What is meant by battery charging cycles?
A battery charging cycle refers to the process of fully charging and discharging a battery. It is not simply the act of plugging in your device or using it until it runs out of power. A charging cycle is completed when the battery has been charged from 0% to 100% and then discharged back down to 0%.
The number of charging cycles a battery can endure is finite. This is because each time a battery is charged and discharged, it loses a small amount of capacity. Over time, this loss of capacity can become significant, and the battery will no longer be able to hold a charge.
The average battery has a lifespan of 300-500 charging cycles. However, this can vary depending on the type of battery, the way it is used, and the environment in which it is stored.
There are a few things you can do to extend the lifespan of your battery:
- Avoid fully charging and discharging your battery. It is best to keep your battery between 20% and 80% charged.
- Use your device at room temperature. Extreme temperatures can damage the battery.
- Store your device in a cool, dry place.
