Leaving your cell phone connected all night is a bad idea

One of the main effects of this activity is that your battery performance will be lower.

A little over a decade ago, one of the instructions that new phones had was that you had to charge your device for many hours in order for the battery to activate properly, which is why many users were left with the idea that it was best to keep your phone connected all night .

However, the evolution of battery technology has meant that today's smartphones are able to charge in just a few minutes, so this habit has become a bad practice.

In fact, one measure that can help improve the performance of your battery is to charge your phone between 20 and 80%, since current technology only records the number of full charges that devices have.

Lithium-ion batteries consist of several individual cells. Thanks to their special structure and materials, they offer high performance and their capacity remains constant over long periods of operation. They can also be partially charged, which is why they have become popular in the technology sector.

If you want to increase the battery life of your smartphone, here are some tips:

• Avoid charging the battery to 100% or draining it to 0%

Most batteries are made of lithium, so their aging process is based on the lithium-ion battery, if it completes the full cycle it will wear out.

• Do not use non-original chargers

Although it may seem like an obvious instruction, original chargers provide the correct voltage that your cell phone battery needs. In addition, misuse of this type of charger can cause an accident due to the overload that the device may have.

• Don't expose your phone to the sun

If you are on the beach or in traffic, your device may increase in temperature, so it is recommended that even if it is a little warmer, you avoid exposing the phone, as the battery may be damaged. In addition, other elements such as chipsets may also be affected.
