What's best for the battery: recharge each day or only every second day

[AndersLynge]

Hi. 

I can go two days on the battery of the Xperia Z1 Compact. How do I make sure the battery lasts the longest: By charging every day at about 50 percent battery, or by charging every second day at less than 10 percent battery, thus reducing the number of charge cycles the battery gets?

Li-Ion batteries are made that you charge them often,not always when the battery is low.By discharging them completely often,you may encounter problems and they will not be able to charge completely again.

I bought new xperia z1and have overcharged it for about 2:30 to 3 hours and now its battery doesn't work for a long time. I have to charge it many times a day. Please help me... Please!

These batteries cannot be overcharged as they do not charge after reaching 100% full charged state.I suggest you try a forced restart(power button+vol up until the phone vibrates) and see how is the phone after.

Please tell me what should I do now. Can its battery be replaced? If yes how much it will cost? Please give some solutions. You can send me helpful email removed by alexdon - no private info on the forum. Please help....

Of course,just take it back into service:
