How long before you feel the need to recharge your phone?

I find there are two kinds. Those who let their phone damn near run out or get to 1% before recharging and those who feel the need to recharge when it gets near 50% or so. I don't like mine below 50 if not higher. I probably have gotten the low battery alert less than five times.

Gotta keep the phone woke so I can film the Po-Po if I get pulled over.

21%, just to be different.

Seriously though, I'm on an iPhone and you might as well be shooting a 22 around my feet when that battery symbol turns red.

I start getting antsy to find a way to charge around 60%. Yeah, I'm a little neurotic when it comes to this.

I've been stuck somewhere with no charger, looked at my phone and it was at 50%; 30 minutes later (with little usage) it was down to 20%. Now I try to keep an extra charging bar/cable with me just in case I need it.

I'm the third kind. I'm so obsessive about it I have my iPhone in a battery case. It evens acts like it's running low and I'm flipping that switch.

It depends on how many police interactions I record a day.

I try to stay ahead of it in the sense that if I notice it's getting low enough that it'll die on my next trip out, I'll plug it in, but not particularly worried. Worst case, turn it off so i have it in case of emergency...

I was told it messed up the battery if you constantly charge it. So now I let it run dead unless it can't make it through the night and be my alarm.

You should charge your phone AND post less.

5% and I start getting nervous. Turning down the brightness gives me enough time to get to the charger.

Pretty much anything under 50% and I get anxious. I honestly need a new phone though, mine is almost 2 years old.

I plug mine up to charge every night whether it needs it or not. hardly ever goes dead that way, unless I am doing a lot of driving through areas with no service.

I did not even know there were people that did not charge them overnight. Lol.

If it's at 85 and I'm right by a charger, I'll charge it to a 100. If not, then it depends how long until I will be able to charge it.

Depends. If it's during the day I start charging around 50% if I'm commenting on an LSUTangerine thread I just let it die.








Really, if it's late at night I let it go until it dies because I'll just be charging it over night anyways.
