You might think charging your phone requires little to no care, but your nonchalant habits might compromise your phone's battery health. Recognize any of these habits?

• If you've developed a habit of charging your phone up to 100%, 

• If you often wait till your phone dies to start charging,

• You let your phone overheat.

If you identify with any of the above charging mistakes, we feel bad for your phone. Here's what you can do to preserve your phone's battery life span. 

1. Don't Charge Phone Overnight

Instead, opt for partial charging. It simply means to keep your phone battery up to 80% instead of 100%.  Once it goes down to, say, 40%, start charging it again. The thumb rule is simple: Never let it go up to 100% or down to 0%. 

2. Avoid Letting Your Phone Withstand Extreme Temperatures

Lithium batteries in most smartphones are common to deteriorate over time but if you expose your device to extreme heat, it may drive the process faster. 

Avoid this by not using your phone while you charge and putting your device in a cool place while charging— anywhere with good ventilation. 

3. Be Weary Of Fast Charging Devices

While the market is saturated with instant charging devices, it is best to avoid them at all costs if you want to preserve your battery. The safest way is to strictly opt for charging devices approved by your phone provider.
