How you're charging your tablet is quietly ruining the battery - here's how experts do it instead
"This isn't always a problem with newer tablets, but most tablets on the market will suffer from being left plugged in overnight. Tablets typically charge to 100% and stop using electricity. However, leaving your tablet plugged in can cause it to continue trickle-charging to keep the battery full, which can stress the battery over time and diminish its lifespan. Instead, unplug your tablet when its battery reaches 100%. As a rule of thumb, it's best to keep your battery charged between 20% and 80%."
"As someone who uses a tablet daily, I'm constantly looking for ways to make its battery last longer. However, some habits you don't think twice about could actually be hurting your battery over time. There are ways to extend your tablet's battery life, and there are some things you should avoid that do the opposite."
Keep tablet battery charged between 20% and 80% to reduce stress from trickle-charging and prolong lifespan. Avoid leaving tablets plugged in after reaching 100% because continued trickle-charging can cause stress and diminish battery lifespan. Avoid letting the battery drain to 0% repeatedly, since full discharges accelerate degradation. Store unused tablets around 50% charge to preserve battery health. Use certified chargers to prevent overheating and electrical stress. Occasional deviations won't cause permanent damage, but habitual improper charging and storage will reduce battery longevity over time.
