The Conversation - Most new-generation smartphones will take somewhere between 30 minutes and two hours to charge fully. Charging times vary depending on your device’s battery capacity – larger capacities require more time – as well as how much power your charger supplies.
Charging your phone overnight is not only unnecessary, it also accelerates battery ageing. Full charging cycles (going from 0%–100%) should be avoided to maximise your battery’s lifespan. Samsung says: "Charging your battery up to 100% too frequently may negatively impact the overall lifespan of the battery. Similarly, keeping iPhones at full charge for extended periods may compromise their battery health. Rather than a full top-up, it’s recommended to charge your battery up to 80% and not allow it to dip under 20%.
