I have a wireless charging stand at work, so my phone is nearly 70% charged when I go to bed. No real point to me in having extra clutter on my nightstand.

On the weekends, I’ll charge my phone on the kitchen counter while making breakfast for the kids.

Same thing with my girlfriend. I even got a charger and a cable just for her exclusive use but she keeps unplugging my phone because “it has more charge than mine”. Which, fair, but like??? It didn’t have to be this way??

I used to never charge my phone at night, because of my battery health pedantry. I the found the AccA app which enables me to limit the maximum charging, so now I sometimes leave it changing during the night.

Keeping Lithium-ion batteries at 100% charge will reduce their lifespan. They want to live in the 40-80% range. I use an app that notifies me when my phone has charged to 80%, so that I can unplug it. It may be overkill, but I plan to use this phone for 9 more years or so.

I don’t want an exploding phone in my bedroom. I charge it at my desk while working

She has different priorities than you.

I thought you’re not supposed to keep things charging after they reach full battery. Also I don’t have a plug near my bed lol

I feel this pain. Wife’s battery-powered devices are always in a constant state of dying. Something has convinced her that it’s better to let the battery almost! die, then charge it to full, but not leave it plugged in because that will degrade the battery; meaning it never gets charged overnight. I’m sure there’s a small kernel of truth in where she learned that, but it’s almost a joke at this point when she goes scrambling for her charger when using her phone, tablet, etc. It’s painful, but also adorable? I guess. Anyway, it’s not a hill I’m willing to die on, so I just let it be and laugh almost everytime it happens.
