Yes, Samsung phones, like most modern smartphones, stop charging at 100%. However, this isn't a complete stop.
How Samsung Phones Handle 100% Charging
The charging process isn't a simple on/off switch. Instead, sophisticated charging circuits manage the battery's health. The phone's internal charger disconnects the battery from the power supply once it hits 100% charge. This prevents overcharging, which can damage the battery and shorten its lifespan. The charger then reconnects to maintain the charge around 99% or 98%, ensuring it stays topped off without constantly charging at maximum capacity. This cycle of disconnecting and reconnecting helps maximize battery health and longevity.
- Safety Feature: Stopping at 100% is a key safety feature protecting against overcharging damage.
- Battery Health: This method contributes significantly to extending the overall lifespan of the battery.
- Optimized Charging: The process is constantly monitored and managed to optimize the charging curve.
This method ensures your phone's battery performs optimally over its lifetime. This is a standard practice across many phone manufacturers, not just Samsung.
