However, the newer-generation lithium batteries do better in full charge cycles, so not letting it get below 40% is a good rule of thumb there. And, you don\u2019t want to leave it charging all the time for another main reason \u2013 doing so can overheat the battery in some models, which is the number one thing you want to avoid.
