"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. Also: We ran battery tests on 9 popular tablets - this model lasted the longest (and other surprise results) Most tablets offer six to eight hours of use on a single charge, though battery life diminishes with age and continued use. While there are many things you can do to conserve battery life, here are the ones you should avoid to ensure your battery's longevity."
"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%."
Keep tablets unplugged after reaching full charge and avoid leaving them plugged in overnight to prevent repeated trickle-charging that stresses and shortens battery lifespan. Maintain the battery between roughly 20% and 80% for optimal longevity and avoid regular full discharges to 0%; store unused tablets around 50%. Use certified chargers to reduce overheating and electrical stress. Typical tablets provide six to eight hours per charge, but capacity diminishes with age and repeated incorrect charging habits. Occasional mistakes will not permanently damage a battery, but habitual improper charging accelerates degradation.
