Title, basically. Everytime I got a new phone, tablet, etc, I was always instructed that I should first, before using the device, let it charge to 100% and then only charge it again once the battery has fully run out and the device turns off.
Apparently this is to increase the lifetime / reduce risk of damaging the battery? But why?
In: Technology
You shouldn’t.
NiCd batteries used a different technology and that antique advice no longer applies. Lithium cells will be damaged by draining the battery completely.
