Do you know how to keep your smartphone battery healthy?
Maybe you don't know. In fact, you may be charging your phone the wrong way, and your charging habits may be accelerating the rate of battery death.
Charge the battery to 100% at a time? Charge one night? Or wait until the battery runs out before recharging? These behaviors are common, but they invariably shorten battery life, according to Cadex, a company that tests smartphones and batteries.
The issue of how best to extend a phone's battery life has become a hot topic recently, thanks to apple's "speed gate" incident. Apple claims it slowed down older iphones to prevent sudden shutdowns. Tim cook, apple's chief executive, has apologised.
Cadex provides a lot of information about batteries on the battery university website. It also discusses the lithium batteries most commonly used in smartphones. It turns out that if you want to delay replacing your battery or buying a new phone, you're better off keeping your phone's battery at a certain percentage.
Here are some things to watch out for when charging your smartphone battery:
The best way to charge your phone is to do it every chance you get, a little at a time. Even if it's just a few minutes, according to the battery university website, sporadic charging won't hurt the battery.
Don't wait for the battery to fully drain before charging your phone. According to battery university, so-called "deep discharges" -- recharging a battery when it has almost run out of power -- can be extremely costly to the battery. Samsung offered the same advice in a blog post on how to extend the life of a phone's battery.
3. Try to keep the battery charge ratio between 65% and 75%. According to the battery university website, a smartphone with a lithium battery that holds 65 to 75 percent of its charge will have the longest battery life. While keeping the battery within that range is obviously unrealistic, at least you know what the optimal state is.
4. If you can't get to number three, try to keep the battery to a 45 to 75 percent charge ratio. The sub-optimal range for a smartphone battery is 45 to 75 percent. For most people, this is more realistic in everyday life. In fact, you can make it a daily habit to charge your phone at specific times to keep your battery within that range.
5. Never charge a battery, especially if it is charged at a low rate. Charging your phone's battery from 25% to 100% reduces battery capacity and shortens battery life. In fact, going from any level to 100% is not a good idea. According to battery university, lithium-ion batteries "don't need to be fully charged. There's no need to do that." Therefore, it's best not to charge your phone's battery full, as high pressure can strain the battery and wear it out over time.
These are just a few tips on charging your phone. The phone charging cabinet developed by sopower allows you to charge your phone for a period of time at any time and fuel your phone quickly and safely.
