With the advent of lithium-ion batteries that say hello to the memory effect, the one that "forced" us to stop charging the phone before using it, or to download it completely before connecting it to the charger. We go from worrying about this to paying attention to you Charging cycles and lifespan of Li-ion batteries, its temperature, loading speed and many factors affecting its aging.
We'll give you some tips Charge your portable battery and extend its life. It's a little bit Tips which, if followed daily, can make your battery always have plenty of cycles, reducing its damage as much as possible.
Keep the battery between 20 and 80% charging
Keeping the load between 20 and 80% is not only a recommendation, it is a trend that even companies like Tesla follow extends battery life. Similarly, both Apple and OnePlus, among others, charge up to 80% on average and reach 100% slightly, over an hour, to reduce battery compression. This approach is based on the fact that between 0 and 20%, and between 80 and 100%, batteries suffer the most, cutting off their useful life. Therefore, the recommendation is to keep the battery between 20 and 80%, the appropriate range for lithium ion.
If we're not rooting, we can use apps that let us know when the battery reaches a certain charging level. If we're root, we can limit it, directly
How can we get a battery to stay at this distance? If we're not using root users, one of the best options is to use apps like BatteryGuru. This app allows us to set battery ranges, sending notifications when the terminal leaves this. That way you won't know that, because if you go down from 20% or up from 80% you will be notified
and you can download or download the phone at your own risk.
If we are root users, we can limit the load directly. Battery Charge Limit is one of them. With this app we change the amount at which the phone stops charging and thus we can determine that, at 80 percent, the phone reception is limited.
Although it is recommended to keep the battery on this list, don't doubt about these figures. If one day we run out of battery, or if we decide Charge the phone up to 100% overnight (something we will talk about later), nothing happens. Keeping the battery easily at this distance extends its life.
Control the battery temperature
Higher temperatures mean vandalism of mobile electronic devices, and the battery does not finish. For this reason, manufacturers such as OnePlus have been working on downloading programs like Dash Charge since 2016, which are very focused create heat inside the charger, to prevent the cell battery from burning. Another bizarre case is that the OPPO Get X, with its 3,400mAh battery is built with two 1,700mAh batteries, which allows the load to be distributed and does not raise the temperature significantly.
Checking the battery temperature, especially in the summer, can help prevent it from suffering more than an account
Battery temperature monitoring are tools, such as the GSam Battery Monitor. With this app we can check how much the device temperatures too set alarms when the temperature exceeds certain degrees.
When charging a device, it is recommended place it on a cool surface, where you can reduce your battery temperature if the front burns. The server, without further ado, allows the phone to set down during the hot months.
Do not use the cell phone while it is charging
Charging a cell phone while using it may be normal, but it is the cause of additional battery degradation. On the one hand, we emphasize the battery by using it while receiving a charge, on the other hand, it will increase its temperature when we use it we are connected recently. Although, again, we specify that nothing is possible to do this from time to time, the recommendation is to leave the mobile charging unused, so that the charging process is done with the mobile at rest.
Use a real charger whenever you can
Currently, there are few levels of loading. Qualcomm has a faster Charge, OnePlus works with its Dash Charge, OPPO with Super VOOC, Xiaomi Super Charge Turbo, etc. This means that each type (and each table) has a charger with some volume and power, which should not match that of a standard charger.
There are many manufacturers working in charge-related charging technology, optimized for their cell phones. Using another charger keeps us from using these benefits
In addition, as we point out in the case of Dash Charge, manufacturers often expand chargers to work better with their phones, so it's more than recommended always use the charger that comes with the phone case
Charge your mobile phone from time to time
In the traditional way, we left you with a cellphone charging for the night. Seeing that the best thing is to keep the battery between 20 and 80%, it makes sense Charge the phone from time to time, causing the battery to charge between these numbers. For example, nothing happens when you have an 80% battery in the morning, go down to 50% in the afternoon, and recharge it to 80% to power it up into the night.
The cycles are terminated only when the 100% battery is charged. When we charge a low percentage, it doesn't count as a cycle, it's just part of it
Battery cycles terminate when 100% of the battery is charged, so charging from 50% to 80% does not involve the charging cycle, but the sequential part (in this case, 30%, the remaining 70% is up to the cycle). If you're working in an office or at home, it's not a bad idea to have a charger available to carry small loads during the day.
Calculate the cell phone battery from time to time
In some cases, our cell phone may be do not indicate the actual percentage of battery you have. If you have turned off your phone 15% or in similar situations, it is very likely because of this. The battery level displayed by Android is calculated based on the specific performance of the system and, although not 100% accurate, it should be as reasonable as possible. You can follow our tutorial to measure the battery to perform this procedure when you suspect something is wrong.
