Charging a smartphone may seem like a simple matter of plugging it into a charger and waiting for the battery to reach 100%. However, this approach can negatively impact the battery and shorten its lifespan. To prevent premature battery wear and tear, there are a few important rules to follow.

Can I charge my phone several times a day?

One of the most frequently asked questions is whether it’s harmful to charge your smartphone two or even three times a day. In fact, frequent charging isn’t harmful to the battery as long as you avoid letting it drop below 20%. The optimal charge level is between 30-80%, which helps extend battery life.

Your text is clear and well-written! Here's a slight refinement for smoothness and clarity:

Experts do not recommend charging your smartphone to 100% every time, as this can accelerate battery degradation. If possible, it’s better to charge the device when the battery drops to 20-30% and unplug it once it reaches about 80%.

Many users are used to leaving their smartphone plugged in overnight, but this is one of the most common mistakes. The device is charged for a few hours and then left plugged in, which can negatively impact the battery. This habit can cause the battery to overheat and wear out faster.

As a reminder, not all users know when to put their phone on charge. It is generally accepted to charge the device when its battery is at 20%, but there is another charging tactic.
