Agreed that each time you charge the phone, it will shorten the
lifespan. But what is the factor that causes the shortening of the
lifespan ?
Is it due to the number of times of charging or the duration ? If I
were to charge every 2 days at for 1 hour each time, is the damage the
same as charging everyday for half an hour each time ?
Thanks.
