Leaving a lithium battery charging for a long time, even when it’s already 100% can degrade it.
Most devices have failsafes against this, but I still always try to not leave a device charging if its already mostly full… perhaps it’s just me being paranoid, but what I rather do is set up rules so that the phone automatically goes into airplane/battery saving mode at night.
Battery tech is so much smarter now this is barely a concern these days, especially for phones. I feel like my modern devices don’t lose any capacity over the 2 or so years I have them.
Are there people that don’t plug their phone in at night? Why?
