Summary
Consequently, experts have advised making one straightforward adjustment to help your phone last longer — avoid leaving your battery at 100% charge during hot weather. Every 10C rise above approximately 25C can roughly double the speed at which batteries deteriorate. Charging a phone in temperatures between 35C and 45C can also cause additional wear, while a battery kept at 40C and fully charged could lose around 35% of its capacity in merely a year. "You don't want to be sitting at high states of charge at high temperatures," said David Howey, professor of engineering science at the University of Oxford.
Furthermore, Billy Wu, director of research at Imperial College London's Dyson School of Design Engineering, said: "Normally we say about 80 per cent charge is a good number to reach and doesn't accelerate the degradation too much." However, Paez Fajardo said modern batteries have improved significantly, meaning it's often best to rely on your phone's built-in charging features rather than manually unplugging it. "Basically, the worst enemy a battery can have is heat," Galo Paez Fajardo, a research assistant professor at the University of Warwick, told The i. Paez Fajardo added: "Now, current batteries are fine if you charge them at any percentage.
In addition, Phones will keep charge for longer if you make one change during heatwave. Experts instead advise keeping it tucked in a pocket, bag or shaded spot wherever possible.
