How long should I charge an Iphone 5c when i first get it?

I just got an Iphone 5c and my dad told me to charge it overnight before I use it. My friend when he got his Iphone 4 he had to wait until it ran out of battery and then charge it until it reaches 100%. He did this for a week. How should I charge my iphone 5c is it the same?

2 hours or so.

2 hours. Don't leave it in all night. This can cause the battery to bloat and have less and less of a battery charge over time. The more you charge the battery, over time it will need more charging time and have less time out of the charger. Almost all electronics devices get bloated batteries if you leave them plugged in constantly, just charge it until until it reads 100% then unplug it, you can leave it on and charge it and just check when it reaches 100%.

And you don't have to wait until it reaches 0%, you can charge it at 25%, 45%, 55% and etc all the way up to 99%. If your friend only charged when it was at 0%, there was something wrong with his phone. I charge my Iphone 4 when it's about 20%.

  • Should I let iPhone 5 die all the way before doing first charge? I have some people telling me that I should let it die all the way before first charge and I have people telling me it shouldn't die.
  • Should I completely drain my iPhone 5c's battery before first charge? I've just got my brand new iPhone 5c today and it came with about 90% battery when I first turned it on. I'm now on it and it has 55% charge. I'm wondering wether I should drain the battery to 0% then fully recharge it to 100%, that's what used to be recommended but I'm not sure if you still have to do it. Will you please let me know what I should do. I will get to sleep in around 2 hours, FYI.
