Extending the life of the battery is vital when it comes to extending the life of the smartphone. Especially considering the difficulty of replacing lithium-ion batteries in many smartphone models. In many smartphones, accessing the battery is quite a challenge, for example, in the iPhone and many medium and high-end mobiles from brands such as Samsung. In these cases, the replacement of the battery can be costly. Here are tips to guide you:
Neither Cold Nor Hot
To ensure long battery life, you should avoid extreme temperatures. Neither cold nor hot. Neither in winter nor summer is it a good idea to leave your mobile phone in your car. In the summer season, you have to be especially careful. And it is very easy to forget your smartphone in the sun, on a towel, or a terrace table.
Avoid Fast Charging
Some smartphones facilitate fast charging. It is a technology that can be very useful when it is strictly necessary. However, this type of charge puts the battery under stress and contributes to its deterioration. In other words: normal charges are better for battery longevity.
Charge The Mobile To 50% If You Are Going To Keep It For A While
As said the optimal level of charge is 50% according to Movical. This percentage is a reference, a guide. Well, that healthy percentage of charge is ideal if you are going to keep your mobile for an extended period. Therefore, you should charge it up to 50% before disconnecting and saving it. Do not even think about turning it off when 0% or 100% before parking the device for a long time. If you, do it like this, the battery will suffer.
Spend Less Battery To Extend Its Useful Life
So far, we have explained actions and routines that can help you extend the life of your battery. From now on, we will list tips with which to improve battery utilization.
With this energy optimization, you reduce the number of charge cycles (the total discharge and charge of the battery) and contribute to longer battery life. And, as we explained above, the more charge cycles, the more the battery deteriorates.
So, all those behaviors aimed at consuming the minimum battery necessary are positive for the longevity of the mobile. The key term is optimizing battery usage and consumption.
Watch Videos And Play In Moderation
Along with applications (which we will deal with elsewhere in this article), videos and video games are the two content that consumes the most energy. These are contents that require having the screen in operation for long periods.
Reduce Screen Brightness
The mobile screen is the component that usually consumes the most battery. So, if you lower the brightness of the screen, you will save energy. The use of auto-brightness is a good option, although it is also true that this function will make the light sensor work more.
Although difficult to carry out, the ideal is to change the brightness of the screen each time the lighting conditions in which you find yourself change.
