Charging your IPad/Phone

[sleleen]

Just wondering how long you all leave your phones/ipads on charge for? Do you wait till 100, do you leave it in all night? Cause im worried mine will go too warm if ah left it in all night?

[Matthew.]

I leave it in all night every night unless above 90% which is probably really irresponsible tbh :worry:

[montblanc]

i charge it all night if i have to get up early for school or something :worry:

but in the summer like this i don't charge my phone during the night (unless i have to get up the next morning to go somewhere)

[JerseyWins]

Yeah I definitely leave it charging past 100% plenty of times... don't seem to see an over-heating issue or anything from it :think:

Some say its not good for the battery to leave your phone on charge for long periods, but it's never caused me any problems

I read that the battery automatically cuts off from charging when it reaches 100% anyway (or the power it receives is like a tiny trickle compared to when it’s actually charging) so it’s completely safe afaik

Unless i didn’t actually read that and just imagined it icr

i also thought this was the case so there must be some truth to it.

my phone however must be broken or something because lately i’ve been waking up to it being HOT :worry:

I always leave my devices overnight and they never overheat, they’ll only overheat if I’m charging and using at the same time.

Charge it every time im in the car and everytime i go to sleep

yes, that's true, but because it cuts out the charging, the phone then goes into a cycle of losing a little bit of charge and then charging up again, which obviously increments the number of charge cycles on your battery. Which apparently affects the batter longevity

[GoldHeart]

Yeah I leave them plugged in overnight most of the time but the tablets are usually switched off but the phones aren't.

But they also get unplugged a few times,so it's not soo bad

[Jessica.]

I often charge over night, hasn't caused any problems, though I don't have any silly apple devices

I alter settings to stop the battery draining

[smudgie]

I just pop mine on the charger pad next to my chair.
Charges in no time and the case gets a bit warm.

My new phone stops charging at 100% anyway and I think it doesn't even try to recharge until my pattern is put in because it makes that noise as soon as I do it.
