Modern electronic devices are equipped with lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or lithium polymer (Li-Po) batteries, which have much more advanced characteristics than older nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.

Thus, many things that were true in the past have now been overturned! Although several years have passed since the mass transition to lithium batteries, there are still many misconceptions that are incorrect.

Myth 1 

"The first charge of my new phone should last at least 8-12 hours."

This is not true for modern smartphones. You can use the device immediately after taking it out of the box!

Myth 2 

"The battery must be fully discharged before recharging."

With modern batteries, it is preferable to start charging your smartphone before it is completely discharged.

Myth 3

"Charging throughout the night can cause my device to overheat."

Don't worry! Modern batteries have a protection system and stop drawing energy when they are full. If you charge your phone regularly for long periods of time, you may slightly burden the life of its battery. However, to have peace of mind, choose a smart plug.

Tips for longer battery life.

Tip 1 

Don't let your mobile battery reach 0% every time.

Experts recommend charging your smartphone between 40% and 80% for longer battery life. That is, charge it when the battery is about 40% and remove it from charging when the battery reaches about 80%. 

Tip 2

If you don't feel comfortable with the temperature, neither does your phone! 

Both high and low temperatures are harmful to the battery. Therefore, we would recommend not leaving your phone exposed to the sun, especially during the summer months, or under the air conditioning. 

Tip 3  

Use reliable-certified chargers.

A bad charger can cause problems with the battery life.

How to make your phone battery last longer?

The secret is in saving energy!

Try using dark mode or simply lower the brightness of your screen for lower energy consumption.

Reduce the screen lock time. You can adjust this time interval from your phone settings and the shorter it is, the less energy your battery will consume.

Use the optimized charging and energy-saving settings (power-saving mode) of your device. Many manufacturers offer such features that you can take advantage of.

By following the above tips, you can definitely increase the battery life cycle of your device and its endurance throughout the day. 

However, if your daily routine keeps you outside all day and your phone needs charging in the middle of the day, we recommend investing in a good Power bank, so that you have battery whenever you need it!
