Advice Request When do you start charging your smartphone?

[Ink]

At what percentage do you decide is the best time for you to charge your own smartphone?

How often do you keep it above 50%?

How often do you let your battery drain below 15%?

 

[Ink]

I usually wait until it reaches under 20%, then charge depending on time/day. Battery care will kick in if left overnight, although I mostly charge in mornings or evenings.

 

[Deletedmessiah]

I usually charge when its between 20-25%, sometimes below 20%.

 

[bayasdev]

Most of the time below 20%

 

[struppigel]

It's not dependend on the percentage for me (unless really low). I just plug it in when I go to sleep.

I start loading at ~30% until ~90% and only charge it in the evening/ before i go to sleep.

This provide best lifetime.

I usually charge it in the afternoon or evening and battery is usually in 60-80% full.

 

[ANNOx]

When its below 30% most of the times .

 

[enaph]

Usually when it's between 40 and 60% and load it up to 100%.

 

[Protomartyr]

I usually charge 40% or below but I rarely let it fall below 20%. I charge it to 100% then disconnect and restart the phone.

 

[Digmor Crusher]

Basically whenever I notice it needs charging, can be anywhere between 5 to 50%. I usually only look at it around 5 times a day.

 

[McLovin]

Majority of the time I wait till it has under 20% before I put it on charge. Even then I just enable the power saver mode till it's under 10% to put on charge.

 

[SpiderWeb]

At around 2-6%

 

[Evjl's Rain]

I charge my phone at the end of the second or the third day, usually around 10-20%, sometimes above 20%
my phone is a battery monster

in the past, I charged my phone everyday regardless of what percentage it had because the battery was small even from 100%

 

[The_King]

I start around 40% and stop between 80-90%.

If the article i read about prolonging your battery life is true then this should triple or even quadruple expected battery life.

Opposed to fully discharing your battery and charging it to 100% on a regular basis.

 

[Nevi]

Usually I try to not go under 20%, before I charge. And when I charge, I stop at around 80%. My battery on my Iphone is on 96% maximum performance capacity, and I bought it late 2017. I do think it helps the battery, not let it go all the way down to 0%, and charge it to 100% every time. But then I close it every night, after midnight. That has probably helped a lot. But I admit I dont know about all the battery theories. Some say do that, and another something else.

Restarting an android phone once a week is good for it actually. Even google recommends it. Don't know about iPhones.
