While brands strive to incorporate better specs and technical features into their terminals, which results in better processors, more RAM and a better photographic section, there is one key aspect that, despite improving over time, we believe it does not it was enough: the autonomy of mobile phones.
We all hate that in the middle of our work day we have to look for an outlet because our smartphone's battery is running out. Although accessories like power banks help us last a few more hours, the ideal is that the battery of a mobile phone lasts at least a full day or even longer.
Curiously, mid / low-end Android satisfies this in excess, and it is that for some odd reason companies are supplying batteries of up to 5.000mAh in these types of phones, a much higher figure than their big brothers normally have. Now, don't be alarmed. As a general rule, any current phone achieves the autonomy of one day. The problem is that with the passage of time and especially of use, we are verifying how the battery of our terminal lasts less and less. Is it due to wear? Why do we use it more and more? Why are apps consuming more and more energy?
Hence, users have spent years and years looking for a way in which the batteries in our products would not run out. We went through thousands of tutorials, tried thousands of tips, and even swallowed more than a hoax and lie about the battery, but the result has always been the same. Therefore, is there a way to increase the battery of our mobile? Well, more or less yes.
9 tips to increase the battery life of a mobile
A group of researchers from the University of Michigan has developed a list with the 9 keys to ensure that the battery of our smartphones lasts intact as long as possible. Although we already knew many of these tips, it never hurts to remember them, especially since there are few times that due to improper use of the terminal or simple neglect, we are the main culprits of damaging the health of our battery.
- Avoid high temperatures when we use the device
- Avoid low temperatures when charging the device
- Do not leave the device at 100% charged for a long time
- Do not leave the device with 0% charge for a long time
- Avoid using fast chargers unless necessary
- Avoid apps or services that download your device faster than usual
- Do not leave the device in places with high humidity
- Avoid battery damage
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when calibrating the battery
In summary, the advice could be summarized avoiding places with very high and humid temperatures and above all do not force the battery excessively. Curiously, this group of researchers also recommends not using fast chargers and this isn't the first time we've heard that this type of charger degrades batteries much faster than conventional ones.
Beyond that, let's verify that there is no magic to increase the useful life of a battery but it is true that by following these tips we will degrade it less over time. The battery is one of the most important elements of a mobile phone and must be taken care of, especially now that no manufacturer is betting on devices with removable batteries.
