📉 What's the ideal range?
Many experts recommend keeping your battery between:
20% and 80%
This range reduces internal stress and can help preserve capacity for more charge cycles.
In fact, some modern phones include "optimized charging" options that automatically limit charging to 100% until just before you wake up.
🔥 The real enemy: heat
More than 100%, what damages a battery the most is:
Charging your phone under your pillow
Using it while charging (especially playing demanding games)
Exposing it to sunlight
Heat accelerates internal chemical degradation.
🛑 So, should I never charge to 100%?
Yes, you can when you need to, for example:
Before a long trip
If you know you'll be without a charge for many hours
The key is not to make it a daily habit.
💡 Tips to extend your battery life
Avoid letting it drop to 0% frequently
Don't leave it plugged in overnight if you can avoid it
Activate optimized charging if your device has it
Keep your phone in cool places
