The most useful advice to preserve your battery is therefore to charge your phone on long fixed beaches in order to avoid small deleterious recharges….
Charging, myths and reality
To understand how to optimize the life of your battery, you have to have in mind, very schematically, how a lithium-ion battery works. During charging, the anode (the + pole) will receive and accumulate electrons from the lithium placed at the cathode (the – pole). The current from the recharge somehow “rips” the energy present…
How to preserve the battery of your mobile phone?
