The best way to charge your phone? Do this

There has been talk for years about how to charge phones. ZdNet supplier Adrian Kingsley-Hughes decided to test what is the best way to charge your phone. He says he has charged Iphonea in the past like many others during the night.

Like many other manufacturers, the iPhone supports optimized battery charging. This is to slow down the aging of the battery as the phone learns from the user’s daily charging routines. If the phone is charged at night, this means that the charge will stop at 80% and the last 20% will only be charged before the user wakes up in the morning.

Kingsley-Hughes says he decided to change his charging method significantly. Instead of charging the phone at night, he started charging the phone twice during the day. When he woke up, he charged the phone for 30 to 45 minutes. He then recharged the phone for half an hour in the afternoon.

“This usually allowed the phone to be used until the next morning,” Kingsley-Hughes writes.

Keep the charge at about 80 percent

Kingsley-Hughes estimates that a new type of charging cycle will reduce the load on the battery as well as the charger. In addition, this means that the charger must be carried.

While driving the charger may seem tedious, it does mean that there is always power available if you need it – as long as the plug is close.

Kingsley-Hughes’ findings are in line with what a professor at the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science at Aalto University Tanja Kallio has told Iltalehti. According to him, the charge of the phone should be kept between 20 and 80 percent.

– In general, in lithium-ion batteries, 20% of the extremes are in areas with the largest electrochemical side reactions. If you avoid them, the battery life will be extended. The charge should be kept between 20 and 80 percent if you want to think about battery life, Kallio said.

Telia’s expert Petri Feirikki while it has been said in the past that the phone should not be kept in the charger overnight.

– The first instruction is that when charging electrical equipment, someone should be in the same room to avoid dangerous situations. It is also very important that phones are not charged overnight. Even if the phone’s batteries do not overcharge, the device will always receive power when the charging cable is closed. To avoid accidents, you should charge your phone before going to bed or in the morning, Feirikki said.
