5 Charging Mistakes That Are Killing Your Battery Life (And How to Avoid Them)

Meta Description:
Avoid common charging mistakes that reduce your battery's lifespan. Thikra Store reveals 5 power-saving tips every UAE user should know.

Whether it's your smartphone, smartwatch, or power bank—battery issues are a daily frustration for many users. But what if the problem isn’t the battery itself, but how you charge it?

In this guide, we’ll highlight the top 5 charging mistakes people make and show you how to protect your devices using smart charging habits and quality accessories from Thikra Store.

1. Charging Overnight – A Habit That Hurts

Leaving your phone plugged in overnight seems convenient, but modern batteries don't benefit from extended 100% charging. It causes excess heat and long-term stress on the battery.

Solution: Use smart plugs with timers or chargers with auto-shutoff features to prevent overcharging.

2. Using Cheap or Fake Chargers

Low-quality chargers may not be regulated and can damage your phone’s battery or even cause fire hazards.

Solution: Always invest in certified chargers from reputable sources like Thikra Store.

3. Charging in Hot or Sunny Areas

Charging your phone in a car under the sun or near heat sources leads to battery swelling and faster degradation.

Solution: Always charge devices in cool, ventilated environments.

4. Letting Battery Drop to 0% Often

Draining your battery to 0% too frequently reduces its overall life span, especially in lithium-ion batteries.

Solution: Try to keep your battery level between 20% and 80% for optimal longevity.

5. Constant Fast Charging

While fast charging is a lifesaver when you're in a rush, using it all the time can cause long-term wear to the battery.

Solution: Alternate between standard and fast charging modes, depending on your need.
