It’s a matter of balancing convenience with battery longevity. Extreme battery levels, both low and high.Depth of discharge a.k.a how much battery is used before recharging.Why are these recommended? Because unlike the old Nickel, lithium-ion batteries get stressed by: There are much room for tweaking to add more convenience into the mix.

But these are only for maximizing battery health. Impractical and unrealistic, yes they are. And keep your battery level as close to the middle (50%) as possible. To REALLY minimize battery degradation, top up for every 10% drop in battery level. In short, the more often you top up your battery, the better. How often you charge will affect the battery life, for better or worse. After that, the battery capacity will drop by roughly 20%.īut does yours seem to get shorter way earlier? If yes, then perhaps your charging habit all through the years has been silently wrecking your phone’s battery health Typically, a modern phone battery’s (lithium-ion) lifespan is 2 – 3 years, which is about 300 – 500 charge cycles as rated by manufacturers.

Does your phone’s battery last as long as it should?
