I should have had this at #4

To make a long story short: I constantly leave my phone in its dock on my desk when it's not in my pockets when I'm away. Essentially, it spends 99.9% of its time plugged in.
This is now the third time I swap its battery because it ends up being badly swollen.
Some will try to convince me that I shouldn't leave it charging all the time. But, the electronics are supposed to be monitoring and cut off the power when the battery's fully charged.
What's your story? Would you blame this bad experience on the fact that it's left plugged in 24/7?

Mine gets charged when it gets low - below 20% normally - and sits there off charge the rest of the time, and I've never had a swollen battery.
I'd check the dock: is it cutting off charge at the right time, or just trickling too much into the phone?

I didn't know any current phones had replaceable batteries.
I had two Motorola Droids which I would charge all night, both developed battery life issues. So my current phone (Motorola One) I charge only when the charge drops to 20% or while I'm driving.
Oh, something I also consider is to put the charger on a timer and let the phone charge for no more than an hour each night.

Few if any current phones have easily swappable batteries like in days of yore; but if you're careful and have the right tools it's not too difficult to melt the glue, pry the case apart, install a new battery, and then use fresh glue to reseal everything.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's exactly how not to sell me a new phone.

Well you'd better hope fringe companies like Fairphone[^] survive. Just about everyone else has embraced full perimeter gluing for water protection; and even if you manage to avoid breaking your antique eventually LTE will go the way of 2/3g and it'll lose service.

Service? I don't care.
Believe it or not, the phone doesn't even have a SIM card. I use it for "everything but a phone".

My Lumia 640 is nothing but "current". That's a large part of the reason I still have it - I'm not at the mercy of Google or Apple (no thanks), and if something happens to the battery, it can trivially be replaced.

Who knows, I'd say it depends on how "aggressive" the charging circuit is in terms of maximizing energy storage vs lifetime. Li-ion batteries don't really like it when they're charged above 3.92V, but a common limit (for consumer electronics) is 4.2V, which is really significantly more energy. If the charge level of 4.2V is rated at 100% (as would likely be the case), then stopping below 3.92V would cost you about a third of that, leaving it around 65% charged max. Time spent at voltages above 3.92V slowly degrades the cathode (faster for higher voltages).
Leaving the battery plugged in, leaves the voltages above 3.92V for more time, maybe even all the time.
"Overcharging" in the sense of charging above 100% should be impossible thanks to the battery charging circuit, but long-term degradation happens significantly below 100%.

I am convinced nay is the answer. I've got a Note 8 that still has decent battery life, and goes a full day for me between charges. Got my dad an S9 and he leaves it on the charger all night and complains about battery life.
