Prevent overcharging

Leaving your phone plugged into a charger can lead to overcharging, which over time shortens your battery’s life. Overcharge protection keeps your battery healthy by limiting its charge to 80% if it’s been plugged in for three days.

When Overcharge protection is limiting your charge, you'll see in the status bar.

To fully charge your phone from 80%, just disconnect it from the charger and plug it in again.

To turn this feature on or off:

  1. Go to Settings > Battery > Overcharge protection.
  2. Turn it on or off .
