Well, of course everyone has to charge their phones in order to use it. Go back home, you may just find your siblings, parents having their chargers plugged in and charging their (smart)phones. Go to your friends' house, they may also be at a state that they are charging and using their phone at the same time. Even better - charging the phone via the computer. 

Yes, charging phones is 100% essential you may say, but the problem is, how often must you charge it, so that your phone does not run out of battery that fast?

You tell me: "Oh. I charge it whenever the battery is low." That's true. But what is your definition of "low"? 

________________________________________________________________________

Here's what some people say about their definition of "low battery":

1) "Screw it! 1 bar of my battery is gone. I gotta charge my phone."

2) "99% battery life left... I will charge it to 100%"

*5 minutes of usage after 100% charged* "Oh darn. 95%. Let's charge it again."

3) One person's phone is at 100% battery life. He brings a portable phone charger with him whenever he goes out.

" I shall plug this in so that my phone will always be at 100% battery, never lower."

4)"Oh, it's 50% already? Oh well. *charges*"

While in fact, the definition of "low battery" is:

1) Whenever your phone sends a "help signal" - a warning that would state that there is low amount of battery remaining. 

"Help! I'm left with 10% of life!"

2) You see on the battery bar (on iPhones), the bar is red.

Oh... 1%... Wait, isn't the phone supposed to self shut-down by then?

3) You are unable to start your phone up and (on iPhones) it gives you a signal message that you must plug your phone into a charger to power it up.

Give me my daily energy! I demand it before I start up!
