I only charge my phone when it’s at 10%. Example I’m in bed, going to sleep, battery is at 47%. Not charging it overnight.

It’s not ideal to keep it plugged in. I believe this is why Apple developed Optimize Battery Charging. If you plan to leave it plugged in for long period, you should enable this so it learns your charging habit and not keep it 100% charged

Good battery charging habits according to the tech battery experts is to not charge the battery over 80%. It’s also a good practice not to let it drop below 20%. Once you go past 80%, it stresses the battery and creates heat inside the battery. Heat and stress are bad for lithium batteries.

That said, if your battery does go bad you can get it easily replaced with Apple or at any Best Buy.

Keeping something plugged in is fine, and better for the battery. The charging system will do the pause when full. If/when the battery needs a top up, it can do that whenever’s appropriate.

Generally what kills a battery is how many full cycles it’s gone through. And overheating/freezing.

This isn’t true of lithium ion batteries. Google “calendar aging lithium ion.”

The TLDR is that lithium ion batteries degrade (non-trivially) even when sitting at a static state of charge with no cycles. Further, the state of charge the battery is at during this period of stasis matters to the amount of degradation, with SOCs at the limits being the worst (near 0 or near 100).

To add to it: the best battery preserving technique proved to be charge to 50% and shut off the device. Then store in a cool, dry, dark environment basically how we receive our iphones from factory.
So yeah, not using is the best preserving. Otherwise, with current speed one can upgrade every 2 years or replace battery for $ at apple for cheap.

That is true. If you plan on storing a device long term (weeks or months), it is best to charge up to 50% and turn it off.

I keep mine on a wireless charger in front of me at work and have not noticed any problems
