Do you keep your phone battery above 20%, or do you wait until the low-battery warning shows up?

I just leave the charger connected 24/7. I like my phone to always be at 100% Everyone tells me its bad for the battery, but it doesn't cause me any problems.

I've been using cellphones for about 6 years now, and I have always left the charger connected to my phone with no problems.

When I did what everyone said to do, like let it run down and then recharge it, that's when I start to run into the problem of it not wanting to stay charged at 100% again. It keeps dropping after I do what everyone says to do even when I have the charger connected and it should be at 100%, it keeps dropping.

I use my phone until it gets to 10% or so and then change it to 90% , occasionally charging to 100%.


I always carry a magnetic qi battery pack and or a charger.


I never just charge it overnight , kills batter health faster. Had my iPhone 15 just over 2 years and still has 92% battery health

I think it's better to let it deplete almost completely and then charge it to 100 percent.

But if I need to go out and I know I'll be away for a couple of hours, I charge it anyway, regardless of how much is left or where it gets to. I need my phone for professional matters. Otherwise, I wouldn't care.

Memory effect isn't a problem today in batteries, so it doesn't really matter. Only high charge current and complete discharge (much lower when phone shuts down) are dangerous for batteries today.

I couldn't care less about my phone.

I just charged it every night or earlier if it doesn't make it that far.

These days I’ve been waiting till it hits 5% which is soon as I’m currently at 7% lol

[Calyptomaniac]

I usually charge it if gets too close to 50%, it's almost always around 80%

[AngryCarl3]

I recharge any time I notice it's below 50% but unlike you youngsters I seldom look at my phone.

@MariaEve I don’t have a phone of my own. I borrow it and check if it’s charged

[dudeinohio]

I try to keep it above 20 to 30. Deep discharging a lithium battery isn't good for them.

[thegreenyogi]

I usually charge it when it gets to 55%.

The second. I forget to charge that shit often

[FrodoSkywalker007]

I try to charge it consistently

[bowenw]

Usually fully charged or close to it.

[Kelly6]

@MariaEve both ways

[Staximus]

I wait until the warning

[AgentG111]

Usually but sometimes things happen

[Bklynbadboy12]

I wait until the love battery light comes on
