Does it matter if I charge my cellphone for more than 6 hours continuously?

Question

Everyday I keep my mobile phone for charging overnight. I would like to know if it has any detrimental effect if charged for more time than required.

Answer 1

It could drain out the battery if you overcharge it. A good rule of thumb is to charge only when the battery is low until it's fully charged. Then take it off the charger until the next time it's low.

Answer 2

It depends on how low the charge is before you start charging again. If the battery is low on charge when you start charging...okay thats good...but...if you are hooking it up to charge on a regular basis and you still have two or more bars....not good. It is healthy for the battery to be drained almost completely and then charged up...not necessarily every time but in general, this is the rule.

As far as the amount of time spent on the charger...if it is a newer phone it should kick off the incoming current when the battery charge is complete without harm.

Take your phone off the charger at full charge...then keep your phone off the charger and see how long it lasts...with normal use
it should last a day and a half to two days before needing a charge...remember batterys have a life span...there will come a time when a replacement battery is needed.

My experience is that when a battery is charged as frequent as yours has been...It pretty much kills the life of the battery and its performance.

One more thing..when and if you get a new battery...let it charge complete before first use.

merchants inform you this via fact it rather is a precautionary degree, maximum Li-Ion battery packs basically require a three-5 hour fee on a clean or drained p.c.. yet via fact a p[hone might have sat on a shelf for a on a similar time because it stands the threat of p.c.. failure in case you attempt to means up the telephone. The Li-Ion battery chemistry shares interior a similar characteristics as lead acid variety batteries or vehicle batteries interior the undeniable fact that an entire and finished drain destroys the cells and because Li-Ion batteries are rediculouslyu high priced to replace it rather is powerful to make rather advantageous you have a solid first fee. additionally Li-Ion packs artwork the excellent while positioned with the aid of a pair fee and discharge cycles.

Answer 4

it really matters on what phone and charger you have because most phones don't have an effect on large amounts of charging because once the battery is full it really cuts off the charging connection and stops charging

Answer 5

You really shouldn't. It can stress the battery to overcharge it. Let it lose most of its charge before plugging it in again, and then only charge it when it needs it. It should NOT need it every night, unless you're talking non-stop all day.

Answer 6

let it be empty before u charge it but its ok to let the charger on for 6 hours since the lithium ion batteries are safe and it wont be over charge

Answer 7

I dont believe it does. Though to keep the life of your battery, it's advised to let the battery drain low before recharging rather then recharging every time it loses a bar or two.

Answer 8

it depends on the phone. it will say on the manual whether is would be harmful on the phone or not. my motorola for example indicated on the manual that leaving the phone plugged even after it has fully charged wll not in any way harm my phone.

Answer 9

None that I know of. To be on the safe side, see what the manual says.
