| Mobile devices now run on lithium-based batteries, which stop charging after the battery reaches its full capacity (video below) |

Here is a possible definitive answer to an age-old question: Can you leave your phone charging through the night?
The gist of the rambling answer from Android Authority is, yes, you can. It won’t kill your phone.
The older phones before 2000 would heat up if kept plugged in overnight.
But mobile devices now run on lithium-based batteries and have no problem with that.
They stop charging after the battery reaches its full capacity and start using the connected charger as their primary power source.
So, when you get up in the morning, you start your day with a fully-charged battery.

There is a word of caution nevertheless. Each battery is capable of a finite number of charge-and-discharge cycles.
With each cycle, the capacity of the battery comes down a little. So, to extend the life of the battery, try to keep your battery’s charge level between 40 percent and 80 percent power.
That would mean, try not to leave them for charging overnight.
