Charging Limit Feature

To maintain battery health, companies are now offering the option to charge phones up to 80 or 90 percent. This means users can now set the charging limit. The purpose of this feature is to ensure the phone performs better and doesn't need to be replaced prematurely. Experts advise against leaving your phone on charge overnight. Also, always use the original charger provided by the manufacturer. If the phone is overheating, you should avoid charging it with that charger. Doing this repeatedly directly affects the battery. Very few people pay attention to these things.

Why is 100% charging not ideal?

Experts say that when the battery is fully charged and the charger remains connected, the heat inside the battery gradually increases. This affects the battery's capacity, which slowly starts to decrease. This is why many companies recommend charging the battery only up to 80 percent.
