My S9 Battery was at 5% and I put it on my wireless charger for the night.
It must not have been positioned correctly and the battery went to "0" % and the phone shut off.
When I awakened, I realized what happened and I am now charging the phone with my fast charging wire. It is already up to 35%/

SO......did I hurt my battery by allowing it to go to "0" % ????

Let me know what to expect in the future.
Thanks.
 
Li-ion batteries are not deep cycle batteries. Draining to zero will cause excessive wear, but so will draining to 5%. If you're doing this regularly, then I'm sure your battery has already suffered a capacity loss.

Normally I recharge between 20 - 50%.
This is the first time I have experienced "0"% charge.
Its charged full now and seems to be OK.

I also have found out that a method to re-calibrate the S9 battery is to allow it to go to "0"% twice and restart.

I'll keep a "eye" on my battery and reply later if I see anything different in its use.
Thanks.
 
So far the battery has been working as expected.
I cycle it pretty deep so I exercise the battery capacity well.
Don't see any memory effect or decrease in functionality due to the complete discharge.
Thanks for all of the input.

Glad to hear that
Thanks for letting us know.
 
I wouldn't worry about it. You would have to do that alot for it to start degrading the battery. I have done that quite a bit on my S7 plus and it lasted me three years before I started having battery problems. By then I was ready to upgrade anyways since I stopped receiving the security patches.
