The phone takes your daily usage and charging routine into account in order to work out when it actually needs to go above 80 per cent capacity. Android models, meanwhile, have a similar ...
Keeping your phone plugged in once it hits a full charge and consistently charging it to 100% keeps the battery at a high voltage, which causes chemical aging in the product, said Dibakar Datta ...
In case you haven't noticed, it's very hot. Major heat waves have hit regions all over the world, including the U.S., Europe, and parts of Asia. With dangerously high temperatures in some areas ...
In modern electronic equipment that monitors the voltage to indicate battery charge, the battery appears to be draining very quickly. To the user, it appears the battery is not holding its full charge, which seems similar to memory effect. This is a common problem with high-load devices such as digital cameras and cell phones.

Such high-charging rates are possible only with some battery types. Others will be damaged or possibly overheat or catch fire. Some batteries may even explode. [9] For example, an automobile SLI (starting, lighting, ignition) lead–acid battery carries several risks of explosion. A newer type of charger is known as a solid-state charger.
A shunt charge controller or shunt regulator diverts excess electricity to an auxiliary or "shunt" load, such as an electric water heater, when batteries are full. [7] Simple charge controllers stop charging a battery when they exceed a set high voltage level, and re-enable charging when battery voltage drops back below that level.
A trip to Hong Kong tourist attraction Ocean Park led scientists to propose a way to prevent mobile phones overheating and detect counterfeit goods - by overturning 200 years of conventional wisdom.
Quick Charge is a proprietary technology that can charge battery-powered devices, primarily mobile phones, at power levels exceeding the 7.5 watts (5 volts at 1.5 amps) supported by the USB BC 1.2 standard, using existing USB cables. The higher voltage available allows more power (watts) to be supplied through wires without excessive heating.
