Energy Week: Overcharging mobile at night is National waste

Most of us have habit of keeping mobile for charging during while we are asleep.

I personally follow 1080 cycle i.e charge when battery is 10% left and disconnect charger when battery is 80% charged.  This cycle increase battery life. Now coming to wastage of electricity by overcharging- Study says approximately 4-5watts are consumed per hour during overcharge of battery for rest of night which is very very less on personal level or family.
