Electronics Charging cell phone batteries...

Stewie · 03-30-2022, 06:55 PM

I just purchased a new cellphone and get conflicting information on how to charge the battery for optimal life.

I read that you should charge to 80% and recharge at 20%. I also read that cellphones control charging through software. You can charge to 100% without problems, but will have you recharge at 15%.

Just curious. I plan on keeping this phone for at least 2 years.

Thanks for your help, Stewie

it is all crap.

NiMH and Lithium Ion can be done as many times and as much as needed

phone batteries are not meant to last more than two years anyway
