overnight charging
Battery fills sleeping
Overnight charging is the practice of plugging in a device—typically a phone or electric vehicle—before bed and letting it charge until morning.
The term often appears in discussions about battery health, since modern devices stop drawing power when full: Is overnight charging bad for your phone?
For electric vehicles, overnight charging takes advantage of lower off-peak electricity rates.
