Why You Should Stop Charging Your Phone Battery to 100% and How?

(CLO) Nowadays, phone batteries work very efficiently, even mid-range or low-cost phone models can be used all day with just one charge.

However, instead of just worrying about daily battery life, you should also pay attention to battery life, which is the length of time the battery remains in good condition throughout the life of the device.

One way to extend battery life is to limit the amount of time the battery is at 100% charge. When the battery is full, it is under stress, which reduces its long-term lifespan and causes it to degrade faster.

If you have an iPhone, your device may have learned your charging habits thanks to Optimized Battery Charging. With this feature enabled, you can leave your iPhone plugged in overnight without worrying about it charging too early, as it will delay charging to 100% until closer to when you need it.

If you want more control over your iPhone battery, use the Charge Limit feature. By setting this limit, you can prevent your device from charging to its maximum capacity, which reduces stress on the battery.

You can enable Charging Limit on iPhone 15 and later by going to Settings > Battery > Charging. Here, you can choose to limit charging in 5% increments, from 80% to 100% (note that Optimized Battery Charging can only be enabled when charging to 100%).

According to Apple, using Charging Limit can help extend battery life, and iOS may recommend it based on how you use your device. Even if you only limit charging to 95%, this will still benefit your iPhone's battery in the long run.

However, you don't need to worry too much if you accidentally charge your phone to 100%. "There are many factors that affect battery life, not just charging to 100%," says Patrick Holland, editor of CNET. "Apple and other phone makers have used software to mitigate these effects, while also giving users more control over their battery. But the key is to strike a balance - you shouldn't worry too much about charging your phone to 100%. "
