How long do you keep fast charger plugged in after battery is 100%

[AC Question]

I charge my phone with fast charger each night. Do I unplug it if it battery reaches 100% or is it best to disconnect at this time?

It is ideal to leave your phone plugged in overnight (I've done so for years), and even though there are still disputes as to if lithium-ion batterirs have memory, the do, but it's very minimal. Even if your phone is left plugged in after it's charged the computer in the battery and phone will switch from charging to cycling power from the charger. However, fast-chargers are known to shorten the overall long-term life of your battery.

Ignore the double post.

It's actually better for li-ion batteries to be just partially charged instead of full charge.

We actually have a how-to on caring for the battery in your phone...

That said, I charge my phone either during the evening and unplug it when I go to bed or I charge it in the morning while I'm eating breakfast and getting ready for work.
