My wife’s phone dies every. single. day. and I don’t know why she doesn’t just charge it at night.

I’m just wondering how people live like this 😅

    Keeping Lithium-ion batteries at 100% charge will reduce their lifespan. They want to live in the 40-80% range. I use an app that notifies me when my phone has charged to 80%, so that I can unplug it. It may be overkill, but I plan to use this phone for 9 more years or so.

      Both iphone and androids have an OS option to stop charging at 85 though - I keep it on all the time unless I’m going to need that extra bit of juice

      9 more years?? I’ve gotten almost 6 years out of my Oneplus 5T and I’ve been ecstatic about it. It’s literally lasted 3 times longer than any phone I’ve had before it

    Same thing with my girlfriend. I even got a charger and a cable just for her exclusive use but she keeps unplugging my phone because “it has more charge than mine”. Which, fair, but like??? It didn’t have to be this way??

    I have a wireless charger on my desk, pretty much almost every day I already have 100% when going to bed

      I genuinely don’t understand how this works for so many people. When i watch something, I watch it and wont sleep until i make the concious decision to stop paying attention and close my eyes. Same with books or anything really. Maybe music works

        ehhhhh, its a heavy sleeper thing for me I think. I usually don’t make the conscious decision of falling asleep, I just lay in bed until I just pass out. My brain just gives up and disconnects. I’m a heavy sleeper, and I need like 30 minutes minimum between opening my eyes in the morning and actually getting out of bed.

        I’m also watching streaming services too and it happens a lot to me that I’m watching a series in bed, I fall sleep, and wake up to realize I watched many chapters of the series so I gotta watch them again later, this time for real.

    I have a wireless charging stand at work, so my phone is nearly 70% charged when I go to bed. No real point to me in having extra clutter on my nightstand.

    On the weekends, I’ll charge my phone on the kitchen counter while making breakfast for the kids.

    Some people just don’t give a f*ck, even when they complain about it all the time…

    Like, you went through your day exhausted and want to finally make a decision to go to bed for yourself, but no you have to remember to connect the USB cable.

    Get her a wireless charger stand.

    Some people are just extremely lazy. I used to be the same, but I decided to spend a few dollars on a wireless charging stand that I can just throw my phone onto while I’m dozing off.
