Can I use my tablet while charging?

New generation tablets on Android and Apple platforms are equipped with batteries that provide long service life under any conditions. However, in order for the device to last for a long time without replacing the battery, you need to charge it correctly and use it correctly while charging.

Do I need to turn off the tablet while charging?

The tablet will charge faster if you reduce the brightness and turn off the Internet. Completely turning off the device will allow the device to speed up the power supply and not heat up. This method is suitable if the device is charged from a PowerBank or requires quick charging. However, this action is not necessary, so when powering the device from a 220 W network, the device does not need to be turned off.

If you want to save energy on your tablet and then use it for a long time, then you should turn it off after 40%. When you turn on the device, it will have the same number on it, which will allow you to go longer without recharging. This is due to the “memory” of modern batteries, which allows you to remember the moment of charging and discharge in the same way as at 100%.

Important! Turning off the tablet while charging is necessary in two cases: you need quick recharging from the network or power bank and the device is planned to be used for a long time. In all other cases, the tablet does not need to be turned off while charging, since it will consume more power to turn it on.

Is it possible to use a tablet while charging?

There are several types of batteries: lithium ion and lead-acid. They are used in modern models of tablets and phones, so before purchasing and using the device you need to find out about the type of battery. This is necessary to ensure that there are no overheating problems during power supply.

Lithium ion batteries are found in almost all tablets and smartphones of the 21st century. Its main feature is that it heats up quickly under high loads. A device with such a battery should not be used while it is powered, so as not to overload the gadget and extend its service life.

Lead-acid batteries are rarely used in devices, but they can still be found on older models. It can be used in any conditions and loads, so you can use the tablet on power. However, it is worth considering that such batteries require monitoring. The new device will require three complete discharges and charges to increase battery capacity.

How does this affect the battery?

The battery of a modern device is designed in such a way that when fully charged (100%), the power supply stops receiving new charge. If the tablet is on power and gradually begins to discharge, then the unit allows current to flow into the battery. It turns out that the battery is charged until the charge figures are less than 100%. It is often possible to notice a cold or slightly warm charger in the morning, this indicates that the battery did not receive excess power and turned off after being fully charged.

Infrequent use of the device while powered will not affect the battery condition in any way.If you urgently need to use the tablet to make a call or respond to SMS, this will not affect the battery in any way. However, you should not listen to music, watch movies or play games while charging - these activities consume more power than the mains source can provide, which will lead to heating of the battery and a decrease in service life.

Modern tablets are equipped with batteries that are designed to last 2-3 years of full use. If you use the device correctly, then replacing the battery can be postponed for another 1 – 1.5 years. To do this, you need to know the type of battery in it and remember its parameters, this will allow you to charge the device correctly.
