Hi tacdas, I am not sure if it is Okay to drain your phone and charge it again. I think is fine to do that. But What make you think you need to drain the phone and charge again?

[tacdas]

well people always tell me to drain the battery first and charge it till 8 or more hours even it is full just to make ur battery have a longitivity lifespan

Actually, that is completely wrong! Lithium-ion batteries, like the ones in all phones and laptops and modern electronics, don't like to be completely drained. They also don't like heat, so don't leave your phone sitting on direct sun.

So use your phone like normal, don't worry abou the battery, charge it whenever you need to. Do not drain the battery all the way on purpose!

@matus201 so is it ok to charge it even its 85%???

Hi tacdas, it is ok to charge it even its 85%. I sometimes charge my phone even at 96% because I need to plugin to use DeX (It charge my phone whenever I plugin to usb). So do not worry about when to charge your phone.

Nowadays battery no need to do this anymore. You can charge and drain anytime.

to echo what @tallman said. I use my phone all day (charge if I have to) and wireless charge it at night and it barley turn it off, it's always on

[tacdas]
