Overnight Charging

A couple of hours and the battery gets fully charged but we are asleep and there is no way to turn off the switch. This results into overheating and which is a typical issue with lithium batteries. The best way not to get into this situation is, put your phone on charging as soon as you are back to your home.
Cheap Substitutes

Most of them affect battery life negatively as they constantly run in the background, aggressively shut down other apps; some take over the lock screen to load advertisements and even recommend apps that will further optimize your smartphone. Also, do not fall for the browser ads that con you into installing an app because your phone is “apparently” low on memory.

Thus, if you notice your smartphone heating up when it’s charging up then unplug it until it cools down. If you are outside in the sun then keep it covered, it will protect your battery.

To back up your phone battery invest in power banks that promise protection against voltage surge, short circuit, over-current and over charging. These features ensure that the battery pack lasts longer, and they also protect your phone’s battery from overcharging and heating.
Try Removing Phone’s Protective Case While Charging
It is recommended that you remove the phone’s protective case while charging. It is natural for the battery to become slightly warm, but the case may act as a barrier and slow down heat dissipation. If possible, flip the phone over and place it on a soft cloth to protect the display.
