How often do you charge your electronics?

  • I don't know if it's been asked yet or not... but yeah. Sorry if it has, and I'm just blind and fucking exhausted. DX

    Anyway, what the title says. :3

    I try to charge mine as often as I can. Usually, I forget though. Another reason is because my nano and iPhone both share a charger. That makes it hard to charge them both. I don't have an extra charger to charge both at once. I also end up letting my iPad get close to death because I become lazy. I use my iPad A LOT, just like I do my phone and nano; especially my nano. God forbid, I cannot for the life of me live without my nano. My phone could be on it's death bed, and I always end up charging my nano first. XD

    So, how about you then?

  • For most things: "Crap it's about out of power, I better plug it in now grumble grumble where's the power cord."

    For things like my phone: "Oh it's been out of power for a while, guess I better actually charge it now before I forget again."

    c:

    Yeah, I don't like being bothered to have to plug things in, really, so I end up waiting as long as I can before doing so.

  • I plug my chargers to my phone and tab every night, just so they'll have full batteries when I leave in the morning.

    While for my 3DS... unless I'm going to an event or a long trip (I normally charge it up the night before), I normally wait 'til it dies or is close to death haha.

  • Usually between 25%-50% I'll plug em in. I'm down to using one cable for three devices at the moment, so I have to be careful with what I use.

    I don't use my phone a lot anymore, so once a day. However, I always make sure to charge it every night even if my phone ends up with around 50% charge by the end of the day. I absolutely must make sure I have 100% at the start of each day or neglect will find its way to haunt me. The same goes for the watch, regardless if the day ends with around 35% battery remaining.

    The iPad, meanwhile, is plugged in majority of the time.

  • It depends on what it is. I have a charging dock for my iPod so I charge that every night easily enough, however I lose the charger for my phone more times than I can count.

  • It depends on my usage really, I tend to charge my phone up over night so I can make sure that my alarm will go off. Generally though if I've been using it a lot I'll charge it when it hits below 10%, and for my laptop I'll charge it whenever it starts to kick off with me complaining that it's only got 10%/7% left.
    As for my other devices (ereader, 3ds, netbook, etc.) I tend to charge them up whenever I need them.

  • I charge my phone about the end of every other day - before I changed the ROM on my phone it could barely last one day worth of moderate usage. My 3DS seems to be able to last about 3 days of an hours use, If I know I'll be out all day I charge everything the night before.

    I charge my phone the night before if I have to go to work the next day. Otherwise I just wait until it's about dead or dead hahah. Everything else I tend to just wait until it's about to die or does die before I charge it. Or if I'm about to go on some trip and need it fully charged beforehand. That's about it though.

  • Whenever the battery drops below 10% I'll charge it back up if I can find a charger nearby. I have a habit of basically just using them until they run out of power though.

    I do the same with my 3DS as well. Sometimes though, I'll put it on charge when it doesn't really need it. I do this just in case I put down my game and have to do something. It helps to keep the battery from dying. XD

    I charge my phone when it gets around 60 to 70%, sometimes 40 or 50%. It really depends if I'm near a place I can charge it, which isn't often. I use my phone a lot for Twitter and Instagram (This what happens when you have a very active hero who likes to make your phone squee whenever he feels like it). My iPad usually gets charged possibly between 10% to 60%. This depends on whether I plan on going somewhere with it. I use my iPad A LOT for writing.

    My nano on the other hand is like my life. I'll charge it even if it's only half dead.

    I just keep things charged whenever possible so that I don't end up with a surprise later on in the day. Sometimes I wish batteries lasted longer...

    That means things are going to be plugged in overnight so that they start out with a full charge at the beginning of the next day. I also keep a large-ish USB power supply should my phone run low on battery.

    not very often...i either forget or i'm too lazy. .-.

    i'm only consistent charging up my game consoles, so as soon as the light turns red i plug them in. i'd never wanna risk losing all my progress. ;;

  • Usually it's when the power is in the red, or in the case of my 3DS and Wii U, blinking red. But if I am going somewhere like school or a far place and the device is only half way charged, I'll charge it fully just in case.

    i haven't charged my 3ds in like two days, so when i went to play it today, it was already dying. i just need to learn to plug it in while im asleep.
