Charge it whenever you want to.
Its better to charge it everyday from 40% to 100% than to charge it every day from 0% to 100%.
The shorter the charge cycles the longer your battery will last (lifetime wise)

Apparently my phone has been off charge for 3H36M when infact it has been 6H30 mins..
I am using CM9. Anyone else coming across this?

Calibrate your battery....cwm, wipe battery stats, reboot, drain battery to the point where your phone won't turn on, charge whilst phone is off, when your phone says its fully charged, remove charger and plug back in to make sure, power on, drain battery again and repeat the process from charging with the device off.
Do that around 4 times. And then maintain your battery by not charging everyday, run your battery completely dead around twice a week. Turn wifi/data off when not using it, auto brightness, bluetooth off, minimize the use of widgets and lwp

Thanks for being so informative. I will do all of that. Is there a chance my phone will screw it self by re calibrating via cmw?
Also I trust your word about draining the battery twice a week, but I'm also curious as to why I've read in some places that you shouldn't let your batt drop below 10%. Is there a specific reason or is it just a false piece of information ?

Reset the stats does no harm . Drain twice a week is pure bull****.

Conditioning is more important than the initial charging of a lithium-ion battery.
Run it on the charge for an hour or two extra. But make sure you use the battery to around 20% charge then recharge it fully.
Depending on who you ask, this seems to be the best for longevity for Li batteries.
OK thank you

it's also very damaging to run lithium batteries flat (like you see in some screenshots where people run it to like 1%)
optimum charge for lithium is between around 30% and 80%. they will get better life with regular top up charges rather than full discharge and charge.
Re Samsung S3 GT-19000
I asked the same question to customer services when I got mine and was told charge first time for 8 hours,. even though the batt will come with some charge already in it,. they told me charge for 4 hours, then you can turn it on but leave it continue charging for a further 4 hours with minimal use, then your ready to go, the standby life is only a couple of days,. from experience, but if your browsing or playing games/watching video etc it will only last 7 to 10 hours,. hope thats helpful,. regards Gwest
No need to charge for x hours before use. That, and those "fully charged before discharge", "fully discharged before recharge" are for nickel battery which has memory effect. Lithium battery has no memory effect but natural degradation. To slow the degradation, just avoid fully discharge and high temperature.
This isn't very important but for my phone it takes almost 4 hours for a 100% charge from 0% i think this is weird, and if it is how can i make it charge faster? Siyah kernel discharge the battery faster?? I'm charging it from AC not usb

charging from 0 % to 100% do always take time since ur cahrging current is ltd to 650mA. so that time of 4Hrs is quite Normal.
but u should not allow the battery to drain completely like that(0%) but charge the phone when its around 15~20%.
also u can change the Kernel and see
Will leaving your phone charging all night ( 8hrs) damage the battery?

No.
My understanding is that it discharges to about 95% when the battery is fully charged, then starts charging again. That kind of cycling does not damage a Lithium-Ion battery.
Edit: Here's a thread that discusses the charge/discharge cycle.

I have a Lithium Polymer 4000 mAh Extended Battery by Sedio, and the longer I charge it, the better it performs. On a 12 hour charge I get about 72 hour battery life on Moderate Usage

I leave mine charging every night. Never had any problems. Lithium Ion batteries are pretty forgiving. You can pretty much charge them whenever you want as much as you want.

I think its alright! Yup its little slow but its fine! When I was having a stock S3, it used to take 2 + hrs for complete charging (0%-100%)
If you are not satisfied then you can change your charger!
Or if you are are rooted user then u can try by changing charging settings in your kernel(only if u have a custom kernel)!
Press thanks if it helped you! :silly:
Yea, no need to panic. Same here.

You could use a custom kernel modifing the charge settings but BE CAREFUL, could be dangerous for your battery if you will exaggerate
The older your battery is then the smaller it's capacity and the quicker it will charge. A brand new battery should take around 4 hours to charge, so your battery has lost 40% of it's original capacity -assuming your charger and internal charging circuit of the phone remain to spec.
