Low battery - when do you recharge?

[OnlyOneKenobi]

It seems opinion varies a bit on this point, so, what level of battery percentage do you consider critical for your smartphone, watch, laptop, or other devices? At what battery percentage do you start feeling the need to charge the device to ensure it lasts for the rest of the day?

30%

 

[UB40]

85%

I try charge it when in the low 30's and unplug it when its at 80%, always using a 1.5A charger.

And I always avoid micro charging.

My phone charges whenever I'm in the car so I rarely need to intentionally charge it during the day.

 

[Grubscrew]

Usually by the time I get to bet the phone is about 30%. Leave it on charge during the night.

Cellphone:
Mine is on/off charge the whole day ...
As soon as I sit at the PC, I plug it in .... when i get up, I unplug. (Direct charge from wall-socket)
This happens a few times per day, no matter what the %-level.
Never had a problem

Phone / tablet at 20% and watch at 10%. I see the tablet only pops the low battery at 10% so will only charge it then from now on. Phone lasts 2 days on battery.

been doing the same on my 2 year old BLACKVIEW BV9800 PRO. I charge it to 100% every 2nd month. Hardly ever use quick charging.
The battery is still perfect

Don't think about it and/or care about it at all.

 

[DapperDanMan]

That's what she said!

Don't really think about it either. I just charge my phone while busy with other things like cooking, working out, gaming etc regardless of how low or high battery is.

I let it go down to 5 or 3% before getting up to charge the thing lol. I run when it tells me phone will switch off in 30 seconds

Battery is at 14% right now, will leave on charger in a bit when I'm busy in kitchen.

 

[Smugs]

When I go to bed.

 

[Gudnews]

The heat is what hurts the battery form my understanding, so I am always topping up when I can. I get antsy when I see anything below 80.

 

[netstrider]

Usually from around 40% to about 85% although since I got an Anker charger recently it regularly charges to 100% quicker than I anticipated.
