Help My tablet is losing a lot of battery life overnight and it's taking longer to charge

sross

Lurker
A few weeks ago I was having minor issues losing a couple percent of battery but I uninstalled clean master and optimizing my tablet and used this app gsam batterry monitor and it was doing ok for a while.

Yesterday morning when it was charging overnight, it only charged to 99% and the evening I was charging it again it took over four and a half hours to get to 95% two hours longer than usual.

This morning I didn't charge it overnight but it went from 88% to 71% overnight. I lost all that battery life while sleeping.

Last night I was on it a little and installed this app called ccleaner cause my memory kept saying it was too low a lot and wanted to clean some extra space and I don't know if that killed my battery life overnight. In have it charging now while posting this idk if that's ok or if I'm overcharging it.

How do stop my tablet from not losing so much overnight and how to I get it to charge faster? I'm using an HP tablet btw.

If you're using a charger with the same output current (amps/milliamps) as the stock charger then there's no way to charge faster. That's dictated by the phones kernel.
It's impossible to overcharge your phone, it automatically cuts out when it's full and starts again when I it drops by a certain level and (imo) It's fine to use it while it charges. I did it for almost 3years on my last phone and the battery is good as new.
Does ccleaner show high use in Gsam?
If the fast discharge began when you installed that I'd say that's your culprit

Well the c cleaner says the memory is too low, bcoz some apps are running in background, try disabling the user apps or delete it, continuous usage of background process can slow charging and drain the battery faster, so I recommend to install battery doctor which helps me a lot when I use more no. Of apps,... Hope this will help you..try and reply me..

No. Don't use this. Killing apps that are cached in ram saves no battery life
