A little a few times a day seems to be the optimum to aim for.But don’t charge it all the way to 100%. It won’t be fatal to your battery if you do a full recharge – most of us are forced to do this every now and again in emergencies. But constantly doing a full recharge will shorten the battery’s lifespan.So a good range to aim for when charging a Li-ion battery is from about 40% to 80% in one go. Try not to let the battery drop below 20%.

Safe tips for Battery Charging:

 

1)  Buy & use genuine chargers (Compatible to your Battery Amp)

2) Don’t cover your Mobile or charger while in use

3) Don’t leave a charger plugged in overnight (Overheat Issues)

4) regularly Check the charger for damages

5) Don’t overload sockets or Ports

For safe charging, mobile should be placed on charing before battery goes to below 20% and should be charged upto 95%. It should not be charged till 100% and should not be used while charging. It should be kept isolated before use.

I think the healthiest way to charge your mobile phone, by turning it off while charging. Remember: avoid  letting your cell phones battery run all the way down.

When your battery charging is 20% you must charge it with its original charger because non-original charger loose the battery timing. And if you charge you mobile phone after shutdown it also affect your mobile battery timing. to keep battery timing charge on time and with original charger.

Charge it once it reaches at least 20% and don't forget to unplug it when it is already full charge. A typical rechargeable battery functions well for 1000 charge cycles. This makes mobile battery vulnerable to be changed after approximately three years.

MAKE SURE THE ROOM TEMPERATURE IS NOT HIGH AND AVOID USING CHARGERS NOT SPECIFIED FOR A CERTAIN MOBILE. USE THE RECOMMENDED CHARGER AT ALL TIMES

Always Use Original Authentic Charger, Never wait for your battery to be fully drained out at least connect to the charger when still have battery above 20-30%, Avoid Keeping your device with charger connected mode overnight it will damage your battery.

1-      Yes, you can leave your phone plugged in overnight:

It is not the end of the world if you don't unplug your phone the second that it is charged. That charger is smarter than you give it credit for. Leaving your phone on the charger all night (or all day) is far better for your battery than running it down and charging it up. All smart phones will disconnect charging when reach to 100%. So no worries. If there is any overheat issues that is mean there is an issue with, charger, battery, or the phone it itself.

 

2-      Charge a little bit whenever you can:

Lithium-ion batteries don't respond well to being charged all the way up and then run all the way down. They take much better to little bits of charge here and there.

 

3-      Keep your batteries cool:

Speaking of temperature, make sure you don't leave your phone in a hot car all day, place it on top of your gaming PC, or use it in a sauna. Try to avoid wireless charging if you can. Because the waste-heat those chargers generate will also bake your battery. Also, beware of quick chargers. While your phone and charger are generally smart enough to minimize damage from high-voltage chargers, a lot of power super-fast can generate extra heat, And if you have to store a gadget or its battery for a while, do it in a cool dry place.

 

4-      Store batteries with a little bit of charge:

If you're storing batteries, you give them about a half a charge first. They'll slowly lose their charge over time, and if it drops into the true-zero danger zone, your battery will automatically trip its safety circuit and kill itself for real before it can become unstable.

 

5-      Maybe go replaceable if you can.

If you're borderline insane about your battery life, consider opting for gadgets that have removable batteries when you can. For one thing, there's no faster way to "charge" a gadget than by swapping in a fully charged battery, And if you can't avoid these bad battery practices, at least you can start fresh by buying a fresh battery.

 

6-      Don't let your battery rule your life:

If you follow the most basic rules of thumb—don't go all the way from full to empty if you can avoid it and minimize the exposure to heat as best you can—you'll be fine. It's easy to obsess over battery care, to let charging superstitions metastasize into obsessive ritual. However, just remember two things:

·         Your gadgets and their batteries are designed to keep you from ruining them. Lithium-ion batteries today are better, smarter, and more resilient than the nickel-metal hydrides of yesteryear.

·         Your batteries are going to die. No amount of obsessive care will save you from having to deal with a less capable battery a few years from now.

 

7-      Invariably, we're all destined for the annoying endgame that comes when a battery degrades, and you're either tethered to a charger, buying a replacement battery, or buying a new gadget altogether. We've all been there before, and we'll be there again. So long as you follow the most basic of guidelines, you can maximize your distance from here to there.

 

Remember that; always use genuine gadgets, charger, cable, battery. Whether from the same brand or any high quality famous brands.
