Is frequent charging bad?
If you’re unsure whether there’s a “right” way to charge your phone—or whether charging it too long, too often, or too fast can damage the battery—you’re not alone. Others fastidiously keep their battery between 40% and 80%, never allowing a full charge, under the belief that the battery will last longer as a result.
How often should you recharge your battery?
No, or at least not every time you charge it. Some people recommend that you do a full zero to 100% battery recharge (a “charge cycle”) once a month – as this re-calibrates the battery, which is a bit like restarting your computer.
Do power banks ruin your phone?

In any battery, be it an alkaline battery found in a flashlight or a lead acid battery in a car, the same sort of thing can happen.

Why does a car battery not recharge itself?
