Is it ok to charge your iphone overnight?

Hi. So I charge my iphone 5 overnight. I was wondering if overcharging it could harm the iPhones battery. Please answer :)

You cannot overcharge it. The phone will only charge as long as it needs to. I connect mine every night so it is nice and fresh in the morning with a full charge.

Can you charge your iPad overnight

Is it bad to charge your ipad2 overnight when you sleep?

Not at all. You can charge it anytime. I charge mine every night apparently with no ill effects.

Is it safe to charge an iPhone overnight using a USB port on a surge protector?

I just bought a new surge protector that has two USB ports built in. I know it is safe to charge an iPhone using the USB ports on a computer, and it is safe to charge an iPhone using the supplied power adapter. However, I have heard that the supplied power adapter (the brick) that comes with the phone automatically stops charging the iPhone when it reaches 100%. I normally leave my iPhone charging overnight. So my question is, would it be safe to charge my iPhone overnight via the built in USB port on my new surge protector? Or should i continue using the power adapter that it came with?
This is the surge protector i purchased.

Yes, it's safe. The phone is actually what stops the charging.

HOW MANY HOURS DID YOU CHARGE YOUR iPHONE FOR THE 1ST TIME OUT OF THE BOX?

As the title says.
And how soon does the battery start to finish when watching YouTube after a FULL CHARGE?
I can watch abt 3 or 4 videos (between 2 to 10 mins long each) + searching youtube for a minute or two before I notice the FULL BATTERY starts to drain :S
So in total lets say after 15 minutes my battery starts to go down.
Is that normal? or is something wrong with my battery?

I provide you a link yesterday with this and other information about the battery which answers this question so here it is again.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/
+Lithium-ion batteries pack in a higher power density than nickel-based batteries. This gives you a longer battery life in a lighter package, as lithium is the lightest metal. *You can also recharge a lithium-ion battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep nickel-based batteries at peak performance.*+
Charging an iPhone battery for 15 hours doesn't accomplish anything. After the battery reaches 80%, it reverts to a trickle charge for the remaining and when at 100%, charging stops. Charging can't go past 100%.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

Charge your iPhone within the case.

Is it safe? Or does the device get overheated? For instance...when i charge my iPhone, i usually do it with the iPhone inside its "iPod sock", and if i touch it i can feel it a little warmer. Does this happens just becouse the battery gets charged or becouse i charge it inside the sock?
Thank you in advance.

Hey Marco,
I don't know if the "sock" would cause a problem, it probably would not.
The iPhone may get warm while charging.

Do you charge your iphone 5 before setting it up?????

My new iphone 5 has just arrived and I really need to know if I have to charge it before I set it all up ?!?!??PLEASE HELP

No, you don't. It should be about 75% charged out of the box.

Charging your iPhone,laptop and any other Mac products in Europe

For the iPhone,ipod and mac book ,when travelling to Europe do you need a converter or just a plug adapter

Yup, to the MacBook as well. The power supplies are multi voltage capable (100-240vAC @50-60hZ). Any plug adapter with the correct configuration should work.

WHICH IS THE BEST & FASTEST WAY TO CHARGE YOUR iPHONE?

Connected to a PC / laptop?
OR
Plugged into the wall?
Maybe the same?

Powered USB ports use a standardized voltage. It doesn't matter which one you plug it into so long as it is powered.
Generally, all USB ports are powered. Exceptions may include non-powered USB hubs, such as the Apple keyboard. So long as you plug it into a USB port directly on the case/motherboard it will be powered.

HT1476 Is it recommended to let your IPhone battery die before charging it?

Which is the best way of managing the way you charge your IPhone? I've heard that it is by letting it run out of battery, and until then charging it until it reaches 100%. Though some say that it should be done by plugging it when it's 1% and unplugging it when its almost a 100%, and doing the previous method once a month.

