Things got even worse as the battery aged. But, there's a long-held belief that charging your smartphone in short bursts will cause long term damage to the batteries, and you're better off waiting until they're close to dead before charging them. But this isn't true according to a site belonging to battery company Cadex called  Battery University . They argue that leaving your phone plugged in when it's fully charged (like say, if you put it charging overnight) is bad for the battery in the long run. Once your phone reaches the desired 100% battery when it's plugged in, it receives "trickle charges" to maintain the battery at ful
