Is FoxKat still around on this forum? The app BatteryDoctor says trickle charging over 9 hours is bad for the smartphone's battery. Is this true?
Thanks for the reasurrance. I was afraid I had damaged my phone's battery already by leaving it on the charger for too long. (For like a day)
Most phones have a built in variance for parasitic voltage drops and will not start an active charge until things drop to a certain point. My Inc 1 for example would not trigger a trickle charge until it dropped to 90%.
Probably the best things you can do for battery health is don't plug in your phone to charge when your battery percentage is above 80-85% and don't let it get below 10% anymore than you have to. Other than that you're good to go.

The Motorola droid MAXX pops up a hint, that to prolong battery health "top off the tank" frequently. Ugh, cringe.
