The problem is the heat. Even if you're using it, if it doesn't heat up, it doesn't make any difference. But if it heats up, which happens while playing heavy games, that's where the problem comes in
Ah good. My phone is almost 24/7 plugged in because I use it for work, then to watch movies & shows after and on days off I'm on it too. Basically chronically online which is horrible I'm aware lol. But I've only ever had it turn hot once or twice, and that's usually when I fall asleep holding it, and it ends up underneath me while I'm sleeping. I wake up to a burning spot on my side or back.
No, it's like he said the cycle of decharging-recharging the battery. It's SEI = Solid Electrolyte Interphase. Think of it like you're playing with building blocks, and you have a magic wall made out of jelly. Here is how it works: You have a toy battery with two sides: One side stores little energy balls called lithium ions (Li⁺). The other side wants to catch those energy balls and hold them safely. But there’s a problem! When the energy balls start moving into their new home (the battery's anode), they pass through a liquid (the battery’s juice, called electrolyte), and the liquid doesn’t like that. It starts to break and make a mess. So the battery says, “Wait! I need a magic jelly wall to stop the mess!” That magic jelly wall is called the SEI. What does the SEI do? 🧱 It builds itself when the battery is first used. 🚪 It lets energy balls (Li⁺ ions) go through. 🚫 But it blocks the troublemakers (electrons) who would make more mess. 🧹 It keeps the battery clean so it can work again and again. Why is the jelly wall important? If the jelly wall doesn’t form right, the battery: Gets tired fast 💔 Loses power ⚡ And can even get dangerous 😬 But if it’s a good jelly wall, the battery is: Happy 😊 Lasts long 🕰️ Stays safe 🔒 So, in short: SEI is the battery’s jelly wall that protects it, lets the good stuff through, and blocks the bad stuff. 🧃➡🧱➡😊 Want to see a picture of the jelly wall in action?

Hey this was a cool test, but the real thing that kills your battery is if it gets too hot while charging, and if it charges the battery poorly. What happened to make so many people assume just charging while using it always kills your battery is all a result of older devices, with worse quality batteries, and worse quality charging electronics, that allowed batteries to charge too fast right up to 100%, while also getting too hot, and then on top of this there would often be other issues. When the battery was full, in at least my old phone's case, with a an old Motorola droid turbo two, it wouldn't reduce charge rate to maintain a perfect 100% charge while you'd use it, it would still drain the battery to like 98% on the charger during heavy use, before then really quickly charging back up, and then draining again, and it'd ping back and fourth like that all while you played a game, making the whole device extra hot, and this ultimately killed that battery prematurely, because it was being subjected to its full fast charging rate, right up to 100%. Chargers are supposed to perfectly roll off as you get up towards 80%, really slowing down at 90%, and then charging as slow as possible for those last 3ish %, because this is the most healthy way to charge a lithium chemistry battery, and old devices that didn't do this killed their batteries early without question. There's also a good chance I got a poor quality battery, and they used cheap batteries in general in those earlier devices, as that specific device barely made it 3 years before becoming unusable off the charger. The device I've had since, a google Pixel 2XL, has lasted me 8 full years, and is still going strong. Only thing I really do differently from most people is I stop it from charging to full, if I don't need a full charge, and also always do this before I go to bed, leaving it off the charger at night. The goal is to avoid a 100% charge whenever you don't actually need the full charge, and if it's ever going to sit and do nothing for multiple hours, you want the charge level between 50% and 75%. This has resulted in better longevity without question, and this is because it's exactly how you're supposed to storage charge any lithium cell chemistry battery. In summary if you do want to extend your battery's longevity, don't charge to 100% if you don't expect you'll immediately be using the device, or otherwise actually need 100% of your battery. It basically boils down to the fact that sitting at a 100% charge activity eats away at your battery, and sitting at 0% charge also actively eats away at your battery, so avoid both. In a perfect world, your phone would automatically only charge to 50% when left on the charger, and you'd then schedule it to boost to a higher level or time a full charge, just before you plan on leaving the house, and this would be the way to ultimately make a lithium battery last as long as possible.
I heard somewhere that the newest phone setting already consider that, so your new 100 is your old 75, charger also cut off itself when it is full, so you didnt need to do all that and afraid of charging overnight. In the end, its all depend on the phone. I also did what you do at first, but, i get tired, i full chare everytime now, its been years since i do this, yea, maybe it reduce the battery a bit, not that i care, my phone is old anyway, i mean, its been two years since the last security update comes, forget the battery, a new malware might just done it.
