Battery life damage?

[Gaba517]

Can the battery get damaged if I play a lot on my Note 3? I mostly play Real Racing 3 and other hardware demanding games.I charge my phablet every night for about 2 hours, it actually lasts a whole day and I still have like 30% battery at its end...but, will it get damaged if I play too much??

No, using battery, no matter how, will not damage it.

Battery capacity will be reduced with increasing charging cycles, if you charge every day from 0 to 100, it will drop to about 80 percent of its original capacity in about a year and half.

If you charge from 30 to 80 every day, the time it takes to reduce to 80 percent capacity will be about 5 years.

And here is the good thing about removable battery, you can pop a new one in!

Thanks for the answer.What if I do a full cycle(from below 20% to 100%) at least once a month, and then I recharge it from about 30% to 100%.How much is it going to last?

It's dependent on the depth of discharge ...

yeah, see the link provided above, a DOD of (70%) as you go from 30 to 100%, probablys give you ~800 cycles, which would be more than 2 years.

The reason i said 30-80, is that partial charge also avoid high voltage of the battery (4.2v at 100%), which also prolongs the battery life. The link given above has alot of information. Go check it out.
