Here are 3 common mistakes to avoid when charging your phone:
⚠️ 1. Using your phone while it’s charging (especially heavy use)
Playing games, video calls, or streaming while charging can:
- Overheat the device
- Slow charging speed
- Put extra strain on the battery over time
⚠️ 2. Using cheap or fake chargers
Low-quality chargers can:
- Damage battery health
- Charge unevenly
- In rare cases, cause overheating or safety risks
Always use certified or original chargers when possible.
⚠️ 3. Letting your battery constantly hit 0% or stay at 100% for too long
Modern batteries don’t like extremes:
- Deep discharges (0%) stress the battery
- Sitting at 100% for long periods can wear it faster
👉 Best range for long-term health: roughly 20%–80%
