Most people charge their phones overnight. When this is the case, the phone is often left plugged in for eight hours or more, even though it takes a few hours at most to fully charge the battery. Smartphones are equipped with lithium-ion batteries, which have the advantage of fast charging, but are damaged when exposed to very high voltages. Overcharging can also cause the battery to overheat and, in some cases, even catch fire. We have seen some phones catch fire.
To prevent this, most phone manufacturers have developed phones that automatically stop charging when the battery is full. But there's a catch: even when you're not using your phone, your battery will still drain slightly. When the battery drops below a certain level, it starts charging again until it reaches 100%, and this process is repeated several times during the night. These many "mini-charges" wear out the battery prematurely and cause the phone to overheat.
Moreover, the phone is not the only thing that consumes energy. If the battery is 100% charged and the charger is plugged in, the phone continues to draw electricity. This is an unnecessary waste of energy.
So what should be done to extend the battery life? For this, it is recommended to always keep the charge between 30% and 80%; that is, do not wait for the battery to completely drain or charge it to the maximum.
So now you know where to report your lost item if you lose your phone.
