Don't do this — 5 mistakes that 'kill' your smartphone battery.

During the charging of a smartphone, it is important to avoid bad habits in order not to shorten the lifespan of its battery. Using low-quality chargers or leaving your phone charging overnight can damage the battery and the device as a whole.

What harms a smartphone battery

Charging with non-original or low-quality chargers can cause voltage spikes and damage the battery. Leaving the phone charging overnight or using it while charging is also not beneficial for the battery. Full discharges of the battery, as well as extreme temperatures, also negatively affect its performance.

For safe charging, it is recommended to use only original or certified chargers. Disconnect the phone from the network after full charging and do not use it during this process. It is also important to ensure ventilation of the room while charging and to avoid high temperatures.

Experts emphasize that the cost of chargers for smartphones can vary from a few dozen to a hundred hryvnias, but high price does not always guarantee quality. In some cases, it is better to pay extra for trusted products that will keep your battery and phone overall.
