How you're charging your tablet is slowly killing it - 3 methods to avoid (and the right way)
"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%."
"Unplug at 100%, keep battery between 20% and 80%. Avoid draining to 0%; store unused tablets at 50%. Use certified chargers to prevent stress and overheating. 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."
Unplug tablets when they reach 100% to avoid continued trickle-charging that stresses the battery and shortens lifespan. Maintain charge between roughly 20% and 80% as a general rule to reduce wear. Avoid letting the battery fully drain to 0% and then leaving the device uncharged for days, since repeated deep discharges accelerate degradation. Store unused tablets at about 50% charge to preserve battery health during periods of inactivity. Use certified, appropriate chargers to prevent excess stress and overheating. Occasional charging mistakes do not cause permanent damage, but repeated incorrect habits will diminish battery longevity over time.
