Practically in all electronic devices, we can find a series of recommendations when you use them to increase their useful lifespan, and although it is true that there are many cases in which there must also be others in which they are not really useful recommendations. In most cases, the best thing that a user can make is to pay attention to the manufacturer's recommendations, because each brand knows what are the advantages and failures that their products can have, so that they also know how to indicate how they should be used as long as possible.
These are the main myths of batteries and chargers are they true?
You will surely have never heard a statement on a battery that has missed you a lot because of the fact that you had never raised it, but everything that is understood or seen on the Internet must be true.
The battery should not be loaded during the night
One of the things that have been heard on the batteries of smartphones or laptops is how their degradation works, one of the declarations that has been made for a long time is that the battery should not be loaded during the night. This has to do with the operation that these devices have, although it is true that maintaining a battery load greater than 100% can damage it, it does not apply in all cases.
Many smartphones, laptops and tablets that are currently on the market have a function that protects the battery by preventing it from continuing to load once reached 100%, because it uses an optimized load system that loads little, small to prevent overheating, as well as excessive battery wear.
The battery should be completely downloaded
One of the cases that damage the most of the devices is probably the idea of thinking that it must be completely downloaded before starting to load it because it considerably affects its useful lifespan. Just as maintaining a smartphone all day connected to a charger can damage the battery (if it does not have the optimized load), let it reach 0% can also affect greatly. Depending on how any type of battery is built, it undergoes a degradation when used, but this happens more quickly if the cells are completely empty.
In the end, the best thing that can be done in these cases is to always choose the battery between 30% and 80%.
Third -part chargers damage the device
You will probably have never heard that to load a smartphone, it is always necessary to use the original charger, but it is not something that is completely necessary in the most recent mobile phone models. Practically all the chargers have been standardized so that it can be used when filling the battery of one of these devices, which led us to the point of being able to connect a mobile even to a computer to recharge its battery (in the case of laptops if it is necessary to use the original charger).
But it is also true that there are certain functions which need the device charger to be the original, for example, the real mobiles have a fast load system which only works with their own charger and with the cable of the same thing because they are designed to transmit more energy, which leads us to the following myth.
Any USB charger is worth
One of the problems when using USB chargers and cables is that not all of them have the same characteristics, which implies that the use of that which we do not know which specifications can end up damaging the battery of the device. Some are designed to last and have much higher powers, which was even more complicated with the implementation of the USB-C standard because the cables are practically the same, although they have very different technical aspects.
You must always use a wall charger
Finally, one of the most widespread myths when it comes to loading a battery concerns how to do it, in many cases, it is assured that it is necessary to use a specific charger for this, but as you can imagine, it is not something strictly necessary. Before commenting on how it is possible to load a smartphone via a computer, it is obviously a more than valid way to recharge the battery without directly affecting its useful lifespan.
Although it is also true that we must highlight something that we mentioned previously linked to technologies that have certain chargers, some offer the possibility of having a quick charge something that can obviously not be activated on a computer, so it would be one of the great advantages it has.
