CLUB5050💝||DO I NEED TO CHARGE MY NEW SMARTPHONE BEFORE USING IT???TTH(tip,trick,hack)

_{designed in canva}

We all can relate to the joy of purchasing a new phone....that sweet feeling 🥰
I recall last year when I got my new phone,the memory is still fresh in my head.I was so excited that I quickly started to unbox the phone package to see how the new phone look like😁the moment I got my hand on the phone,I quickly switched it on and was about going through every nook and cranny of the phone trying to look for any new features this new device came with and then suddenly the thought hit me.....

"DO YOU WANT TO SPOIL THE BATTERY??"...

Lot of laughs,that was when I realized that I needed to charge the battery before I start using it so as not to spoil it.
So I quickly switched it off like everyone one in this community would have done so as to preserve the life of my dear battery 😁.

But is this really true or just a misconception??
Will your new phone battery get spoilt because you used it before charging it??

Don't worry,you are about to find out🤗

Let's talk about the phones battery 🔋

There have been alot of controversy surrounding this issue and I feel I should address it here today.

The mobile phone battery that we use today are made of lithium ion unlike phones in the past that are made with nickel.
The battery in our phones today do not necessarily need to be charged before use because the manufacturer of these phones make sure to charge this battery to about 60%, making it unnecessary for users to charge a new phone before use.

Your new phone battery won't get spoilt simple because you used it before charging it.
Although this fact was true during the era of nickel battery.
This is because battery made with nickel tend to suffer from what is termed as "memory syndrome effect" and so it must be charged fully or partially before use.

This memory effect affect battery made with nickel and it is said to the the laziness and forgetfulness of battery which causes it to hold less charge and only recall lesser charge.They tend to loss their maximum energy capacity when they are slightly or partially discharged before they are being recharged.

So in other word,you have to charge this kind of battery to the fullest before using it.Once you make use of the battery before charging it and it discharges to a certain low energy level,the battery automatically memorises the less charge and hold less charge no matter how much you charge it, but once you charge it to the fullest before use,it memorises the energy stored level for later.

That is the difference between battery made with lithium ion and nickel..
So now I guess it is safe to say that you can use your new smartphone without charging and your battery won't get spoilt except the new phone battery is made with nickel which of course is no more in production and isn't use for making phones battery anymore.

I hope this was educating and exhaustive.
I'm glad you learnt so something new today.

Thanks for reading through 🤗
Enjoy the rest of your day.