The battery is a lithium type one. One of the many advantages of a lithium battery is that is doesn't build up a memory of it's high and low points. Consequently you can charge it whenever you want to knowing you are not going to damage it.
However, having said that, some manufacturers recommend you should periodically allow the battery to completely drain then charge it overnight. The battery has a chip which prevents it from going completely dead as a lithium needs to have a minimal amount of charge to stay alive, if it goes beyond that point the battery dies.
All batteries will eventually die and a rule of thumb is that most batteries operate to an optimum level up to 600 charges. Anything beyond that is when you will notice the battery does not hold its charge as much as it used to.
Best advice I can give is just to charge it when you need to and allow it to completely discharge once every 3 months and charge it overnight.

Fixing your iPhone 5 Battery Life - Once and for all!

Greetings folks - I'll get right into it here:
1. Let your iphone 5 drain completely out.
2. BUT, Once it gets on 1% however, you must go into: Settings>General>Rest>Reset All Settings.
(note: This will not ruin ANY of your personal info the phone. You will loose only a slight amount of settings for apple only apps. As well as your home and lock screen photos will need replacing. All very easy stuff to redo. Again, no worries here.
3. Charge your iphone for 2 hours or more ( for best results charge overnight)
Now, my histroy is this:
New iPhone 5 from factory. Lost 16% on standby overnight. And was continuing to loose battery at an unaceptable rate. Tried reseting DFU Restore with new firmware (as I read in other forums) That did NOT work for me. As of right now I am using all my features my iphone touts. No turning off notifcations for apps or bringing brightness lower. The ONLY thing I have turned off in iCloud is BOTH "Photo Stream" and Documents and Data. As, I do not need these on. I will be trying to turn them on in couple days and see if it makes difference. Oh, and I have check mail to 'Every hour'.
Please, if you Iphone 5 is suffering from BAD battery, this work around does works, just wish apple would allow for a script to do this for us all.
Plese give it a try. I was seriously ready to send my phone back until I read about "resetting all settings".
cheers

Hey there chris11350,
It sounds like you are seeing various unexpected issues when using your phone. I would start by closing all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:

Found a dead spider in my charging port (iphone 4) this morning. Now phone wont charge at all... What can I do? It's now all totally cleared of lint and legs :/

This morning my phone wouldnt charge, I tried three different charging cables. They are lighting up to show they are working, but the phone does not charge or show a symbol or connect to the computer.
So i cleaned out the lint from inside the charging port. and inside all the chargers, some of them were new off the shelf so would not be the problem.
I found a dead spider inside the port. Have blown into it, thoroughly cleaned with a needle any debris and fluff and spider legs etc...
It still wont charge. I have ten percent battery... it's off for now. It is not covered for a chat with apple at all, unless i pay $40 which is crazy expensive.
Any ideas of what to do to save this phone? Obviously i cant back it up because it wont plug in to anything.
For now it is not on charge, just trying to let it dry out.
Probably i squashed this spider when plugging it in. therefore there could be spider guts all ruining the inside? I don't know how the ports are made. Up until not charging
there were no issues at all.

Hi lisellemono1,
I'm sorry to hear you are having charging issues with your iPhone; I know how frustrating that can be. Based on your description and the possibility that there may be other debris or residue still in the charging port, you may need to have your iPhone evaluated or serviced.

Cannot charge my iphone 6 after updating to ios 8.3

Dear Sir/Mdm
After updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.3, and also updating the carrier setting, now, I cannot charge my phone. I have tried so many different USB cables, all failed.

Is it bad to charge my iphone over a 100% for an 1hour?

So I plugged my phone in to charge but totally forgot to check how much it was charged to after a couple hours I look and it's 100%
Is it bad to charge your iPhone over a 100% this is my first time ever doing it and I have a iPhone 5s?

You can and should charge as often and as long as possible... deep discharges are hard on lithium batteries. Normal mobile use will usually result in the one charge cycle/month that Apple recommends although it's OK to fully discharge and then recharge to 100% every once in a while to recalibrate the battery meter.
Also, you cannot overcharge the device, thus you can leave it plugged in as long as you like.
