Iphone battery life

It's fine to charge it every night as it is a Lithium Ion battery. Having to fully cycle the battery every time to preserve battery life was for Nickel Cadmium batteries from a few years ago. Apple does say to fully cycle it at least once a month though. Hope this helps.

There have been numerous threads that have addressed this issue in the past.

I would recommend that you do a search through the search capability on the upper right of the page that you are viewing.

Good luck!

Is it better to always run your battery as low as possible before charging it, or is it okay to charge your iphone every night?

I normally charge it every night. At times, it dies completely and that's great since it gives it a good condition.

Now, to clarify your question a bit, here's the following:

A charge cycle means using all of the battery’s power, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could listen to your iPod for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put notebook, iPod, and iPhone batteries through many charge cycles before they will only hold 80% of original battery capacity.
