Over the last few weeks I have been asking my friends about how they charge their phones. There seems to be two extremes.
Method One
Use the phone until the battery is about 90% gone and then put it on the charger. Allow it to fully charge and then take if off the charger. This matches how my phone gets charged when I travel.
Method Two
Every evening the phone is connected to a wall charger next to the bed and the phone is left connected over night. It then charges from 7 to 10 hours every day. The phone never gets run down very far using this method.
The questions is, which method results in a longer battery life?
Most batteries are specified to have say X number of recharge cycles. This changes with manufacture and chemistry.
If the charge controller in the phone does a good job then charging the phone every night causes the phone to run off its battery about 1/3 less hours every day. This in turn, cuts down on the total number of cycles by 1/3 which seems to say the battery should last longer.
Does this make sense?
