It helps <strong>preserve the health of the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/stem\/battery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>battery<\/strong><\/a> and reduce the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/stem\/lithium-ion-battery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">memory effect in lithium-ion batteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The device learns the user&#8217;s <strong>charging patterns <\/strong>and <strong>regulates the charge during prolonged charging times<\/strong>. Smartphones also use the information from alarms or sleep profiles and do not disturb mode to know when the user will leave the device plugged in for a long time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does optimized charging work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimized charging <strong>works in slightly different ways depending on the device and its operating system<\/strong>; however, the general principle is as follows: by plugging it into the electric current, the device <strong>fast-charges up to 80%<\/strong> of the battery capacity. The remaining <strong>20%<\/strong> is <strong>slow-charged<\/strong>, regulating the charging time to the estimated time the apparatus will be unplugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>example<\/strong>, if a cellphone has an alarm clock set for 7:00 in the morning and the user starts charging at midnight, the device will most likely stay plugged in for those 7 hours. Depending on those times, the device will regulate charging so that the user has a 100% charge when they wake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>laptops<\/strong>, optimized charging works a little differently. By having the feature turned on, the device can stay plugged in indefinitely, but <strong>charging stays at less than 100%<\/strong>. When this level is reached, the battery will record a 100% smart charge, even if this level does not correspond to the battery&#8217;s total capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the benefits of using optimized charging?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Completely charging and discharging batteries reduces their capacities and has negative effects on their long-term performance.
