How and why to charge phones longer? Everyone knows battery problems, and manufacturers charge extra for high-capacity batteries that last. Take care of your phone and it will last longer.
A good flashlight is a must!
What if your cell phone lasted twice as long as usual? No special apps, no expensive chargers. Just because you start charging it differently than before. It sounds like a trick, but this time it’s pure battery chemistry and pretty simple steps that anyone can do.
Most people charge their phone “from zero to full”. It makes sense, but for lithium-ion batteries it represents the biggest burden. Electronics experts point out that the most damage occurs when the battery is kept at 100% for a long time.
Chemically, this is the greatest stress cells receive. Scientists confirmed in 2025 that long-term full charging accelerates degradation up to twice as much compared to partial cycles. Egyptian.
So the more “full charges” the faster the capacity drops. And when you add heat to that, you’re in for a problem. Phones heat up when charging, and if someone leaves them under a pillow or on the dashboard of a car, they lose capacity many times faster.
A post from the YouTube channel will also tell you how to properly charge your phone

Start charging properly
The best charge range is between twenty and eighty percent. It’s simple. Charge more often, but for a shorter time. Instead of waiting for three percent, feel free to connect the cable already at forty. And instead of fully charged, unplug it around eighty.
Just this partial charging extends battery life according to the tests most significantly. Put simply: low temperatures, low voltage, low stress. The phone will reward you for this by aging much more slowly. Sometimes only in a matter of years.
What to do when you need to charge to a hundred?
This is a common question. And the good news is that the occasional full charge isn’t a problem. Once a week, if you know you’ll be out all day, that’s fine. Just don’t do it every day.
In addition, manufacturers today add features such as “optimized charging”. If your phone has them, turn them on. It can slow down the last part of charging and keep the battery in a safe zone for longer, for example overnight. Charging is therefore automatically safer today, but it is still advisable to pay attention to it.
“People often want to replace damaged displays, but also batteries. It’s not cheap, but the main problem is that they treat the new battery just as inappropriately and soon destroy it again.” says Roman Vojtíšek, mobile phone and electronics repairman.
What about fast charging or other settings?
Modern fast chargers are not dangerous in themselves, but they increase the temperature when used frequently. And heat is the biggest enemy of batteries. In practice, therefore, use fast charging only when you absolutely need. But not every day.
Also study the phone settings carefully, where you can also use the offers smart charging a optimizing battery usage phone.
Also, the dark interface is not just a matter of taste. The so-called dark mode also saves the battery, or consumes less energy.
This also applies to permanently switched on various functions, such as the current location, Wi-Fi search and the like. Are you in the woods? Turn off , you can only use data here anyway.
