Now one reason why your one percent battery might last a long time
is that your phone's playing it safe. It has one percent battery left for you to use wi-fi,
bluetooth, stream a movie, all while downloading a system update,
but if you're just scrolling your feed, one percent is going to last a while there's also
a bit of psychology in it. when you see that your phone's about to turn off, it kind of encourages you to plug it in ASAP, By the way modern batteries can't be fully charged or fully drained.
If you live somewhere cold and your iphone keeps turning off whenever it's below zero outside, go to settings battery and check the
battery health. If it's less than 85 %, you might want to think about changing the battery otherwise it'll turn off
every time you leave the house.
Even if you just upgraded your old phone to a brand new one, don't forget to charge your old buddy
regularly, lack of charge may impact battery life as long as you want to keep your old phone,
just in case make sure you charge it at
least a few times a year. Same goes for old game consoles and laptops.
Embrace the dark mode if you want your phone to keep its charge as long as possible. The brighter your background is, the more
energy it eats up. If you have dark mode installed, it'll use less power. If your laptop is a mac and it has a backlit keyboard,
change your settings to save some
battery. Whenever you're not using your keyboard, the backlight should power off if you set it. All you need to do is; go to
keyboard settings and choose how long you want the keyboard to stay on for. It Shouldnt be longer than 5 to 10 seconds.
To boost your android, just turn off your data when you don't need it. If you disable the "always-on" mobile data, you'll have a longer battery
cycle.
other things you can do are reduce brightness, opt for wired headphones instead of bluetooth ones and switch to airplane mode when you
don't need active data.
the last 20 of a battery takes longer to charge than the rest, that's because lithium ion batteries are kind of complex.
When the battery is low, the charger supplies a fixed current to boost the charging speed.
Just keep it in mind, your smartphone has a protection circuit in it to save its battery.
When it shuts down and says you have zero percent battery, there's actually a tiny bit of juice left in there but your device is designed not to use it. If a modern battery somehow magically got to actual zero, you wouldn't be able to charge it again and you'd have to get yourself
a new phone. Now don't drain your battery down to zero then recharge it back to 100 specialists say that the best range is between 20 to
90 percent, if you want your battery to last longer. If you let the battery go down to zero all the time and then juice it back up,
you can damage the inside materials and it can even cause battery corrosion. Now it's not true that all chargers are created equal, the best
thing you can do for your phone is to use its original charger. Yes some generic able cable or adapter may look just as
good as the original one but why risk it. It might actually be a good charger but it may be the wrong voltage and you don't know which
country it came from and several countries have their own voltage, different voltages can potentially damage your gadget
plus generic chargers usually don't include any mechanism to protect your phone from energy surges.
If the phone just won't charge here are a few reasons why: A faulty cable, Low current power source or even a broken USB
port, or the most common problem is a
damaged cable. those things have to endure a lot that's because we constantly wrap them, fold them, twist them, drag them etc.
Try a few different cables to see if that was the problem ,if the cable just won't work try cleaning the cable jack
because sometimes. some random lint is hiding out in there blocking the charge from going through. You can usually just blow on it
but that won't work sometimes if the jack's rusty.
Also speaking of phone charging, it's also important to learn how to do it right. If you don't lock your phone when you're
not using it, it may eat up too much of your battery. Phones usually have a default screen lock set for about two minutes
and that can eat into your battery life. Another tip is to avoid using mobile data especially if the connection is poor
your gadget is going to waste its charge just trying to find a connection. Temperature is important too, don't expose your phone to direct sunlight. overheating can drain your battery, now if there's no obvious reason why your phone's losing its charge so fast,
you should probably pay attention to your cyber security settings. It could be a sign that someone spying
on you through an app or something else you downloaded. Leaving the phone cover on while it's charging
isn't really a big deal but it's not recommended either the cover can trap the heat in making the whole charging process way less effective.
You shouldn't leave your phone under your pillow either for the exact same reason, if you get super unlucky it might even catch on fire
If you just can't fall asleep without your phone set a timer on it and leave it propped up on your bedside table if you want to stop it from overheating, turn on airplane mode and leave your screen's brightness on minimum while charging it.
If for some reason you want to stop using your phone for a while. Charge it to 50 and turn it off, this percentage is said to be the healthiest
for a lithium-ion battery. you can store it for a month like that with the least possible damage to your gadget.
Don't forget to turn it on once every few months and top up the battery.
Charging your phone overnight is something almost everyone's guilty of, now it may seem okay especially if you have a smart
charger that stops charging as soon as your phone gets to 100 but as soon as it drops below that the charger will automatically top it up.
This endless cycle goes on all night until you wake up and unplug it . Just like normal batteries, lithium ion batteries don't like to be either fully
charged or at zero if you charge your phone and use it at the same time you can confuse the battery a little bit.
Here's what happens, your phone gets charged then whatever you're doing sucks out that energy then the charger
tops the battery up again. These small cycles tire out the battery and shorten its lifespan
