I left an iPod on to charge all the time and it caused the battery to swlel to the point that the device came totally apart, the front detached from the back. When I had it fixed, the tech person said it is not recommended to leave any device like that plugged in all of the time. So now, I make sure, even if the battery runs down to only charge it when it is necessary, when I need to use the device.

Subject: Harming battery if left on a charger all the time

Hello everyone



Does it do more harm than good if I leave my iPhone 8 on a charger all the time?

I have read somewhere that phones and tablets only have so many: charge cycles before they can't hold a charge anymore.

I have been told by apple that they recommend not: fully discharge the device but top it up regularly. However, I wasn't sure about leaving it on the charger for all of the time. Obviously though, I would take it off if I had to go out somewhere.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can clear up if leaving on charge is either good: or bad for the overall health of an iPhone 8 battery.

Daniel
