Do you let your phone hit zero before recharging it?

No. That used to be a thing with the older NiCd batteries where there was a "memory effect" that meant charging too soon damaged the battery capacity but I understand with the newer technologies this isn't so much of an issue.

I don't use my phone a lot, so it can go a few days without being charged. But generally when it's below 50% it gets plugged in.

I did that once. I plugged it in and it was dead. I couldn't figure how to get it working again then went der der der after I restarted it then it was okay. I recharge it way sooner now!

@BeJeweled der der der is my word of the day 😁

Lilymoon · F
@SW-User Yup... You listen to music on it?

@Lilymoon oh yes.. 6000 song library at present

@SW-User Whoa nice 🎶
I rely so heavily on my phone for business. I usually have it plugged in to charge in my home, the office, or the car. Even with regular use I rarely see it go below 50%.

I don't let it It kind of just does it on its own It doesn't listen to me Heck it didn't even work unless it wants to
Yes I still use my 2006 flip phone and it drains like a mofo

depends on what Im doing that day, normally it gets to 20-30% before I charge it, I top it up from like 80% too
Why? Are you going to charge mine? Sure I will send it to you, make sure it charged fast. Lol

It's never happened, but not by design. I just never use my phone that much.

No, but I also don't use it that much, so charging it daily isn't a requirement.
Nimbus · M
The ideal time to charge is 9% and end at 93% I hear :)
Lilymoon · F
@Nimbus really...
Nimbus · M
@Lilymoon Yep, extends battery life :)

What do you think I am? Some kind of vulgarian? Of course not.

I do it when the battery icon turns red
CalmPassions · 31-35, M
All of my phones get plugged in around 20%.
JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M
I've got a good battery on mine and its usually <20% at night. That's when I recharge
SmoothKnight · 51-55, M
Never. I'm fanatical about keeping it charged up.

Nah i don't like it hitting zero, cause i get worried about being unable to tell if it's charging after that
Justenjoyit · 56-60, M
Usually down to 2 or 3 % before charging everytime
Lilymoon · F
