As cell phone functions are activated (GPS, bluetooth, data, sync)
the battery level begins to drop
.
And depending on the equipment, the charging time can vary between one and three hours.
In this note, five recommendations that should be taken into account
to make the smartphone battery last longer,
Cycles
Each lithium ion comes with a fixed amount of charge cycles, ie, the number of times that can go from zero to one hundred.
On average, a phone has a lifespan of
between 500 and 700 charge cycles
.
But that doesn't mean it can be plugged in 500 times.
The key is not to let it be completely emptied but to spread it out over several short sections.
If it is maintained between 40% and 80% throughout the day
,
the time that those 500 charges will last will be extended.
Half load
Nothing happens to the battery if the cell phone is at 40% and it is recharged.
In fact, it
is best to always keep the charge at a medium level, between 50 and 70%
, especially in cases where the appliance is turned off in a drawer for a long time.
It is best to always keep the charge at a medium level, between 50 and 70%.
You just have to discharge the phone
until it shuts down when you want to calibrate the battery
.
Completely draining the charge not only suspends communication (data and Wi-Fi) but is also not recommended for the physical components of the battery.
At night
The modality of going to sleep and leaving the equipment plugged in is widespread because it is very practical.
Most of today's phones
have a range of 20 hours and it takes about 3 hours to get from zero to one hundred
.
The question many are asking is whether this may pose a risk.
The truth is that both chargers and mobiles themselves have
an intelligent charging system
that stops charging when it reaches the maximum, precisely so as not to spoil the battery.
Therefore, if one leaves the mobile plugged in overnight to have it 100% first thing in the morning,
it will not pose any risk
.
Charger
With the passage of loads, the cable that comes with the equipment breaks down.
In these cases, it is not necessary to buy the whole set, but many times, it is
enough to replace the cable that, due to internal cuts, is what usually fails.
Never resort to generic chargers that do not have voltage control.

If one has to replace the charger,
never buy a generic or cheap one from a bazaar
.
The indicated thing is to do it in a house specialized in electronics.
Each manufacturer uses a different wattage and amperage to get the best load
.
The unofficial ones may take a long time or not be as effective as the originals.
On the other hand, it is possible to
take advantage of cables from other equipment
that were manufactured by the same mobile brand, since one ensures that they comply with the appropriate security measures.
Not go down to zero
Many wait until the battery bottoms out to reconnect it to the computer or any electrical outlet.
Using the battery until it reaches levels substantially below 5% or less
and then recharging it can affect its performance.
To maximize life, the best solution is to charge it
more frequently before it reaches low levels
and is too depleted.
