So how do you guys deal with your phone batteries?
 
Smartphone batteries nowadays have smart charging mechanism.They don't overcharge now.I charge it continuously when i'm indoors. Plus if i'm in a hurry i usually charge the phone in airplane mode.That way it charges much faster.;)
 
I charge my phone as soon as the battery levels reaches below 40%. I start looking for a charger at that point of time. But I need to change that habit. Equipped with a 10800Mah power bank I think I will start charging as and when the phone goes below 15% or so.
 
I charge it everyday between dinner and sleep time, whatever the battery level be. Almost every day, the battery at that point of time is between 30% and 40%. I don't charge it overnight continuously though.
 
Primary Phone :-

1. Overnight Charging.
2. When the battery level drops below 30%. If charging not possible. leave it overnight.
 
Read somewhere so following this.
When it reaches 10% , I charge it upto 90%.
USB charging mostly, only in urgent cases I go for normal charging or power bank.
 
Just before it dies!

My MI3 gives a decent 1.5-2 days on moderate usage so I don't need to worry about charging much. Though my last Xperia phone gave half a day battery life and the only time I really used it was when it was on charging. It made battery life my number one priority for buying a phone.
 
Between 10-15% normally.

But depending on situation need to charge it accordingly. Like going on tour or out or for any party.
 
My rule is to charge everyday, regardless of battery percentage. I will never let a phone's battery go down below 50% if I need to use the phone at morning, and as I need to use it every morning, a full charge before going to bed is a must.
 
I turbocharge it when it reaches critical %age and after 20 mins I disconnect. the battery never sees more than 90% charge
 
I charge my iPhone daily between dinner and bedtime. It is usually 100% by the time I sleep. Then it is disconnected and placed next to my ears(frying my brains) so that it wakes me up the next morning.
The only time this routine was broken was when I got the OPO. Used it for three days and realized it made my charging routine go kaput because it did not actually need a recharge for 2 days. This dismayed me a lot. Also it used a different charger from the iPad.
So now I am back to the iPhone and daily charging routine. Just the world going round again.

P.s. : if you are jailbroken on an iPhone you can get a "stamina mode " using activator actions or by downloading an equivalent app from Cydia. So that your data connection is on only if the screen is on. But then no more Whatsapp/push mails. And approx triple the battery life.
