My wife’s phone dies every. single. day. and I don’t know why she doesn’t just charge it at night.

I’m just wondering how people live like this 😅

    Keeping Lithium-ion batteries at 100% charge will reduce their lifespan. They want to live in the 40-80% range. I use an app that notifies me when my phone has charged to 80%, so that I can unplug it. It may be overkill, but I plan to use this phone for 9 more years or so.

      Both iphone and androids have an OS option to stop charging at 85 though - I keep it on all the time unless I’m going to need that extra bit of juice

      9 more years?? I’ve gotten almost 6 years out of my Oneplus 5T and I’ve been ecstatic about it. It’s literally lasted 3 times longer than any phone I’ve had before it
