How low do you go..............................

[felloffthetruck]

before charging your battery?

I like to keep mine above 50% and was wondering if it was better to drain the battery a little lower before charging?

 

[anon(10000748)]

I try to charge mine as often as possible but usually end up with it down near 10% before i charge it

 

[TheLegoJoker]

Depends. If I’m out during the day playing Pokémon Go (yes, I still play it ) then I like to top it off because it eats the battery. Otherwise, my usage allows me to be between 10-20% by bedtime and that’s plenty. I’ve been down to 1% but haven’t actually killed it yet.

I still get jittery around 30%. Usually I don’t go any lower than 20%, but I will sometimes get it down to around 10% before charging. But usually 25-35% is where I charge again.

Usually below 40% I'll charge it

 

[nnahorski]

I don’t have a set %, but place mine on the charger for half and hour or so before I leave work and then plug mine in overnight to charge.

 

[tbernardi]

Usually 30%

i really don’t have a set percentage before charging. Up until recently, I’d let my iPhone charge overnight l, regardless of the amount of charge left. Now that I typically keep my iPhone of the wireless charger at my desk throughout the day, I rarely charge it overnight, with the exception of the weekend.

Kind of depends on what my plans are. I don't really pay much attention to where my phone is unless I know it will be a while before I can charge it again and I'll need a sufficient charge.

 

[eyecrispy]

I charge overnight and don’t usually think about it again until bedtime. Sometimes I have to charge during the day if I have nothing else to do but play on the device. Rarely happens.

Same here. Percent doesn't matter, i plug it in every night. It is usually over 50 anyway.

Don't really have a percentage at which I'll look at my phone and say, "oh it's time to charge my phone" but I always charge at bedtime.

 

[anon(5630457)]

I charge mine up at work, but I never leave it on the charger. Usually it's around 70% left when I throw it on the charger before I leave work. I don't charge it up overnight at all because I used to do that with the Note 7 and we all know what happened to those devices.

 

[TripleOne]

It depends.
I always top up throughout the day if I know I’ll be out at night.

 

[Tartarus]

I’m a 100 percenter. I top it up whenever I can.

 

[TripleOne]

I’m a 100 percenter. I top it up whenever I can.

Yeah, it’s always nice to know that the device is juiced up before leaving.

 

[ZOFOURTWENTY]

My threshold is 30% but if I ever have to charge throughout the day I will ALWAYS charge up to 100%. It’s this OCD thing I do. I really want a Smart Battery Case for the X because that eliminates having to try to plan my charge if I’m going out and need a charge

 

[Rob Phillips]

I start getting nervous right around 50%. As a father of two boys who are as clumsy as I am I’m always worried that something will happen and my phone will be half dead. Luckily my iPhone X doesn’t like me knowing battery percentage without some effort.

 

[violetjune]

About a week ago I let it hit 2% before plugging it in.... true story

But normally I plug it in at bedtime. It’s usually around 60% give or take a few %.

Right now it’s at 70% and I’ve used it all day listening to music, nothing else really!
Pretty impressed with the battery
