My smartphone may be charging all night?

When it comes to mobile device batteries, specifically lithium-ion, not lacking there is myths, especially with regard to how these should be loaded. Many users still do not know "take care" of your smartphone / tablet battery because insist on loading / total downloads. And at night, is it good to let the charge mobile devices?When it comes to mobile devices batteries usually the concern of users is facing the autonomy they offer. This is an important point, but users also play a key role in battery life, because it is they who decide when loading equipment.

What not to do? When we are talking about lithium batteries, there is a principle that must be followed! The lithium batteries should never leave download completely .

According to DigitalTrends , the ideal proportion for lithium batteries is between 50% and 80%. In this sense, instead of total shipments, the user must make partial shipments. Smartphone One example given in the following table information that is published on the site batteryuniversity . Having the battery to 50% it can endure between 1200 to 1500 charging cycles (a value that corresponds to the "life expectancy" of the battery).


cycles Note (via kayo) : A charge cycle of a battery means using all the battery capacity, but not necessarily a single full charge. For example, imagine you have your phone with a fully charged battery. Use it for a while until it reaches half its load and then decides to charge it fully. When the battery is full, just held half cycle (0.5) load.

My smartphone may be charging all night?

Shane Broesky, co-founder Farbe Technik (a company that produces battery charging accessories), leave the smartphone to charge overnight is no problem even because he is "very smart". This is when the battery is charged in full equipment "stops" to provide power to prevent overloading the same.


There is however a very important issue. One of the biggest enemies of lithium batteries is heat . It is very important that equipment does not heat up too much. Shane advises until who have covers on equipment that remove for shipments so that the heat is released. Otherwise the heat will increase the battery temperature which could lead to oxidation of the cells and therefore to decrease the autonomy of them. Equipment should not be left in a humid or taken, for example, to the toilet when you shower because the water vapor can also lead to oxidation of the battery cells.

A temperature above 30 is already considered high, which could lead to the battery capacity loss.

Any charger is?
The question regarding the use of unofficial boots is also interesting. Obviously we should always use the charger that comes with our equipment. In the latter case, if the charger is also quality should be no problem.
It is important not to use chargers "dubious" because besides damaging the battery can even cause "explosions".

In short ...
For best results it is important that:
Always use the chargers and cables official
Do not leave the equipment exposed to humid or too hot
Remove the cover for the shipments if they consider that this does not let the heat
Make partial loads and maintain the percentage of loading between 50% and 80%.
Do not let the battery discharge in full, to 0%. And do not make full load of 0% to 100%.
