Charging on and off

[Jcdumdumaya]

the battery will be fine. The lightning port much less ....

So bottom line is it won't damage my phone? Even if it happens everyday?

if you are speaking about physically plug and unplug, it will damage your phone in the long time. The battery won't suffer, but the protection circuit will be stressed much more than normal.
I would avoid that

What do you mean by physical plug and unplug? What is a protection circuit?

What do you mean by physical plug and unplug? What is a protection circuit?

I mean: if you physically connect and disconnect the lightning connector to the lightning port, again and again in a few minutes, you are accelerating the normal wear and tear process....

The lithium battery inside your iPhone has a protection circuit to prevent overcharging, overvaulting and other things. That continuous charge/discharge cycling in a few minutes is stressing it more than expected.

Normal wear and tear process? What does that mean? Sorry for all the questions.

When you plug and unplug the lightning connector in your iPhone, there is actually "friction" between electric contacts. They are designed to do that, so they are wearing over the time but it usually takes years before some of them will malfunction. If you are connecting and disconnecting the lightning plug continuously, at a rate much higher than it was supposed, it could accelerate the wearing process.

So it wont damage my battery? Only the port area?

basically yes

 

[Jcdumdumaya]

basically yes

Which question was that for?

Which question was that for?

it won't damage the battery. it could damage the port (or shorten its life).

Not sure about Apple hardware but the Galaxy S6 keeps count of how many times the charger was plugged in. Even wiping the phone fully wouldn't erase those stats. It's stored on a separate partition or chip. I think Samsung used these logs for warranty purposes.
Mine showed over 300 times plugged in in about a week but it was my stupid fancy ebay cable that was an issue!

Shorten what?

Lol. So was it plugged in 300 times in a week? Maybe yours kept plugging and unplugging for some reason

 

[Max(IT)]

Shorten what?

impossible to say ... it could be years, or months.

Don't plug and unplug in fast sequences for too long. The lightning cable might lose it's strenght and won't work for another 15 minutes or so.

The cable was not maintaining a proper connection. I had disabled the charger plug in sound so I didn't notice it.

You said it "it could damage the port (or shorten its life)" shorten the life of the port?

So you're saying that its not charging properly?

 

[Jcdumdumaya]

I've done in for 5-10 times but not in fast sequence

 

[Elisha]

It charged fine. It just wasn't a secure connection.

Still got to watch out though.. Some like it slow.

 

[Max(IT)]

You said it "it could damage the port (or shorten its life)" shorten the life of the port?

Yep. It may shorten the life of the port...


BTW I'm not getting what are you really asking here. What could be the reason to plug and unplug continuously the cable while charging ? I can't see any single good reason to do that ....

I just wanted to see if it wil change the percentage as I plug and unplug it.

What do you mean by wasn't secure connection? If it didn't have a secured connection it wouldn't charge at all
