Samsung says its lithium-ion batteries perform best when charged above 50%, but the corporate advises against draining the battery.
“If the battery is repeatedly fully discharged, this can shorten its lifespan and reduce its overall capacity,” said the Company says in a web-based guide. “If this happens, you will need to charge the battery more often and it may, for example, only last a few hours before it needs to be recharged again.”
Avoid extreme temperatures
Apple says batteries heat up when charging, which may shorten their lifespan. It warns against using or charging the phone in very popular temperatures above 95 degrees (35 degrees Celsius), “as doing so may permanently shorten battery life.”
Samsung also says extreme heat or cold can damage batteries, warning people not to depart their phones within the glove compartment of a automobile, for instance, when it’s very popular or cold. And don’t put your phone in a freezer either, it is a myth that this could extend battery life. “This is not true and can damage your battery,” Samsung says.
Google, manufacturer of the Android operating system and Pixel phones, says Hot batteries discharge faster, even when not in use, and may due to this fact change into damaged.
Adjust your power options
Optimize your device settings in order that apps or features use less power, extending the lifetime of your battery and the time between charges.
You can lower your phone’s screen brightness, enable dark theme, and reduce the time it takes for the screen to show off. Enable the auto-brightness feature, which adjusts the screen brightness based on the ambient light. Also, check the battery usage in your settings to see if there are any power-hungry apps you’ll be able to turn off or uninstall.
When the battery level drops below 10%, iPhone users can activate Low Power Mode to increase the battery’s life before it must be recharged. Samsung’s Android phones have an analogous “Low Power Mode.” You may also leave it on permanently, but this may occasionally affect your phone’s performance.
