Thanks to fairly significant progress, the batteries in phones have also improved a lot in recent years. Today’s lithium-ion batteries have many positive features, but it’s also important to take proper care of your battery.
How do you achieve the longest possible battery life?
Almost every owner of battery-powered consumer electronics has noticed a certain decrease in battery capacity during long-term use. This isn’t unusual at all, but the rate of capacity degradation—and thus your battery life on a single charge—can be significantly slowed down by adopting the right charging habits.
Proper charging is a key factor in maintaining the best possible battery life. In general, you should act in a way that we don’t expose the battery to any extremes. We’re talking about fully charging or fully discharging, or high and low temperatures.
Experts recommend that we ideally keep the battery capacity within 20-80 %. This clearly means it’s not ideal to “squeeze” the battery all the way to the end, but it’s also not suitable to charge it to full, i.e. to 100 %.
Of course, there are also situations where we need to fill the battery to the top, for example before a long trip or a full-day outing. However, if you can, you should try to keep the capacity within the higher-mentioned range.
Heat also harms your battery
Another important adverse factor affecting battery life is high temperature. From real life, you probably already know that charging with high power and fast charging isn’t good for battery life.
Even though fast charging is very convenient and you get used to it relatively quickly, you should try to limit it. At the same time, we can also mention the increasing effort by manufacturers to optimize smartphone software so that battery health and capacity are as good as possible.