My phone does have a setting where, if I plug it in at night, it will only charge until 80% until a scheduled time where it automatically resumes the charge, so the 'perfect world' isn't too far off
For those who don’t know, most modern electronics actually very slightly prefer to be charged while using, because the device mechanically switches to using power directly from incoming power, and uses the remaining power to charge the battery more slowly. The only thing that can cause more long term damage is heat, which typically only comes from super quick fast-charging or wireless charging, though MagSafe is a lot more efficient than traditional wireless charging.
I find ambient temperature has the most effect. The higher, the worse for your device. Most cell phones have inadequate cooling, the first switch for example has beefy cooling and uses a 2016 cell phone chip but can use high power graphics the entire time, a cell phone from the same year cannot. Higher temps also reduce charge speed.
Awesome video production!! One of the best I've seen and I'm a youtubeaholic. I would recommend a summary in the end in very simple terms, example "Using while charging does not reduce battery life or extend it, feel free to use your phone when you want." (or whatever the conclusion was ) =)
Let's take a moment to appreciate how these guys posted the juicy result of 6 months on an easy to watch short. They could've left the meaningful results on the video, since shorts give you basically no revenue, but they included them. Bravo to you guys! 👏

quality charging adapter provides good electrical isolation from the main, the electric field detector may detect some on the metal body, but it's no big deal. Just don't use counterfeit charging brick.
W vid, appreciated the full breakdown and comparison while accounting for the variables/ converting the cycle data of the charge group. Keep up the grind, quality vid! 👌 *Congrats on the cucumbers lol, took multitasking to a whole new level. 😂
One very important factor to consider would be the kind of workload the phone is under while charging. Stuff like an active wifi hotspot or gpu/cpu intenssive tasks coupled with the natural temperature increase from prolonged charging could damage the battery in the long run I know it from personal experience
That's kind of my impression too? Like the fact that it is charging slower matters? Almost like, if you cook in glass, you have to let it cool before putting in fridge. But I don't know.
Tl;dr Charging while using is better. Draining a battery then recharge it count as one cycle. Your battery life mostly depends on the number of cycles it goes through so less cycle the better. Therefore charging while using meant the battery went through less cycle for the same time period and thus are better for battery life.
Great video, the results are typical behaviour of lithium batteries. In general the 2 things that reduces their working life (that you can control) 1. Excessive heat (leaving it in sun, hot car, near space heaters ect 2. leaving them near or at zero charge (just keep it charged) In modern phones, the battery management system (BMS) takes care of all other issues. Charge whenever you want, use it as you want, you wont significantly increase or decrease the service life expectancy of the battery, just avoid the two mistakes mentioned.
The sfx made it a little hard to focus on what you were saying, but otherwise thanks for this video. I have a "prevent overcharge" function on my phone and I didn't really get what it was about, but I turned it on anyway. Now I understand what it does. Thanks!
It’ll always depend on overall power usage, apps using resources, and physical hardware going through hell, but im glad tests like these show the absolute baseline for battery wear. Generally i believe its worse to let a phone die completely than charge and use it.
This makes sense. Slower charging speeds are generally easier on the battery, so by slowing down the charge cycles, you spared the batteries a little bit of stress.
Don't know about apple but a lot of new android phones support "Charging separation" or "Bypass Charging" which just directly runs your phone using the charger. You can do that while gaming or heavy use or even keep it overnight with charge limit. This significantly reduces charge cycles used and battery wear.
I learned about this in my EDE class ( EDE is exploratory design and engineering) and i think this really cool. ( battery damage is call the memory effect by the way).
this could've been answered in like 1 minute. The rate of change on the battery level, and the magnitude of change is what matters most. i.e., faster drain and faster charge will degrade batteries faster. Also, draining to full and charging to full will also degrade them faster. Keeping batter capacity at or near 70% is optimal, generally speaking. Cool video though, I like how you added the plants!
This is the kind of sh!t that I love. Also, don’t use your phone while changing if the cable is even remotely damaged. I saw an article the other day about someone who got electrocuted when she was chilling with her phone while it was charging. And someone else died a few months back.
This happens usually because most phones split the charger's input into halves: one half to charge the battery and another to power the phone. So in this case, the phone is running more like a PC, where it's mostly powered directly from wall power rather than battery power. And from the battery's perspective, it's charging like normal, maybe just a bit slower. The only damage done is the combined heat from the CPU, screen and battery.
In fact, the main reason batteries come out of order is the heat. Whenever you use them, they are going through a process of temperature uprise, and it's normal until the battery gains extremely high degree of heat, that is not counted as tolerable towards to the accumulator recourses. You may use phone while charging without significant loss as long as the heat level is okay. To be precise - from 10°C to 35°C.
