Energy Week: Overcharging mobile at night is National waste

Most of us have habit of keeping mobile for charging during while we are asleep. After 2 to 3 hours of charging, mobile battery is fully charged and for the rest part of night battery is getting overcharged.

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.

Now Let's calculate -
4watts x 6hours of overcharge = 24 Watt-hours.
Consider mobile users in India are 800 million and only 10% people have this habit = 8 crores people x 24 watt-hour =19.2 lakh KWattHrs wasted every night. (huge na???)
Now this 1920 MWatt power is waste and Rs5 crore to create 1 MWatt power.
Which in turn approx Rs10k crore. Don't open your mouth just avoid overcharging to increase battery life and waste power.

Bund bund se sagar barta hai aur khali bhi hota hai

 Think it ACT now
Happy Energy week
28 to 31 Dec
