All batteries, as
we presently know them, decline in their ability to store energy over time. They have a finite number of charge and
discharge cycles. Constantly draining a
battery down to close to zero percent will dramatically reduce battery life.
The battery in my
smarter-than-me-phone is showing some signs of weakening. For this reason, I have developed a habit of
trying to keep my charge level well above thirty percent. Last evening, following a day of heavy phone
use, I placed my glass of wine on my wireless charger and my phone on a drink
coaster.
After a few sip cycles
of wine, I realized my charging efforts were, as my father used to declare, “bass-akwards.”
And, no, my wine
did not accept a charge.
All humans, as we
presently know them, decline in their ability to charge phones over time.
