Below are the 7 mistakes you must avoid while charging your Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone.

1. Never Leave Your Smartphone Connected and Charging Whole Night

Most smartphone adapters these days have an inbuilt feature that cuts off the current when the battery within the smartphone is completely charged. This feature prevents your smartphone from overcharging and also helps the battery last longer. In case you are not sure that your Google Pixel 6 Pro charging adapter has this feature you can choose the safest way and don’t leave your Google Pixel 6 Pro charging for the whole night. This will prevent your Google Pixel smartphone from overcharging and hence save its battery from overcharging.

2. As far as Possible Don’t Use Your Google Pixel 6 Pro while it is Charging

Few people have the habit of playing games while their Google Pixel 6 Pro is charging this is not recommended as the processor present within the smartphone may heat up and this heat is not good for the battery health. When a heavy load is put on the processor of the smartphone like playing games, opening the camera, or using any heavy apps, the processor of the smartphone may generate heat which is not good. When both the heat produced by the smartphone due to extensive usage gets added to the heat produced by the charging process may add up and could degrade the battery of your Google Pixel 6 Pro and thus shorten the lifespan of the battery.

3. Don’t Use Low-Quality Chargers from Unknown Manufacturers or Low-Voltage Power

If you charge your Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone using a laptop or a power bank is not a good thing. Such things are only made for emergency use and should not be used to charge your Google Pixel smartphone all the time. It is good if you charge your Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone with a high-power voltage supply so your Google Pixel smartphone charges faster and also its battery life is good. You also need to find the source of high current voltage to charge your Google Pixel 6 Pro. For the same reason, some batteries that are charged using a laptop or some low-quality chargers don’t last long or get weak. The reason behind this is these things don’t have much power so that they can charge your Google Pixel 6 Pro as normal electricity does. However, these things weaken your Google Pixel smartphone battery.

4. Avoid Regular Charging

Allow your Google Pixel 6 Pro to discharge at least 50% when you again plug in your smartphone to the charger. Continuous and unnecessary charging of your smartphone shortens the lifespan of your Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone. Also, you need to keep in mind that you never allow your Google Pixel 6 Pro battery to drain completely.

5. Charge Your Google Pixel 6 Pro by Taking Off the Protective Case

It is recommended to charge your Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone by removing the protective case while charging. It is natural for the Google Pixel 6 Pro to become slightly warm while charging, however, the protective case acts as a barrier and slows down the process of heat dissipation. If possible, flip your Google Pixel 6 Pro and place it on the soft cloth to protect its display.

6. Avoid Placing Your Smartphone Under the Pillow While Charging

Many people have a habit of keeping their smartphone below their pillow so that it is easier to reach. Sometimes they leave it under their pillow even when their smartphone is still charging, which is quite risky. Google Pixel smartphones may heat up while charging and this heat needs to be dissipated to save your costly smartphone from any possible damage to itself or cause battery degradation. When the Google Pixel smartphones are kept under the pillow, your smartphone is unable to dispense the heat and it becomes extremely hot which is not a good sign both for the battery and the smartphone itself.

In case you want to have easy access to your Google Pixel smartphone at night it is better to place it at a nearby bedside table.

7. Avoid Using Third-Party Battery Apps

Avoid using any third-party battery apps. It has been seen that these apps affect the battery life negatively as these apps constantly run in the background, aggressively closing down other apps. Sometimes these third-party apps close down recommended apps that will further optimize your Google Pixel 6 Pro.
