[caste1200]

Hello, I have a small question regarding the battery
charge.
How bad for the xperia z1 is to leave it charging during the night with the charger that comes with the phone? Does it really kill the battery? If it does how quickly it does.it?
Anymore advices to keep a good battery life?

Thankyou very.much!

what about the charger itself?

the Z1 comes with a 1000mAh charger. most charger on the market are 850mAh so i guess it is safe to use those expecting longer charging time?

my main concern is about 2A chargers. they will provide faster charge but are they safe to use?

My Z1 has 1500 mAh charger,it is safe to use higher amperage but be careful not to use higher voltage.

you are right, my mistake. z1 comes with 5V 1.5A charger

my intention is to use external battery pack which is 5V 2A.

I do not think that would damage the battery at all.
