Reasons Why Charging Cell Phones Overnight Is Risky!

JAKARTA - Many people may think that frequently charging their phones all night long won't pose a serious risk to their phones, but actually, this habit has damaged cell phones' batteries and shortened their lifespan.

The following VOI gives reasons why it should not be done for smartphone users, as quoted from Make Us Of, Friday, September 17. Leaving it to charge while you sleep means the device will stay connected to the charger longer. This habit should not be done often.

The reason is, the cellphone battery cannot be recharged excessively. Manufacturers put safeguards in the phone to prevent this. However, when you charge it to 100 percent, it adds enough extra energy to compensate for what your device uses by default.

By charging to 100 percent and staying plugged in, you'll be wasting your battery life excessively, forcing it to expend energy when you don't need it. Prolonged charging can also cause an increase in temperature, naturally lowering your battery charge.

It can also be dangerous in extreme cases, especially if you keep your phone under your pillow. Lack of airflow can not only potentially damage your battery, but it also increases the risk of fire.

As a smartphone user, you should avoid exposing your phone to extreme temperatures. Temperatures below 32 Fahrenheit (0 Celsius) and above 158 Fahrenheit (70 Celsius) can degrade your Li-Ion battery more quickly. Don't sunbathe with your phone, and don't leave it in the car in hot or cold weather.

Don't Use Your Phone While It's Charging

In order to extend battery life, it is recommended that you should not use the device for any high-intensity activities while charging. Realistically, a lot of people do. However, doing so often can cause irreparable damage.

This is comparable to overclocking your PC's CPU. Like running applications simultaneously, the phone will get hot and not operate properly. It will also consume excess power.

Running apps while charging will slow down your phone in its second year of use. If you want to use your phone for a long time, don't use the app while it is charging.

So that your cellphone battery doesn't run out quickly

In addition to maintaining your device's temperature and charge percentage, you can extend battery life longer by reducing how often you need to charge it. Reducing the screen operating time and lowering the brightness setting will have a big impact.

Also, most smartphones and some laptops have a battery saver option. It rarely negatively affects your device experience. If you're on an Apple device, you can take advantage of the Screen Time feature, which can give you a schedule for downtime and app limits to encourage better habits.

Contrary to belief, connecting to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi will not consume much battery power. However, disabling GPS and Cellular Data can significantly reduce drain on most devices.

Tips to Extend Your Battery Life

So, how can you extend the battery life of your smartphone? Here are some simple tips.

1. Use partial charging to keep your battery between 20 and 80 percent.

2 Reduce the amount of time your battery stays at 100 percent by not charging your phone at night. This is when the battery will degrade the fastest.

3. Keep your device at extreme temperatures.

4. Reduce your device battery drain by turning off unnecessary services. Use battery saver to get longer usage from each charge.
