Who never went through the anguish of seeing the cell phone battery run out? Despite technological advances, hardly a day goes by without depending on an outlet. But this process is more complex than you might think. In addition to lowering the electricity bill, charging the battery correctly is a way to avoid accidents and extend its useful life. Nowadays, batteries have certain charge cycles, and for them to last longer it is recommended, for example, not to charge them to 100% and not to let them reach 0%.
Today the awesome.club brings some tips on how to charge your cell phone that help prevent accidents and prolong the battery life of your smartphones🇧🇷
1. Always leave the charger plugged in
Leaving the charger plugged in even without the device consumes energy. But the problem is not just the increase in the light bill. In doing so, the transformer releases heat, which could cause a fire. If the environment is too humid, it may cause a short circuit.
Therefore, for your safety, if your cell phone is not charging, remove the charger from the socket and avoid accidents.
2. Charge the battery to 100%
By charging your cell phone battery up to 100% you shorten its useful life. This happens because each battery has a certain number of recharge cycles; if you always charge to 100%, the cycles will run out faster.
It is best to fully recharge the battery once a month and always keep it between 20% and 80% battery on a daily basis.
3. Let the battery run down before recharging
It is also not good to let the battery reach 0%, because, as we said, the newest lithium batteries work based on recharge cycles. Therefore, if you leave the battery to zero, you will reduce the useful time of your device.
4. Leave your cell phone charging overnight
By leaving your cell phone charging all night, you will spend more energy and charge more than necessary; that is, it will spoil the battery recharge cycles.
Another reason to never leave your phone charging overnight is to avoid overheating.
5. Using your cell phone while it’s charging
Using the cell phone during the charging process is forcing the battery to do two things at the same time, which can overload it.
If someone calls you, take your cell phone out of the socket, answer it and only charge it again when you end the call.
6. Recharge your cell phone when the battery is more than 20%
Constantly charging your phone is wrong because it can make the battery last less than it should.
The best thing to do is to charge the battery when it is really necessary, that is, when it is less than 20%, but always with more than 5%.
7. Charge the cell phone with the case
One of the main enemies of the battery is heat. By leaving the cover on when charging, the heat is retained and ends up also heating the internal components of the device.
Before charging your cell phone, remove the case and let your device “breathe”.
8. Use generic and cheap chargers
Each cell phone has a type of charger and it should not be replaced by a generic one. By doing this, the recharge may be higher or lower than recommended, which can lead to overheating of the device or a very slow recharge process.
The best charger for your phone is what comes in the box. If it breaks or you lose it, buy a new one exclusive to your device model.
9. Using unknown battery apps
Free apps can be useful for measuring battery performance, but it’s important to be careful which app you use. When they are not rated by cell phone manufacturers, they can strain the battery.
Before using an app, confirm that it is trustworthy.
10. Charge the cell phone on the computer
People often use their computers to charge their mobile phone, but the process takes longer and it is not possible to activate the fast recharge option.
For safer and faster charging, always use the wall outlet.
