We often complain that modern devices – Smartphone in the first place – will take less and less. After just two or three years, many phones begin to give problems of autonomy, slow down or force constant uploads. But no, it’s not always the fault of the producers or a conspiracy to make us spend money every year.
The truth is simpler (and annoying): most of the damage causes them, with wrong habits that, day after day, make the battery without realizing it.
Here are the 5 most common mistakes.
Leave the phone in the heat (or cold)
The smartphone battery is very sensitive to temperature changes. Leaving the phone for hours under the sun, in the car in summer or close to heat sources can seriously damage the internal circuits and to shorten the life of the battery.
Excessive cold is also not harmless: too low temperatures slow down the chemical reactions of the battery and temporarily reduce their ability.
The trick is simple: keep the device as much as possible at constant temperature and far from extreme situations.
Recharge the smartphone in the case
Many don’t think about it, but recharging the phone while it is inside the protective cover is a bad habit. During the charge, the device warms naturally; If it is “trapped” in the custody, the heat cannot dissipate and accumulate, stressing the battery.
To avoid overheating, always remove the cover during charging, especially if it is thick or in hard plastic.
Use of poor or non -original charges
“Okay any cable, so much recharges the same.”
Here is one of the most serious mistakes. The non -original chargers, taken on stalls or bought for a few euros online, can have wrong voltage and amperage. This means that the battery is overloaded or underwear, with disastrous effects in the long run.
Better to spend something more for a certified accessory, rather than finding yourself after a few months with an exhausted battery.
Always wait for the battery to be zero (or always keep it 100%)
Forget the “rules” of old phones: modern lithium batteries must never be fully downloaded or 100% loaded to work well.
Download them up to 0% can damage the internal cells, while keeping them constantly 100% subjected to continuous stress.
The ideal charge? Keep it between 20% and 80%. Short top -ups during the day are much healthier than a long night pull.
Leave it in office all night (and maybe you use it in the meantime)
Rechargeing the smartphone at night looks comfortable, but it is one of the most harmful habits. Even if the charge is automatically stopped, the battery remains under tension for hours, overheating.
Worse still is to use heavy apps while it is connected to the current – games, videos or social – because add the heat generated by the processor’s effort to that of charging. A lethal mix for the battery.
Better to recharge in the daytime and unplug the charger once a good percentage is reached.
Extra help from the “Save-Basttery” apps
If you want to keep under control the health status of your smartphone, you can download one of the many “save-bags” apps available for both Android and iPhone.
These apps monitor temperature, charge cycles and energy behavior, helping you identify any problems in time and correct bad habits.
