Yes, sorry should of been more specific. I ment why do they discharge even after having them charge completely? I just notice that is not only my phone but several others. I just curious.

Soak up is not a usual engineering term.
Do you mean discharge? They don’t at normal examination levels. High levels of radiation, including xrays, are ionizing and will make discharge paths for the battery in the air.
If you mean kill the batteries for further use or suck the weight out, nada.

Coming up for my tires to be done so I might get some freight and run some more. Watched them use a 5 foot long torque wrench one one of them. Looks like thread T/A shop is getting conscientious in its ancient age.

And I’m just sitting on this bench, wearing out my cell phone battery.

If you place your cell phone charging over night. Will it do any hurt to your battery, or ultimately shorten the life of the battery.

No it wont harm it, It stops taking a charge when the batteries are fully charged

Answer by Tedy
No not really. if u charge your cell and place yo cell on then it will never over charge. But if u turn it off an charge then u may notice some heat in te back of te cell but not alot. sum cells dont heat up at all . sum times a charger nos wen cell is done charging so it doesnt continue chargin.
