Do Not Overcharging Your Smartphone!

Lately a lot of customers come in to our shops, complaining the battery life of their smartphones couldn't even last for 12 hours! While battery failures can be caused by a number of reasons, the most common one would be caused by overcharging.

How many of us have the habit of charging our smartphone at night times? A lot, I assume. And most times we just leave it charged until morning so we can have a full battery life for our busy daily usage. Good news is that you're so organized that you don't get caught out in the middle of the day or miss a single important phone call. Bad news, however, is by overcharging your smartphone not only it reduces battery life, but also it could swallow the battery as well as damage other parts of your smartphone.

Normally smartphones will be fully charged under 3 or 4 hours depending on the models, provided that you're not talking, playing games or watching movies during charging. Read your user manual carefully and find out how long does it takes to charge the battery and follow the instructions. At the end of the day we don't want batteries to cause bigger problems like mother board short circuit, which could cost fortune to fix.
