First, the type of battery determines the charging rhythm
Different batteries have different "personalities" :
Nickel-metal-hydride batteries: It is recommended to use them up before recharging
Lead-acid batteries: Charge at least once a month
Modern mobile phones and laptops mostly use lithium batteries. It is ideal to keep the battery level between 20% and 80%. Frequent full charging will instead accelerate aging.
Second. Three secrets to prolonging life
Avoid extreme temperatures: Charging at high temperatures can damage the battery
Use the original charger: Mismatched current and voltage are the hidden killers
Regular use: Batteries that have been idle for a long time will "starve to death"
Although fast charging is convenient, it‘s like making people work overtime continuously. It‘s fine to use it occasionally, but relying on it for a long time will shorten the battery‘s "career".
Third, dispel the three major rumors about charging
Rumor 1: New batteries need to be charged for 12 hours to be activated - an outdated practice
Rumor 2: Devices cannot be used while charging - modern circuits have solved this problem
Rumor 3: The lower the battery, the faster the charging - the charging speed is controlled by the circuit
The most scientific approach is: treat charging as you would three meals a day - in small amounts and frequently, and keep it moderate.
