How often should you charge your battery?

how often do you charge your battery

Do you charge your phone every day and keep it toped up or let it run down very low before charging?

Re: how often do you charge your battery

I let mine run down low before charging. Around 20% or so.

On my iPhone 5S, I can go two days between charges and on my iPhone 6, I can go three days between charges. I am not a heavy user.

Whenever it's too low and depending on if I have somewhere to go.

I let mine run down to about 10% or lower then charge. I have a portable battery pack so if I'm out & about, I'll still be able to charge. My battery usually lasts about a day & a half.

Re: how often do you charge your battery

I charge my 6+ every night. It doesn't make any sense to let the battery going completely down and wait until I charge it again. I don't know what will happen the next day, so it's good to have the phone fully charged instead of taking a charger and a cable with me.

Maybe a spontaneous trip somewhere with friends and you need some maps, take a lot of pictures and videos, need a flashlight etc. So just charge it and you don't have to think about battery problems

I'm using an iPhone 6+, which has a really amazing battery, still I want to be one the safe side

I charge as needed.
I generally plug in at night. But if I've been on longer than normal I plug in at work before I leave for the train.

I usually let my battery run down to the point of being depleted and then charge it overnight. A few of those nights, I'll charge it with the device powered off.

I have an iphone 4S. I let it run down to about 10% if I am home. I always charge it overnight, but sometimes it needs charged in the afternoon as well. :smile: I'm a heavy user so I even have to carry around a backup battery pack.

Haha I also had an iPhone 4s and was in the same situation, a power user and always needed to charge and to take a battery pack with me

That's why I got an iPhone 6+, so I don't have to worry about battery anymore

Re: how often do you charge your battery

I always let mine die completely before plugging in, and then I let it completely charge.

I read an article last week about Li-On batteries being "topped off" whenever possible and not letting discharge below 50%.

I have mixed feelings though.

I charge my nightly regardless of what it is showing.
I run to down to about 5% about once a month.
Good Luck

Once a day MAX.... Usually at night or the early morning before I hit the studio

Re: how often do you charge your battery

I charge mine every night, same as many here. I am not a heavy user because I fear my phone will die before the days through if I were to become one. Hopefully the 6 Plus can help me there.
