Climate Quick Tip: Don’t Over Charge

When you leave your cell phone plugged into its charger all night, it is using up unnecessary energy even after it has charged to 100%, damaging your phone battery and raising your electricity bill. Instead, charge it at a time when you can unplug it as soon as it reaches max battery power.

Unplug your phone as soon as it reaches 100% power to prevent unnecessary damage to your phone’s battery and your electricity bill.
