You might not realize it, but the way you charge your phone can strongly affect battery lifespan, electricity costs, and safety. Modern batteries are built for a limited number of charge cycles, so avoid fully charging or fully draining them. We would like to share some tips on proper charging to help you get the most from your phone and stay safe.

1. You never take your charger out of the outlet.



A plugged-in charger draws power continuously, even when the phone is not attached, which increases your electricity bill. The transformer also emits heat that can build up and ignite nearby objects, or in very humid air, short-circuit and cause a fire.
Always unplug the charger from the outlet when not in use.
