Is it okay to unplug the phone before it is fully charged?

Many phone users have the habit of unplugging the battery before it is fully charged, or charging intermittently.

Is it okay to unplug the phone before it is fully charged?

It may seem like a bad habit, but it is true. The nature of Lithium-ion batteries in phones does not require a full charge.

You should keep the battery at 20 - 80%, which is the safest area for your phone. Don't wait until it's 100% before unplugging the charger. Also, don't wait until the battery is completely drained before plugging it in. Plug it in as soon as you get the notification (usually around 20%).

Notes on safe phone charging

You should also note how to charge your phone safely to extend battery life as well as limit the worst situation happening to your phone, specifically as follows:

Check charger quality before use

To ensure the safety of your phone, before plugging it into the power source, carefully check the cable and charging cord to see if it is of good quality, is tight enough, has the outer protective rubber layer peeled off, is there any gap due to stretching, or is the internal wire exposed...

This is the top note before charging the device.

Use genuine chargers of clear origin

Currently, the situation of fake chargers, counterfeit chargers, and chargers of unclear origin are rampant in the market. This type of charger is often cheap, appealing to the psychology of buyers. However, when used, it is very dangerous and can cause fire or explosion, negatively affecting your phone.

Using genuine chargers with clear origins will increase battery life and ensure your safety. Please choose to buy from reputable charger suppliers.

Limit using the device while it is charging.

The habit of using your phone while charging will cause your battery to overheat, causing the battery to fail. Even charging the phone on a high voltage current will cause the device to heat up, and if you continue to use it while charging, the temperature will increase even more, which can easily lead to fire or electric shock.

Do not charge in humid places, it can cause short circuit and explosion.

This is a rather unlikely case, but you should still be careful in cases like when you just washed your hands and your hands are still wet but you still plug in the charger, or the charging cord is too tangled around the charging dock.

Store charging cables properly

Proper storage will help limit damage to your charging cable. Keep the charging cable in a cool, dry place, roll it up after use to avoid tangling, avoid stretching the charging cable which can cause the internal wires to break.
