Does overcharging hurt your phone?

[RanggaWiratno]

I like to live dangerously, so I always keep it at 100%.... On my Note 7

[spaminbox]

my truth is i'm glad we're seeing a lot more of ashley carman. she gets to the point, without wasting time and stays on topic so i actually get value from her pieces. she does a good job.

Do you charge your phone all the way to 100%?

[devandevan]

My OCD could never survive unplugging a phone at 90 percent

[scoss]

I used to unplug mine and wake my wife up to remind her to unplug her phone too in the middle of the night when they reached about 90%. So we were all good back then! To the present; Divorce proceedings are going well BTW! 👌🏻

I used to charge my phone overnight and it swells up, after replacing it I never charge it overnight and it’s still working pretty well after 2.5 years

[luuketaylor]

Been doing the 90-20 with my phones for the last 3 or so years, but it's always good to see people busting these battery myths!

[shubhang]

Simply concise, to the point, I love these videos

[Yathuprem]

Does the phone consume electricity when at 100% and chargin?? If yes, 3 billion people charging it overnight cause a lot of electricity .

Glad that's cleared up, Great Job!

I thought (or actually heard from some other sources) that phones and personal electronics won't let you charge them to the real "100%". Because that does create a irreversible state of the lithium-ion reaction. So when your phone says "100%", it's not actually "100%". Maybe it's 90 or something. Same goes to 0%. Your phone will never shutdown till the actual 0% cause you won't be able to charge that battery anymore.

Don't mind me I'm just watching this video on my *Overcharged* Phone

"Go live your truth, keep it 100"

[chrisbrinzo]

I've been working in the repair industry for 3 years now.

The people that have the most power / battery issues are the ones that keep their phones plugged in all the time. Most commonly you'll see swollen batteries, batteries that don't hold a charge, batteries that have erratic charge levels, and phones that just won't charge anymore. Sometimes it's the battery that won't charge, sometimes the power management / charging circuit takes damage.

While phones are getting better and better with charging and power efficiency, it's best not to put current batteries to the test on how much you can charge them.

Lithium Ion batteries typically see a life of around 3 years with regular usage until you notice an exponential falloff in performance.

30-80% in my opinion is the sweet spot of batteries.

Don't keep them at 100% for extended periods and don't let them hit 0% and stay at 0% for extended periods and you'll have a happy battery.

I've had cases where loved ones are in the hospital for weeks or months and they use their phone plugged in for the entirety of the time. Sure enough, their phone barely stays on after it's unplugged or it finally stops charging.

Either way, the information in the video is pretty accurate.

Be nice to your battery and it will thank you.

So basically this video neither confirms nor debunk the caption.. 🤔🤔 so what was the essence of this video anyway?? Just thinking out loud here

[edilawitseyoum]

I’m still confused cuz I usually overcharge like my phone is on charge all day even if it’s at 100

[EspHack]

or phones could be actually smart and have a slider to set how much you want as maximum charge, like teslas do, problem solved, you can leave it plugged in all day at 85%

[invinciblemode]

Awesome vid, straight to the point, didn't waste any of my time.

[SciencewithKatie]

When I bought my new phone I only charged it during the day as I was terrified I was gonna ruin the battery over night! 😬

[anujs]

I agree with the first method. Also, when it reaches 100% DO NOT disconnect it. By constantly charging and discharging, your overall battery life will get worse over time.
