It being just a cell phone and as long as u don't keep it in all night it should be ok but if your battery in your car is shi... then it might kill the battery just like if you leave a light on in your car by morning your car won't start cuz the battery is dead.

It will affect the battery, but problably not enough to run it down unless the battery is bad. Cell phone batteries don't require nearly the amount of charge that a car battery has. All of the other stuff you hear is bologna.

nothing a cell phone doesn't draw enough amperage to deplete your car battery by charging it, with in reason, don't buy a car and let it sit there for three years just to charge your cell phone.
Cell phones regulate themselves they turn the charger on and off inside themselves. you probably use more amperage running out opening the doors to see if it is charged yet
don't worry about it

probably nothing if you can use the power port with the ignition off. If you must turn on the ignition to have power to the port or cigarette lighter you will cause drainage to the car battery. In older cars with ignition points you can burn them if the distributer is rotated to cause contact. Most cell phones have batteries which only have 100 to 500 milliamps which by themselves won't drain or damage much.

Depending on how long the battery is charging it will slowly kill the battery on the car over an extremely long period of time, so I wouldn't worry about it dying anytime soon.

Mice and insects have crawled in to each and every darkish nook and chewed by skill of the wires at the same time as making use of the mildewed interior for a rodent bathing room,it extremely is in the adventure that they have got not been killed by technique of the mothballs and rusty products of metallic sticking out from the oil pan,radiator,brake traces and exhaust gadget.Then there is that small count of the gas turning to varnish contained in the carb and water and rust filled tank it is about to fall out from corrosion.and do not ignore the rotted rubber seals and tires alongside with the useless battery.There also may be minor issues of the trans and brakes.

If the car is not running, the car battery is not recharging .
Anything drawing on the car battery depletes it , obviously, if it is not being recharged (although cell phones are minimal draw) .

It won't kill your battery as you are using the alternator. if you have a bad alternator though, it will kill the battery, but seeing as it is not pulling too much amperage to just charge your cell phone, it won't hurt a thing.

Nothing if the (car) battery is in good shape. I do it all the time.

I wouldn't do this *all* the time, as it will kill the battery in the long run, but once in awhile is probably okay.
