Increase the Life span of Your Battery

These steps helps increase the life span of your battery .

1. Pay attention to your Network
Bars To stay connected onto a network, mobile phones establish and maintain a continuous communication line with the nearest telecommunication mast.
Whenever they are near a mast, mobile phones use less power to establish this communication thus the battery is never strained.

However, when moved
further away from masts, mobile
phones usually struggle to establish
communication with the tower, thus
straining the battery and sometimes resulting in their heating especially when the phone is kept inside trouser pockets.

The point of advice here is that
whenever you are far away from
telecommunication masts and your
signal strength becomes weak e.g. in remote areas or underground
buildings, it is wise to switch off the
phone to preserve power.

2. Keep Screen Brightness to a
minimum if not adjusted, the screen is likely to hog more power than any other department in your smartphone.

As app developers win their quests to keep us glued to our screens by
cleverly creating fascinating apps, we as users continue torturing our
batteries without knowing. Don’t be
frightened though, you won’t be
summoned in front of a judge for this. Just remember to always set your
brightness to minimal levels to enjoy more runtime hours from a single charge.

Low screen brightness also minimizes overheating of the battery caused by rapid drainage of power to light up the screen.

3. Observe strict charging cycles
Today, many users forget to charge
their mobile phones properly. It is
inappropriate to ‘Whatsapp’ or tweet endlessly with your phone glued on the wall charger and claim you are charging it.

Plugging in the charger with a half full or even 1% full battery is imprudent. The recommended time to charge a
battery is when it cannot power up the phone; plug it in and give it all the time it needs to fill up before using the phone. This routine has been proven to increase battery efficiency as well as lifespan.

4. Keep your phone in a cool dry
place Trouser pockets, jam-packed handbags and sweaty palms are the last places every phone dreads to be.

Heat, pressure and being flung around are as nauseating to mobile phones as is to humankind. Body heat and pressure from trouser pockets causes the battery to warm up therefore lowering its efficiency.
