Is it ok to charge iPhone 4 every night?

[WardC]

I run my battery past 50% down, then charge. Once a month, run the batter completely out, then charge. If you charge on 80% or 90% you will be fine, but I don't do this (or recommend) charging every night unless you are out 50% every night. Usually I can run my iPhone for 3-4 days on one charge.

the battery is the last thing you need to worry about with this phone

the last thing you need to worry bout is trolling in this thread

read up.

Meaning what? I have read it, that is where I got the idea that apple wants you to fully charge and discharge it at least once a month.

My 3G iPhone, which I had for around 1.5 yrs, had really bad battery performance after around the first year mark.

Lithium ion batteries like to be topped off, so it's better to charge every night rather than using it until fully discharged. If you're not going to use the phone for a long time, it's also best to store them at partial charge (40-50%) in a cool environment.

Of course this is entirely theoretical, in real life it probably doesn't matter. My old 2G gets relatively decent battery life (2-3 hrs) but I took pretty good care of it.

the ip4 battery is easy to swap DIY style. and by the time you need to replace it, the you'll probably want to replace it with the iphone 6...
