Is your phone battery draining too fast? These bad charging habits are the culprits. Let's see if you are one of them.

Many mobile phone users have found that after using their mobile phones for one or two years, the battery becomes less and less durable. Not only does the charging speed become slower, but the power consumption rate after the phone is fully charged also increases a lot.

This phenomenon indicates that the phone's battery has started to have problems. So why do mobile phone batteries become less durable and what causes them? The following bad habits are the culprits. Let's see if you have been affected.

1. Playing with your phone while charging

The first bad habit of charging a mobile phone is to play with it while charging. I guess many people have fallen into this habit. Many of us are used to playing with it while charging, and we don’t think there is anything wrong with it. Even manufacturers have specifically emphasized that mobile phones support the function of playing with it while charging. But in fact, we have all been misled. There is nothing wrong with playing with the phone while charging. The phone does not need to be powered during the charging process.

However, if we play while charging, it is easy to increase the temperature of the phone, especially when playing games. High temperature is a major culprit for battery damage, especially for today's lithium batteries. Therefore, in order to extend the battery life, mobile phone users should try to fully charge the battery before continuing to play.

2. Charge your phone only when it runs out of battery

The second bad charging habit is not charging the phone in time, always waiting until the phone is almost out of power before looking for a charger. For the lithium batteries used in current mobile phones, the battery life is usually expressed in charging cycles, and a charging cycle refers to the power from 100% to exhausted. If mobile phone users always wait until the phone is out of power before charging, it will undoubtedly accelerate the aging and damage of the battery. Over time, the battery of the mobile phone will definitely become less durable, and you may even have to change the phone directly because of battery damage.

3. Using a low-quality charger

The above two habits are sometimes unavoidable, but the third bad habit can be completely eliminated. The third bad habit of mobile phone charging is to use inferior chargers, which is also the most likely point for safety accidents. We occasionally see cases of mobile phone explosions during charging, and in those cases, they are basically caused by inferior chargers.

The original charger of our mobile phone is matched with the fast charging solution of the mobile phone, and it also contains a smart chip inside, which can intelligently adjust the charging voltage and current. However, inferior chargers may not have the above guarantees. The elderly are often more likely to be fooled by inferior chargers because they don’t know much about them and think that as long as the charger can charge the mobile phone, it can be used at will. Many safety accidents are caused by this.

The powerful functions of smartphones are based on complex hardware, and the battery is a crucial part of it. The batteries of current smartphones are basically not removable. If the battery is broken, we can only change the phone. Therefore, in order to extend the life of the phone, it is very helpful to develop good charging habits. Have you fallen into the bad charging habits mentioned above?
