Four phone charging mistakes that shorten battery life
Use Your Phone’s Original Charger: While it’s tempting to use ultra-fast chargers, frequent use of them can harm battery lifespan, and the best approach is to use the charger recommended by your phone’s manufacturer.
Cheap, non-standard chargers may also produce unstable current or voltage, which carries the risk of overheating.
Disclaimer: Nowadays, mobile phones use lithium-ion batteries, which have become a key part of portable or mobile technology since the 1990s due to their ability to store energy in a small space. While these batteries charge quickly and have a longer lifespan compared to other types, that doesn’t mean they last forever. Sandeep Anikrishnan, Chief Technology Officer at Lionvolt, a battery innovation company, says that “a phone’s battery life decreases over time due to internal electrochemical degradation.”
