The ideal percentage to start charging your phone is between 20% and 30%.
Here's why:
- Battery Health: Charging your phone when it's below 20% can put stress on the battery, potentially shortening its lifespan.
- Convenience: Waiting until your phone is below 20% before charging gives you enough time to use it without worrying about it dying unexpectedly.
- Battery Cycle: Every time you fully charge your phone, you complete a battery cycle. Charging between 20% and 30% helps to minimize the number of cycles, extending the battery's life.
Practical Tips:
- Avoid fully charging: Aim to stop charging your phone around 80-90%. This helps to prevent battery degradation.
- Use a high-quality charger: Using a slow charger can help to minimize stress on the battery.
- Turn off unnecessary features: When your phone is charging, turn off features you don't need, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and location services.
Remember: Every phone battery is different. You may find that your phone performs best with a slightly different charging range. Experiment to find what works best for you.
