It is tempting to plug in your phone before bed and let it charge while you sleep. However, leaving your device connected for hours after it reaches full charge is not healthy for the battery. Modern smartphones have safety features to prevent overcharging, but the constant trickle charge to maintain 100% still generates heat. Over time, that heat can damage the battery and reduce its capacity. A better habit is to charge your phone earlier in the evening and unplug it before going to bed.
Watch Out for Heat
Heat is a major enemy of battery health. Charging your phone in heated settings, such as inside a car in the sun, or using it excessively while charging might cause overheating. This reduces the battery’s ability to store charge. Always charge your phone in a cool, well-ventilated place, and avoid putting it under cushions or thick coverings when plugged in.
