Here is a list of essential tips that can make the life of your smartphone, laptop, and tablet longer than estimated.
1. Charge your phone before it hits 0% charging. The batteries used in modern phones is lithium-ion and lithium-polymer and do not have the memory effect.
2. The tip for increasing the battery life of your gadget is to charge it more often. Manufacturers usually count the battery life with the estimated full discharge recycles around 400-600 cycles. Therefore, if you recharge the battery as soon it drops to 10-20% then it will increase its battery cycles up to 1,000.
3. There is no risk of the battery being overcharged, even if it is left plugged in after a full charge. An inbuilt control system stops the current once charging is complete. This does not mean that the phone should remain on charging forever. Keep your battery between 40% and 80% and enjoy longer battery life.
4. Don’t buy cheap batteries because they are unsafe and can be suspected of not having an inbuilt controller. You should also not use USB cables and non-native chargers.
