wireless charging and battery

[Ricky Cox]

Hey all just for my first wireless charger. When I'm at home gaming is it better to set my phone back down on the charging pad (basically leaving it at 98-100 at all times), or leave it off and let it discharge some? I heard leaving the battery at 40-80% was best for long term battery life.

My understanding is that leaving it on the charger will not harm the battery. At that level, it will just get an intermittent trickle charge--there won't be any "overcharging." It's generally more harmful to the battery's overall lifespan to deep-discharge it frequently (i.e., let it drain until it's zero or close to zero).
