This is a mistake I tend to make regularly. As soon as I see that my battery is low, hop I recharge it quickly. To my credit, I’ve always heard that you shouldn’t wait until the battery is empty to plug in your phone. But actually it depends on the model. This is not necessarily a good idea for all smartphones. For example, for the iPhone battery, it is recommended to let them fully discharge once a month. It’s Apple who says so, as we explain to you here.
How to avoid this error?
It’s easy. Once a month, allow the iPhone battery to discharge completely. When it is completely empty, reload it. It’s a simple way to preserve it longer and save money.
