Certain people think that frequent charging of a phone battery reduces the life of such battery. These people thereby usually charge their phone batteries when the batteries are at almost zero percent charge level.

I do it at 5%. I have this option on my mobile that I can click the battery saver and that 5% will last for whole 9 hours if I am not using my mobile. When I can charge it at that percent, I charged it at 5% only. Sometimes I drain it when I am not using the phone for whole day.

Yeah, I heard something about that. To be exact, one of my relatives warned me that it is better to drain your battery completely before charging it. I don't know if it's a myth or not, I'll have to read up on it.

I charge it when it dies.
Before I used to charge and play or surf on my smartphones and they all had a very short battery life.
Now I don't do that any more and I always shut down WiFi and data connection during the night.

I think it's best to charge it when it is fully empty. I finished the high school for this.

So, for best battery life let it fully charge (0% to 100%), it will really last longer.
It's not so hard to change your battery too.

same case with me. When my battery drops to 15% it notifies me to charge. That's when I normally charge.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 which switches automatically from wifi to 4G if I am out and about but occasionally it doesn't and I find I am using my data when I needn't be. I let it get quite low and then charge it to 100% unless I'm going out and need it before it's fully charged.

I'm due for an upgrade as I have almost come to the end of my 2 year contract and I notice the battery needs charging twice as much as it did when I first got it. They're not like the early phones which were just used for texts and calls .. I only had to charge those every 3-4 days!.

Currently I am charging at 7% and onwards. So surely it may take time for me to chargee dual SIM phone that I have here.

My smartphone has prompted me to recharge it when the battery energy level is 20% If I don't have the available time to recharge it, it prompts me again to avail the energy saving feature of my phone. When I avail of that, those apps which consume much battery are turned off or disabled until my battery energy is capable to run them.

I understand modern batteries should be charged before they are empty to ensure battery health.

I tend to charge them if it's under 90%. I'm also of an age where you ought to use the toilet if it's available, even if you don't need to. These two habits probably go together.

If I know I'm gonna be out most of the day, I just make sure it's fully charged, it doesn't matter how low it is. I know we now have power banks, but I have yet to get round to getting one because I want a really good one. But if I'm home, I let it drain out as much as possible before I recharge it.

I recharge my phone when the battery level goes below 15%. I have set it to notify me when it does so. I also pack a power bank to charge it when am moving around because I really hate being unreachable.

I charge my cell phone around 30% and never let it reach 100%, this way the battery lasts longer. If you want to charge your cell phone properly check this article:

I just charge it if it goes below 40% and that's only if I'm able to charge it if I'm at home and have no plans to be anywhere I'll let it run till it shuts down.

I usually charge my phone at 10% battery. But sometimes, when I should go somewhere and I am going to need my phone I charge it even on 50%. Sometimes I charge it when it shuts down.
