Are YOU charging your iPhone correctly?

The way you charge your phone matters. And though it may seem like there’s only one charging method — the one where you plug a charger into an outlet and attach it to your device — things can get a little more complicated than that, especially when you’re making charging mistakes.

A few wrong charging decisions can result in a weaker battery that doesn’t last as long as it should. Since your iPhone is a serious investment, its battery should also be treated with as much care.

This is the worst mistake you can make when charging your iPhone, according to a security expert.

Your iPhone has a lithium-ion battery that is at its very best when kept at a consistent charge between 40 and 80 percent. But when you overcharge your phone, a very common mistake, it actually taxes the battery more than necessary.According to Tech Times: “The temperature rises when the battery is overcharged and, not only would this shorten the battery life due to stress, it may also threaten a user’s safety, just like those batteries that quickly heat up and explode.”
