The Apple Watch is the best-selling smartwatch in the world and offers incredible functionalities, although its main drawback is the fact that it has a battery that barely exceeds 2 days in the best of cases. For this reason, doubts about recharging are very common and precisely in this article we are going to solve one of them. As we already raised in the headline, we will explain to you if it is good or bad to charge the Apple Watch throughout the night.
When is the best time to charge it?
We start with the conclusion: it is not a bad thing to charge the Apple Watch all night . Regardless of the time of day, having the Apple Watch charging for 6-8 hours does not have to be negative. While it is true that it will end up charging in much less time, it is okay to leave it charging even when it has reached 100%.
The system that the Apple watch has allows to have an optimized charge so that it is not negatively affected by continuously charging. The device is capable of preventing the entry of a good part of the charger’s energy when it reaches 100% charge, thus preventing it from overheating and allowing the entry of a minimum amount with which to continue 100% without discharging.
Each person has our own routines and in more recent versions of the Apple Watch it is possible to find much faster charges, so in 1-2 hours they could be fully charged from 0% to 100% and therefore be able to sleep with them without trouble. Now, if the clock bothers you at night or for any other reason you consider that it is the best time to charge it, do it without fear because it will not affect the deterioration of the battery.
What you should never do when recharging
There are several aspects that we believe you should know to avoid carrying out actions that do harm the battery and cause deterioration to occur faster. The first of them is that the load is intermittent , that is, that you are constantly putting it in and out of the charging base.
It is also not advisable to use it while it is charging , although it is perhaps the action that least damages the battery. One that can be decisive in the deterioration is the fact of using non-original cables and / or adapters , which could make charging less efficient, so always try to use accessories with Apple certification (even if they are not manufactured for them).
Also keep in mind, in line with what has been said about charging it for several hours, that it is not good either that you overdo it. That is, under no circumstances is it advisable to leave it charging for excessive hours and even days , since there it could be dangerous. If you are not going to use it for a while, it is preferable that you keep it in a drawer, but not with 100% load but between 50 and 80%.
