"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. Most tablets offer six to eight hours of use on a single charge, though battery life diminishes with age and continued use."
"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%."
Most tablets offer six to eight hours of use on a single charge, though battery capacity diminishes with age and continued use. Leaving a tablet plugged in overnight can cause it to trickle-charge at 100%, which stresses the battery and shortens its lifespan. Unplugging the tablet when it reaches 100% and maintaining charge between 20% and 80% helps preserve battery health. Allowing the battery to drain to 0% or forgetting a depleted device increases wear and can harm long-term performance. Storing unused tablets at around 50% charge and using certified chargers to prevent overheating further extend battery life. Occasional charging mistakes will not permanently damage a battery, but repeated incorrect practices lead to cumulative damage.
