Battery damage when overcharging tablet?

Tags: Mobile

Hi

So I have a Samsung Tab S6 lite for the kids, I have a spot under a cabinet hidden to charge phone/tablet. But because it’s hidden, there’s been a few occasions when I forget the tab is charging and have left it plugged in for 12-24 hours. Is that going to mess up my battery? Maybe overthinking it but I keep kicking myself when I realize that I forgot again lol

I know you are likely to get different opinions on this, but I would like to share my personal experience.

I use the Samsung Tab S7+ and typically charge it every night when I go to bed. By that time of day, the battery is down to 10% or less with my usage. I do not worry about leaving it plugged in so it can charge. The modern devices have built-in circuitry to prevent most overcharging today.

The same applies with my Samsung Galaxy S21 phone, except that I only need to recharge it every 2-3 days. I am a much heavier user of my tablet vs. my phone.

That model.

Doesn’t appear to support overcharging. As such, there is no issue.
