I charge my iPhone 6s Plus over night.
3-4 hours before I go to bed, I have my battery at 15-20%, currently 24%. Is it okay to charge a bit, for example from 20% to 35% and then unplug and put it back when I go to sleep? How does it affect my battery life?

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.
Perfect!
Thanks for helping
You're welcome.
I have read that the Wi-fi consumes less battery than the LTE/4G connection. I have two doubts regarding this issue:
1) Is this true?
2) If I have both the W-fi and LTE turned on, the iPhone will connect via Wi-fi. But having also the LTE on, will the battery life goes faster?
Thanks 🙂

Some people feel that battery is used more quickly with both on. I was just reading a similar question on another forum. To be honest, with cellular data, battery usage is dependent on signal strength. If there is a weaker signal, then the battery will show more use as the cellular radio will work harder. I don't see that much difference, and I have both cellular and Wi-Fi on all the time. When within range of a known Wi-Fi, my phone uses it. When not, then I'm on cellular data. I do not see that much difference in battery life, and I believe that going into settings and turning off and on cellular data will use more than just leaving it alone. At the end of the day, I still have battery left, and I charge my phone overnight for use the next day. Many days when not at work, my phone can last for 2 days without a charge. People can tend to read things and get overwhelmed by 1-2% battery for no real reason.
So, to just address your questions:
1. Yes, somewhat
2. Yes, but not to the point that you are going to watch the battery level decrease before your eyes.
Once again, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation 🙂
