When you get a new phone, should you let it die right away or charge it asap?

Question

Ive been told your battery lasts longer when you let it die on its own then charge it. Not charge it when it still has some power. Is this true?

Answer 1

you should charge it right away and once a month you should let it completely die and completely re-charge it

thats what ive heard

Answer 2

ITS BETTER WHEN IT DIES CUZ THEN DA BATTERY ***** UP UNLESS U KNOW UR ABOUT 2 GO OUT && HAVE LIKE A BAR OR TWO U COULD CHARGE IT I GUESS 1CE IN A WHILE IT DONT MATTER

Answer 3

yea apparently thats true.. you need to let die out or go to low battery.. but if the phone is out of the box then you need to charge it for a few hours. even if it shows you a full battery

Answer 4

Charge it when u have like 1 or 2 battery bars. or whenever needed

Answer 5

I've heard that too. I charge mine when I have 2 bars though because I never want to get caught somewhere with a dead phone.

Answer 6

i  charge mine when it has 2 bars left so it doesn't die on me the next day.
