Five myths busted about charging

Every one of us is so concerned about their battery life and have made little rules for what we can’t do and can do with our smartphone. No doubt there will be plenty of rules that would be real but a few of them can be myths. Here are these myths busted,

Myth: Using off-brand chargers destroys batteries.

The truth: Off-brand chargers, while not optimal, are fine. It’s knockoffs you should avoid.

Don’t go for cheap brand knockoff chargers when you can at least purchase inexpensive, off-brand chargers.

Myth: You shouldn’t use your phone while it charges.

The truth: Use it all you want, as long as you’re not using a sketchy third-party charger.

There are scary reasons behind this myth. People believe that using a phone while charging will make the phone explode, or electrocute the user. But this happens when you use third party charger.

Myth: Charging your phone overnight kills the battery.

The truth: Your phone is smarter than you think. Once it’s fully juiced up, it knows to stop charging. That means the battery isn’t even in use at all.

Myth: You don’t need to turn your phone off, ever.

The truth: Your phone may be a machine, but it still needs to take a few breaks. An Apple Genius said that in order to maximize battery life, you should turn off your phone from time to time, especially when you go to bed at night.

Myth: Don’t charge your phone until it’s completely dead.

The truth: It’s better to charge your phone every day than to do a “deep charge” from time to time.
