Why Your Phone Battery Dies So Fast (You're Charging It Wrong!)

Your phone battery is dying faster than it should, and it's probably because you're making the same charging mistakes as 99% of people! Think you're being smart by charging your phone overnight? Think again. While your phone is sitting at 100% for 8+ hours, you're actually slowly killing your lithium battery. These batteries weren't designed to stay at full charge - they hate it. THE GOLDEN RULE: Keep your battery between 20% and 80% This simple trick alone can extend your battery's lifespan by months or even years. But here's where it gets really interesting... The #1 battery killer isn't what you think. It's not overcharging - it's HEAT. And you're creating it every single day without realizing it. That thick protective case you love? It's trapping heat while your phone charges, slowly cooking your battery from the inside out. Remove it during charging and you could literally double your battery's lifespan. Wireless chargers are even worse heat generators. They're convenient but they're silently destroying your battery with every use. BONUS TIP: Put your phone in airplane mode while charging and watch your charging time get cut in HALF. Your phone won't be working overtime trying to maintain connections while powering up. These simple changes cost nothing but could save you hundreds on battery replacements and new phones. Your future self will thank you. Which tip surprised you the most?
