JAKARTA To date, many still don't know how to manage cell phone batteries properly. In fact, without managing the battery properly, the phone will be difficult to live long. There are some concerns about how to care for batteries. If you want to make the phone battery healthier and not easily wasteful, here are some taboos in managing the phone battery that you should know, quoted from How to Geek. Not Filling Batteries Up to 100 Percent Many mobile phone users charge when the battery is reduced by 20 percent, whereas this should not be done. Not a few mobile phone manufacturers are prohibiting charging below 20 percent because they can make the battery stressed and aus. The same thing will happen if the phone has been charging for too long, even up to 100 percent. Charging the right power is no less than 20 percent and not more than 20 percent. Not a problem if you want to charge up to 100 percent occasionally. Don't charge Overnight The next thing that shouldn't be done is charging your phone overnight. Not a few Android and iOS phone users charge your phone at night before bed, then unplug the chargers when they wake up. This should not be done because it can damage the phone battery. Currently, many mobile phone manufacturers present fast charging features so you don't need to charge overnight anymore. On average, Android phones can now be charged in just an hour.

Avoid Charging from a Computer In a state of urgency, you may want to charge by connecting a USB cable to a port on a computer. This can be done, but charging won't go well as the flow is much lower. In addition, the phone will take power from the computer and charging will run very slowly. In some cases, your phone and your computer may experience overheating as the charging doesn't run smoothly.
