My wife’s phone dies every. single. day. and I don’t know why she doesn’t just charge it at night.

I’m just wondering how people live like this 😅

    I thought you’re not supposed to keep things charging after they reach full battery. Also I don’t have a plug near my bed lol

      Recent smartphones learn your patterns and don’t fill up until the morning. For instance my phone currently is stuck at 80% and says it’ll be fully charged at 7AM

    I feel this pain. Wife’s battery-powered devices are always in a constant state of dying. Something has convinced her that it’s better to let the battery almost! die, then charge it to full, but not leave it plugged in because that will degrade the battery; meaning it never gets charged overnight. I’m sure there’s a small kernel of truth in where she learned that, but it’s almost a joke at this point when she goes scrambling for her charger when using her phone, tablet, etc. It’s painful, but also adorable? I guess. Anyway, it’s not a hill I’m willing to die on, so I just let it be and laugh almost everytime it happens.

      This mindset is so frustrating. My fiancee and I will have a discussion like do you want to go do _______. We decide to go, and now ensues the I need to let my phone charge some before we go. Waiting ~30 minutes before leaving to go somewhere is very disadvantages.
