When you have a smartphone, like an Android, you know that one of the worst feelings is to have your battery suddenly die on you.
Charging your Android might seem like a simple task, but the way you charge your phone can actually have a significant impact on how long your battery lasts and how well it works. As it turns out, there are ways to do it incorrectly, and there are ways to charge that won’t keep your battery fresh for long. We’ve revealed a charging trick and tip you should follow in order for your Android battery to last much longer. Read more about it below.

An Android Charging Tip That Can Help Your Battery Last Longer
Charging your Android might seem like a super simple and straightforward task. You see that your battery is about to die, you grab your charger, plug your phone in for a few hours, and that's it. Although that is the way you should go about things, there's likely one thing you're not paying much attention to.
As it turns out, if you can, you should be paying as much attention to your battery percentage throughout the day as possible. Most people tend to wait until their battery percentage is nearly 0%, but as it turns out, that can do more damage than you'd think.
"To maximize battery life, you should charge your phone when it reaches 30% state of charge," wrote tech experts at Android Authority.
Why This Charging Tip Works
Although it's not always possible to catch and plug in your Android before it drops below 30% or 20%, plugging it in beforehand is an easy way to get your battery to last. It can help minimize battery degradation, keeping it fresh and allowing it to function better.
Additionally, if you can, it's also a good idea to unplug your phone once it reaches 80% charge, which might sound funny, since a full battery is 100%, but it can help prevent your phone and battery from overheating, as too much heat is often a smartphone's enemy.
No one is perfect, and it can sometimes be hard to keep your battery life intact. Just like phones in general, batteries age and slowly begin to break down with time. However, following these charging tips can help it last as long as possible.
