How low do you allow the battery on your phone to get before you charge it?

I dont like mine going under 50%

...yeah I think I’m probably like you with that, Josy...:laugh:...I start to get edgy when it heads toward that 50%...I’m the same with my fuel tank as well...I could never let it get to nearly empty...

Mine is forever below 10%, I’m really bad for it. I’m lazy at charging it

Sometimes though I feel I should let it drain to around 10/20 to stop it overcharging? Idk if its just me

Not a clue.:shrug:
I pop it on the charger pad when I get up, if it pings and I know it’s charging then I leave it a while until it gets warm then take it off.

Yeah, anything below the 50 mark and I begin to feel uncomfortable. Thankfully my battery is pretty good and it’s always still going by the time I go to bed.

I let mine run down to zero and sometime don’t recharge for a bit :omgno:

I read somwhere that Apple products can’t actually overcharge.

I know you’re meant to let your battery run out every once in awhile. When I got my new iPad I thought I’d give it a try and be more economical with the charging, but it didn’t make a difference, so now I just keep it as high as possible.

15% but I let mine drain to 0% now and then because it's good for the battery iirc

Mines regularly at 3%......usually if I'm waiting for must not be missed phone call. I do the same with petrol in my car too though.....I run that until its a risk I won't make it to the petrol station :laugh:

I always wait until it runs out completely and turns off itself to charge it again fully to 100%

Let it die unless I'm using it when it's down to something like 5%.

Josy
12-09-2019, 08:54 PM
All these people that let it die :omgno:

I tend to not let mine go below 30% as sometimes it’s been on like 22% and it just dies randomly

I never ever let it die but often find myself running around for a charger when it gets to 1%

I put mine on charge every night so it very rarely goes below 70%

I used to be pretty awful with it, always below 20-10% but then I started leaving an old charger in my car at all times so I'm always charging it then. Now I'm at least above 30% most of the time.

20% ish is usually the lowest I let it go, once that starts decreasing I get worried!

I read the most efficient way to recharge your phone is to keep the battery charge between 20% and 80%.

I rarely manage that though. It's usually down to a few percent.

I just read this back and it sounds exactly like one of those cheesy adverts that's trying to sell a product :skull: :skull: :skull:

I don't really understand the worry about letting it fall below a certain percentage, what will happen ....what won't you be able to do apart from take or make a call and check the internet... I like it when people can't reach me for an hour or so, its liberating!

I don't usually let it die, but it gets down to 5/10% quite often, I like to turn it off to charge it though, I feel like it's faster.

Whenever I see a plug really. I don’t trust it to be honest with me.

ALways ends up going off before I charge it. Not that I have one at the moment, as james threw a strop with me, and chucked my phone and it hit the corner of the table, and now the screens just all weird and purpl and unreadable :bored:
