When do you generally plug in to charge?

[mumfoau]

After reading battery university I began charging at a 50% DoD but.I don't know if that's really necessary. In general, I charge when I'm in the yellow (30% or below). I noticed that the greater the DoD the fewer cycles you get out of a battery. I figure at 70% DoD I'd get a few years worth of cycles and no one keeps a phone that long anyway. Lol

What do you guys do?

I just plug in when I go to bed regardless of what I have left. Some day's it's 70% left some day's it's 40% others it's 20%. (I have a 3500 battery)

I only ever use the car charger if I'm doing a long trip with Nav on.

When I reach 15% or less I swap the battery out of the charger.

I too plug in at bedtime regardless of charge, typically i am between 40% - 15% charge at the end of the day after mild to moderate use.

Yep, count me in with the "charge right before I go to bed regardless of how much power I got left"

Sometimes I charge everynight regardless of how much battery power is left.
But sometimes I let it run totally down since I have 2 batteries and external charger as well as a power cube. I am never without power

That's pretty much what I do too or try to. I sometimes don't and just top of the battery when I get to work.

I'd do a full recharge powered off at night if there was a way I could make the phone power on when it's time for my alarm to go off.

For me, I wait for the battery to get under 10%. I have Battery Status, which shows you battery life in number units, so I try to charge it when it gets to 4 or 5%.
