Optimize battery charging

Will it cause harm my battery when I leave my iphone charging at night even my optimized battery charging is on? I plug my charger around 10 pm and forgot to unplug it until 6:30 am.

It is best to do frequent shorter charges, rather than longer charges.


When your phone is plugged in to charge for a long period of time, especially if it is in a case that locks in the heat, the heat that is generated will slowly damage the phone's lithium ion battery cells over time. This is also true when charging a tablet or laptop.
