Default Phone Battery...

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......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

Not a clue.
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 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

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

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