Battery Tips Please

I would like to know how often and when it is best to charge your battery.

Like should you wait until it is at a low percent like under 50% or under 40%.

Hi, check this article out, lots of info on it. Seems to suggest 50% is good

suzie444 had an iPhone 6s since last March and have had the optimised battery charging on which seems to have conditioned this battery quite well. In fact clicking battery health still shows maximum capacity at 100% 👍

suzie444 I leave my android phone till it gets to 10% and had no problems.

suzie444 With these new batteries your best not to let them go below 20% and then charge can help make your battery last longer .

Hope they're in the right order !

I charge my phone once it's between 20-25% and charge it until it's 75-80% on most days.

Once a week I fully charge it to 100%.

Modern lithium phone batteries do not suffer from the old Ni-Cad,"Memory" problems. They are very robust and don't mind being charged frequently or even left on a decent charger. There's no need to fully discharge them and it can be detrimental to them and in some cases make the phone unbootable(there are fixes).

For Android this is a neat little app that allows you to set charge level warning settings and much much more,
