Leaving the mobile charging for many hours is not bad for the battery

Many users, and some who claim to be an expert, believe that leaving the mobile charging for many hours is bad for the battery, that this will damage the battery. But the truth is that this is false. Batteries are not damaged by leaving them charging for many hours.

Battery

Leaving the mobile charging for many hours is usually considered a negative thing. In fact, some claim that this damages batteries, when in fact it is not. It must be said that it is not the best for the battery either, but no defect in the battery can be due to having left the battery charging for many hours. Why? Because basically when the battery reaches 100% the mobile stops charging the battery. In fact, in general, almost all mobiles let the battery level drop again by a small percentage and then they recharge the battery to 100%.

Do not be fooled

The big problem with this is that it is an argument that can be used in the store where you bought the mobile if you have a problem with the battery. In fact, it is not uncommon to find the case in which a store claims that a battery "has swollen" from having had the mobile charging for many hours. That is a lie. It is not something that can happen for this reason.

What is the ideal charge for a battery? However, as we have already said, it is not ideal that the mobile is charging for many hours. What is the ideal then? Ideally, the smartphone should always have between 30% and 70% battery, that it is not close to the minimum or the maximum, that it is neither fully charged nor fully discharged. That is the ideal. But at the end of the day, it is not particularly relevant either. Changing a battery is not very expensive. The battery will end up deteriorating over time as well, and today speaking of "the ideal" in the case of batteries has more to do with theory than reality. But it is good to know what is real and what is not, to avoid being deceived in the store where you bought your mobile if you have a problem with it.
