when it is low batterry. I usually do not allow the battery to be drained.

[Tendz]

I normally charge my phone at 20% or 30%. Not less than that.

[simplyfred]

I think, I usually charge my battery when it reach 10 to 15 percent. Sometimes I am using my cellphone while zcharging so I notice that the battery drain so much now.

[grecy0905]

I drain it. I let the phone dead before charging. I had proven that the battery charged last longer if I do it. I will let it charge for an hour. I do not use it, I don't even open the phone until it is fully charge. I do not use the phone in texting or calling when the charge is 20%. What I do is to play music or videos saved on my folder to drain it.

[SWAYA27]

At 15% I put my cell phone at charge.

[A K Rao]

Normally i recharge my battery when it is almost dead say when reaches 5% or so . This thing helps in maintaining charging cycles of battery in a proper way and they say that in enhances the battery life! I never had any problem with my phone battery so far with this type of recharging!

[Katriona_22]

I usually charge at 15%, I don't wait for it to drain it somehow ruins my battery.

[rakski]

I charge my phone whenever it is 30-40% already.

[Lushh]

I usually charge mine when it's down to 2% or so. I just turn it off at this time and leave it to come back to 100% before I start using it again.

[justchilltoya]

I need to stop but i let my phone get down to 5%. There has has been times its been at 2% lol. I know that is not good. I find myself racing to find a charger before it shuts off.

[traceh]

I usually charge it when it reaches the red which is about %10.

[rsoni]

my parents my phone was at 20% so I charged it to 60% before leaving just so it could be charged a bit. Sometimes I charge it at 50% or lower.

when it reaches the red which is about %10.

[ptrikha21]

some say 40%; some say 20%, some say 10%, some say until it shuts down.

so,who is correct ?

i usually charge at 15%

would the battery life shorten?

I try to start charging when the reading dips below 30%. However, at times, due to laziness or unavoidable reasons, I start at 10% or even lesser.
[color=#0000BF]However, starting at such a low reading, or when the mobile is about to shut down is not a good practice.[/color]

[ptrikha21]

I have set an alert such that when my battery level reaches 30%, it displays a particular icon on the screen. I thus frequently charge it when it hits the 30% level.

Yes I think 30% level is a good one to start charging.
