Best Answer

All rechargeable batteries such as cell phones, cordless phones, laptop computers, etc., need to be allowed to fully discharge and then recharge to full power to prevent them from acquiring a "memory". If they are always kept at full charge, then it will actually shorten the battery life, making the time between re-charging shorter.

Does the cell phone battery on if you turn phone off?

Even when a phone is off - it still uses a minute amount of power from the battery. It constantly checks the circuitry to see if the power button has been pressed. Even a fully-charged battery will eventually run down in a phone that's switched off.

Does charging your phone in the car affect the battery?

If you're asking about the car battery, the practical answer is "No."; the drain on the car battery would be negligible. The current used would be significantly less than 1 of your interior dome lights while the phone is charging, and once the phone is fully charged it (and the charger) would consume even less. If you're asking about the phone's battery, the only effect would be a charged battery. The process does not promote an unhealthy state for either battery in any practical or realistic scenario.
