Why your phone battery gets worse over time - George Zaidan?

Your phone battery gets worse over time because it can't hold as much energy as it used to.

Imagine your phone's battery is like a water bottle, and every time you charge it, you're filling that bottle with water. But each time you fill it up, a little bit of the bottle gets worn out, like when you drop it or crush it a little, especially if you do this many times.

How Charging Affects Your Battery

Every time you charge your phone from empty to full, it's like filling a glass all the way to the top. But doing that often can make the glass (or battery) get tired and less strong over time, so it doesn’t hold as much water (or energy).

What You Can Do

If you don't always charge your phone all the way, or if you let it rest a little before charging again, it might last longer, like how a toy car can keep going for more laps if you don’t push it too hard every time.

Examples

  1. Your phone's battery is like a sponge that gets less absorbent over time, so it holds less water, or charge.
  2. Every time you charge your phone, it’s like giving it a little shock that wears the battery down slowly.
  3. If you leave your phone charging all night, it can actually hurt the battery more than just charging it halfway.
