Everyone thinks rechargeable batteries are rather invincible and straight-forward; as long as the phone is charged, everything is all right. What is easy to overlook, Android batteries are not magic, and not all phone charges are created equal. Use the to <em>battery saver feature<\/em> in <strong>dfndr performance<\/strong> to monitor your phone\u2019s charging process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.appsflyer.com\/com.psafe.msuite?pid=MKT_BLOG_US&amp;c=shouldnt_charge_your_phone_battery_from_0_to_100\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"352\" height=\"57\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Prancheta-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Prancheta-2.png 352w, https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Prancheta-2-300x49.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battery saver will notify you when it\u2019s time to unplug your phone so that you can prevent damage to your phone\u2019s battery.

It\u2019s never a good idea to completely drain your phone\u2019s battery day after day. Your phone uses a lithium-ion battery, which has a finite number of times that it can be recharged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re charging your phone from 0% to 100% every day, that counts as one charge cycle, meaning that you\u2019re quickly shortening your battery\u2019s lifespan. If your phone only has the capacity for 300-500 cycles, then charging your phone from 0% to 100% will quickly reduce your battery\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you\u2019re stuck in a bind and need to charge your phone from 0% to 100%, you won\u2019t kill your battery doing so now and then. It\u2019s repeatedly practicing this habit that kills your phone\u2019s battery. If you spent a lot of money on a new smartphone, then odds are, you want your phone to last a while. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to pay attention to how your phone charges so that you can extend your phone\u2019s overall lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Charge Your Phone<br><\/strong>Many experts recommend that smartphone owners should follow the 40-80 rule, which means that you should plug in your phone once it falls to 40% and then charge it until it reaches 80%. That way, you\u2019ll be able to extend your phone battery\u2019s capacity for recharges. Don\u2019t worry, though, if your phone falls below 40% every once in a while \u2014 just make sure to only charge it to 80% and to keep a charger nearby in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has your battery been dying faster and faster lately?
