Battery life is a never-ending problem of Smartphone users. Our current generations devices have gone through major changes and advancement in all aspect in recent years, And batteries last less than a day due to heavy usage and due to other factors like battery life decay.
History: The lithium-ion battery has been around for more than two decades and hasn't fundamentally changed since started producing in 1991. And even after of lots of development gone over the years and as replacements, The same battery seems to more likely with us for more years.
Here's what you need to know about your smartphone's battery.
Do I have to Charge my phone full and keep it unplugged for several hours before the first time use? Answer: Well Not needed.
Why is it so? In earlier days battery came with Nickel Cadmium which had a "memory effect" that meant battery wouldn't maintain the same capacity on how its been charges and used. So all the electronics were instructed to charge full and keep it unplugged for several hours before the first use. What so ever with new generation lithium-ion batteries there is so such effects if you run the smartphone or any other electronics items out of the box without being charged.
Will my Battery Life reduce over time and usage? Answer: Yes! It will definitely.
Why is it So? lithium-ion batteries are meant to withstand for a number of cycles Cycles meant to be determined by a full charge to full discharge, but this doesn't all have to be from one charge. The lifetime of batteries measure in cycles differs between different devices, but typically have between 300 and 500 full cycles before they reach 70 percent of their original capacity - equivalent to a couple of years of use, although this graph from Battery University shows that capacity begins to drop fairly quickly
Will my smartphone be damaged if I leave it charging even after the battery if full? Answer: Yes in olden days, No with current generation Smartphones
Why is it so? Yes in olden battery technology used its used to progressively lesser and damages the battery life and also put the device under risk if received more power than it is meant to But thankfully the new battery technology does not draw power more than it is meant to by trickeling it, ( as like a top-up). But we do have to keep in mind that plugged in for charging tends to gain more heat than usual and that would surely decay the battery life and put the device under risk ate extreme hot condition.
Should I wait until the battery juice to run out to charge it again? Answer: Not Needed
Why is it So? Modern lithium-ion batteries gain nothing from being powered down, and long charging cycles are actually worse than short ones. Actually partial discharge and charges do prolong your battery life cycle. Should I disable Wifi, Bluetooth and put my phone in airplane Mode to save battery? Answer: Not Needed
Why is it so? Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not nearly as power hungry as they used to be, or as your phone's cellular radio. Keeping them on is not likely to drain a huge amount of battery, although if you really want to completely maximize efficiency, it helps slightly.
Having your cellular radio look for signal in areas where there isn't any, however, is very draining. You can activate airplane mode if you don't need a mobile signal. And if you can connect to Wi-Fi, do it: Using 4G or 3G drains the battery far quicker than Wi-Fi does.
How else can we save our battery and its life?
- There are several things that can be done to just reduce how much power the phone is using, which will both keep your battery going for longer
- Turning down the screen brightness
- Disabling location and background app refresh for apps that don't need it
- Not closing your apps in multitasking (they are idle - and opening them later actually uses up more battery)
- Disabling push notifications for email, Twitter and Facebook