It's that the heat the one's who reduces battery lifespan more and iPhone has lower battery capacity making it more vulnerable to battery health plummeting

In modern phones, the battery management system (BMS) takes care of all other issues. Charge whenever you want, use it as you want, you wont significantly increase or decrease the service life expectancy of the battery, just avoid the two mistakes mentioned.
Bro, you're the coolest science channel ever. It's like you're the Hiro from Big Hero 6 in today's time.
This is actually dope
They really had a Timelapse of 193 days....6 months of investment in gardening and buying numerous cell phones just for a 30s shorts😮😮😮
The quality of this video is insane. Great research guys
Wow, the amount of effort you put into this experiment is insane.
I love this. A pure scientific research way with actual data. I salute whoever is in charge of this
came for the main topic, stayed for the wackey wavey inflatable arm flailing tube plants
The sfx made it a little hard to focus on what you were saying, but otherwise thanks for this video. I have a "prevent overcharge" function on my phone and I didn't really get what it was about, but I turned it on anyway. Now I understand what it does. Thanks!
It’ll always depend on overall power usage, apps using resources, and physical hardware going through hell, but im glad tests like these show the absolute baseline for battery wear. Generally i believe its worse to let a phone die completely than charge and use it.
I stayed for the dancing cucumber 😂 plants VS zombies
Omg the plant growing little hands and swinging them is such a cutie🤣
This is a remarkable experiment. The dedication 👌🏽.
That's a lot of time dedicated to this experience. The answer was worth it!
Yum! Those little vines trying to find a place to hang on to are so silly 😂
It makes sense. When you use your phone while charging the electricity would be directly provided for the plug bypassing the battery altogether.
This makes sense. Slower charging speeds are generally easier on the battery, so by slowing down the charge cycles, you spared the batteries a little bit of stress.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS all of them are so creative! And nice ways to have fun for your studio!!
Now this is pure content ❤
The plants growing to show the time lapse gets negated when the phones are removed from the set up 😂
I appreciate the dedication to testing, well done!
Don't know about apple but a lot of new android phones support "Charging separation" or "Bypass Charging" which just directly runs your phone using the charger. You can do that while gaming or heavy use or even keep it overnight with charge limit. This significantly reduces charge cycles used and battery wear.
My reaction was "why plants? No reason"
"Wait what's that"
"CUCUMBER 🥒"
I learned about this in my EDE class ( EDE is exploratory design and engineering) and i think this really cool. ( battery damage is call the memory effect by the way).
“A truly subscribe-worthy video. Hats off to you, man!’’
thank you for blessing my feed with this beautiful and well-edited short amongst all the slop I get!! highly appreciated :>
Yo, your editing is fucking outstanding, both audio and visual design. Just wanted you to know.
Thank you! Finally, someone answered this question
this could've been answered in like 1 minute. The rate of change on the battery level, and the magnitude of change is what matters most. i.e., faster drain and faster charge will degrade batteries faster. Also, draining to full and charging to full will also degrade them faster. Keeping batter capacity at or near 70% is optimal, generally speaking. Cool video though, I like how you added the plants!
Looked like the plants were dancing to the music lol
I think I discovered my hidden phobia with those timelapsed plants 😨
Time lapse of plants growing is so satisfying to watch 😂
Started a tech experiment and ended up making a profit on cucumbers.
This is the kind of sh!t that I love. Also, don’t use your phone while changing if the cable is even remotely damaged. I saw an article the other day about someone who got electrocuted when she was chilling with her phone while it was charging. And someone else died a few months back.
Loooool why did it look like the planets were reaching for the phones towards the start 😂
The plants... Smart touch ✌🏾✌🏾
The plants in the background to show the passing of time is actually genius
I WAS CHARGING MY PHONE WHILE WATCHING THIS... BUT I DECIDED TO UNPLUG MY PHONE TO CONTINUE WATCHING... AFTER WATCHING I....
I can’t fathom the genius of using plants in this. What an amazing idea
This happens usually because most phones split the charger's input into halves: one half to charge the battery and another to power the phone. So in this case, the phone is running more like a PC, where it's mostly powered directly from wall power rather than battery power. And from the battery's perspective, it's charging like normal, maybe just a bit slower. The only damage done is the combined heat from the CPU, screen and battery.
In fact, the main reason batteries come out of order is the heat. Whenever you use them, they are going through a process of temperature uprise, and it's normal until the battery gains extremely high degree of heat, that is not counted as tolerable towards to the accumulator recourses. You may use phone while charging without significant loss as long as the heat level is okay. To be precise - from 10°C to 35°C.
It's that the heat the one's who reduces battery lifespan more and iPhone has lower battery capacity making it more vulnerable to battery health plummeting
