Many of you may often hear not too long to charge your cellphone. This means making sure you unplug your cellphone from the charger after reaching 100 percent.
In addition, warnings such as not letting the cellphone to pop overnight appear frequently. Some of you might ignore this. But certainly, there are several reasons why you have to believe that.
Like reported from the Time page, Tuesday (9/18/2018), this is because cell phones contain lithium-ion (or li-ion) which can be recharged. Li-ion batteries charge faster than traditional rechargeable batteries.
That's why you can connect your iPhone or Android phone to a charger, and at least 80% of charging happens fast enough.
However, even cellphone batteries don't last long. If used all day, the battery will start losing power at night.
For that reason, many people might charge their cellphones overnight. They then found 100 percent power in the morning. Even though your cellphone may only need an hour or two to reach 100%.
According to Cadex Electronics marketing communications manager John Bradshaw, "Please fill it up to 100%. No need to worry about overcharging because modern devices will stop the load properly at the appropriate voltage".
This is because, the cellphone stops drawing current from the charger after reaching 100%. Edo Campos, a spokesman for battery maker Anker, added, "Modern smart phones are smart, meaning they have built a protection chip that will keep the cellphone from taking more load than it should".
He added, if a good quality charger also has a protection chip that prevents the charger from releasing more power than needed. For example, he continued when the battery reaches 100%, the protective hardware inside the cell phone will stop the inflow and the charger will turn off.
But certainly, even though the charger turns off the cellphone when it reaches 100%. The cellphone is constantly bouncing between full charge and slightly under full charge. This can reduce capacity over time.
"Li-ion does not need to be fully charged as is lead acid, it is also not desirable to do it. In fact, it is better not to fully charge because of the high voltage stresses the battery," according to an article from the University of Cadex Battery website.
Furthermore, Campos said if the cellphone battery basically loses its performance after years of use. Then by filling the cellphone overnight it will increase the amount of time the device spends with the charger, thus reducing its capacity faster.
Then, what advice do experts have for smart phone owners?
First, don't wait until the cellphone approaches the 0% battery power just after charging, at least in conditions of 35% or 40%. Then, you also have to keep your cellphone cool, because higher temperatures accelerate the loss of battery capacity.
