Should the battery be fully charged during its first use?
No, you should not fully charge your smartphone battery for the first use; this is a mistake made by many users, and you risk damaging the battery from the start. Enjoy your new smartphone without worrying about its battery level.
Should the battery be discharged before recharging it?
Most modern batteries are lithium-ion, and they do not favor complete discharge. It is therefore wiser to recharge your battery before it reaches this critical threshold. We recommend recharging your device when it reaches 10% - 20% remaining charge. This way, you'll preserve the lifespan of your battery.
Which charger should be used to recharge your phone?
It is imperative to use the manufacturer's official charger provided with your smartphone; it has been specially designed for your device. Using another charger that is incompatible or with a different power rating than the original greatly increases the chances of damaging your phone.
The original power adapter has all the certifications and uses the correct voltage and current intensity for your equipment.
Can you use your phone while it's charging?
It is highly discouraged to use your device while it is charging; it undergoes slight overheating, and the components that make up the battery are heavily used to power it. It is better to avoid any risks and wait until it has finished loading.
Should fast charging be used?
Fast charging, as the name suggests, allows you to save time when charging your smartphone. There is no evidence that this practice damages your battery; just make sure to always use a quality, certified, and guaranteed fast charger. Your smartphone will charge at the maximum speed tolerated by your device.
The advantage of classic charging over fast charging is that your phone heats up less.
By following all our valuable advice, you will optimize the lifespan of your battery, allowing you to use your equipment for many years with peace of mind. You just need to have the right habits from the first charge.
