Charging iPhone 6s

It will not hurt it at all. Just plug the phone in and charge when you can. The device cannot overcharge if you reach 100%, it knows to shut itself off.

You're welcome.

Check this out to learn how the battery works. This was only a concern on older devices with non-lithium-ion batteries.

Iphone 6s taking 2.5 hours to charge completely(Using genuine charger).Is it normal?

Iphone 6s taking 2.5 hours to charge completely(Using genuine charger and wire).Is it normal?

The time for it to charge would be dependent on how discharge the battery was, and if it is still in use.

I am not using the device while charging.May have received a few whatsapp messages though.I charged it from 1% to 100%.

So basically from almost dead to 100% and wondering if 2.5 hours to do this is normal. I would say yes. The link provided earlier, and this link http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/ provide a great deal of information about batteries that you can read and comprehend.

Thanks mate 🙂

You're welcome.

"The device cannot overcharge if you reach 100%, it knows to shut itself off." I got it.

But will it hurt the battery life if I charge, for example, from 50% to 70% and unplug? Should I always charge until 100%?

Or, make it simpler: Can I charge whenever I want and for no specific time?

Thanks

No it will not hurt, you can unplug and plug to charge whenever you have the opportunity if you like. You do not need to always charge to 100%. Do as you want, when you want, and it will not affect the battery.

Great! Thanks for helping!
There have been so many recent articles regarding the best practices how to charge a battery... Sometimes it is difficult to know what is right and not.

Thanks a lot.

Most of the papers regarding battery charging have been linked to the old style rechargeable batteries. The newer lithium ion batteries now do not suffer from memory as the older nickel batteries did. They do have full charging cycles, but that information has to do with full cycles. You can read up on that if you like. I don't have any specific links, but this link from Apple might help you. http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/
