Charging your phone is a mundane fixture of modern life. Most of us probably plug in our devices just after we’ve brushed our teeth at night, filling them up to 100 per cent, readying them for another day of social-media scrolling and app-based procrastination. It’s part of our routine, something we don’t really think about – until it becomes a problem, that is.
There tends to come a point in your phone’s lifespan when it starts greedily eating up its charge with an insatiable appetite. Once you could get through the working day without dropping into the red zone, battery-wise, but now you’re constantly scoping out potential charging points so you can top up on the go.
