The battery is one of the main parameters according to which users choose a new smartphone. Here are some tips on how to extend the life of your battery so it lasts as long as possible.
What is important when charging a smartphone?
The expert says that when charging a smartphone, the order in which the charger, cable and smartphone are placed is important. If you do not follow the same order and reverse the steps, you may damage the smartphone battery.
When charging a smartphone, it is ideal to first connect the cable to the adapter and then plug it into the smartphone. If you don't do it backwards, you will not only reduce the risk of electric shock to an electronic device, but also significantly reduce the possibility of electrocution.
According to several 3C product designers, there are many current electronic devices on the market that have charge protection, so even if the order is reversed, nothing should happen.
Certified accessories
Overnight charging is fine, but the accessory must be certified and work properly. Always use chargers and cables of the same brand or those that are directly in the package and compatible with your smartphone.
Low temperature is the basis
It's okay to charge and use your smartphone while you're at it. However, the temperature should be moderate, preferably between 0 and 35 °C. The hotter the battery, the greater the danger that it will suffer problems.
Range of percentages
Do not leave the smartphone charging if it has less than 20% and also do not leave the smartphone fully charged. It is ideal to stay in the range of 20 to 80% capacity. The expert says that a smartphone should not be charged to 100% and let it discharge to 0%. That's why there are companies that include a limiter in their battery options so the battery never reaches 100%.
Extra modes
There are smartphone brands and models that have additional features, such as Optimized Battery Charging mode, which uses maximum charging power up to 80% and slows it down for the remaining 20%, protecting battery health. Find out if yours has it too and don't forget to activate it.
Switching between fast and slow charging
You should use the ultra-fast charging feature sparingly, as frequent use can reduce battery health. It is ideal to alternate this type of charging with traditional, standard, slower charging and to use fast charging only in case of emergency.

I would like to know how to switch between fast charging and standard - slow charging. Either through any application or by setting it on your mobile phone.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Some models have it directly in the settings that fast charging can be turned off.
