Note 9 Overnight charging....do it? or not?

Ok, so what is the answer to this, i've read that you shouldn't charge your phone overnight and i've read that it is ok....what say the people?....I've always put my phone on the charger, whether it is a plug or wireless.

I don't think it would hurt it , as they give safe protection for battery, but what if that fails ?I Iike to watch over these things if I could nothing guaranteed.

I personally don't because of the small electrical danger. There may be other reasons not to, but I don't get beyond the first reason so I don't consider them.

Wireless charging pads throw off heat, which is bad for the phone. (Even if it's a charging stand, the charging receiver in the phone generates heat - same problem.

Wired charging? No problem ... unless the charging chip in the phone goes bad and allows the battery to cook. Or a storm comes up and the power line gets a few thousand volt pulse on it, which will probably fry both the charger and the phone (and could start a fire and burn the house down around you). And if the charging chip is actually charging to just a bit more than 100%, it will shorten the battery life (which is why I charge to 95%).

I've charged my phones overnight for over 20 years. Never had a problem.

Exactly. I've ruined things on an overnight charge and I'm just not willing to risk my phone.

I've never ruined anything doing it but I don't do it often . I deal with circuitry everyday and nothing is fail proof . It just takes one time no matter how lucky iam so I keep a eye on that .

You do stand a higher likelihood of shortening the life of the battery. Li-ion batteries like a happy medium, not high or low charges.

I charge every night.....never a problem
