-Maximizing Your Phones Battery Lifespan- 

            In today's fast-paced world, smartphones have become a lifeline for many people. Whether it's for work or personal use, we rely on our phones to stay connected with the world around us. However, one of the biggest challenges with smartphones is battery life. A dead battery can leave you stranded, unable to make calls or use apps. In this blog post, we'll explore some tips for maximizing your phone battery life.

  • Keep the battery above 30%

    Charging a lithium-ion battery to 100% capacity and keeping it at that level for prolonged periods can cause stress to the battery and accelerate its aging. (We will go into more details about this later) On the other hand, keeping the battery at a low charge level for an extended period can also damage the battery and reduce its capacity.

 The optimal level of charge for a lithium-ion battery is around 80% for daily use, and it is essential to avoid letting the battery charge drop below 30% or remain at 100% charge for prolonged periods.

  • Remove phone from charger once it's fully charged

    Many people make the mistake of leaving their phones plugged in for long periods of time, even after the battery is fully charged. This can cause overcharging, which  leads to reduced the battery life. To avoid overcharging, remove your phone from the charger once it's fully charged.

  • Replace the battery once it reaches 80% capacity

    Most smartphone batteries have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles. A charge cycle is when the battery goes from 0% to 100%.  smartphone manufacturers recommend replacing your battery once it reaches 80% capacity. This is because the battery's performance may begin to degrade after this point, leading to reduced battery life. If you're experiencing decreased battery life or other issues, it may be time to consider replacing your battery. 

  • Avoid using the phone while it's charging

    Using your phone while it's charging can generate heat, which can reduce battery life. If you need to use your phone while it's charging, try to keep it in a cool place, such as in front of a fan or air conditioner.  

    Think of your phone as a marathon runner. Just as a marathon runner needs to focus on their breathing, pace, and endurance to perform well, your phone needs to focus on its processing power and battery life to perform at its best. Now imagine that the marathon runner is trying to eat a full course meal while running the marathon. The runner's attention will be divided, and they won't be able to focus fully on running the race or digesting their food properly. Similarly, if your phone is trying to run multiple apps and perform complex tasks like charging, it won't be able to perform at its best. The phone's processing power and battery life may suffer, just like the marathon runner's performance would suffer if they tried to eat a full meal while running the race.

  • Use wireless and portable chargers sparingly

    Wireless and portable chargers can be convenient, but they can also be less efficient than a standard wall charger. Using wireless or portable chargers too often can also cause your battery to degrade faster. It's best to use these types of chargers sparingly and stick to a standard wall charger whenever possible. Wireless and portable chargers create heat causing the battery to expand and degrade at a faster pace. 

Conclusion 

    Following these tips, you can maximize your phone battery life and avoid the frustration of a dead battery. Remember to keep your battery above 30%, remove your phone from the charger once it's fully charged, replace your battery once it reaches 80% capacity, avoid using your phone while it's charging, and use wireless and portable chargers sparingly. With a little bit of care and attention, you can extend the lifespan of your smartphone battery and enjoy uninterrupted connectivity.
