How to protect your phone battery?
Many mobile phone users are keen to preserve their phone battery by limiting the number of charging hours. There is a lot of misinformation and wrong advice spread through social media about preserving battery life, which some follow in the belief that it preserves battery life and remains more powerful.
In this report, we monitor the most famous tips and misconceptions about saving and preserving battery power. We shed light on common myths about smartphone batteries:
1- Does the phone charge after reaching 100%?
It is not recommended to charge the phone after reaching 100%, as this affects the long-term battery life.
2- Does Airplane Mode make the phone charge faster?
Some people follow this technology, where they charge the phone when setting the airplane mode to ensure that the wireless network is not connected and the phone stops sending and receiving any waves, which will prevent the phone from dealing with the waves of the communication network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth... and others. This, in turn, will reduce power consumption, causing the phone to charge faster to save energy. And this is correct information.
3- Do non-original chargers hurt the phone?
You should beware of non-original chargers that do not control the amount of electrical current sent to the phone, as a non-original charger may provide your phone with more electrical power than it can accommodate.
Your phone doesn't get hurt right away but over time you will notice the phone battery being destroyed and losing its life span.
On the other hand, charging the phone via a PC or laptop will not cause the same harm, as it sends less electrical current, which is good for the battery.
4- Is turning off the phone for some time good for the battery?
It is one of the most prevalent myths about smartphone batteries. It is derived from nickel-metal hydride batteries that were used before lithium-ion batteries. Current phones do not need to turn off the phone permanently.
5- Do cold batteries work better?
Some smartphone users believe that using the battery when it is hot will damage it, but not only that but using the battery when it is cold will damage it too. Therefore, the room temperature is ideal for the battery.
6 - The myth of charging the phone when it reaches 0%
You have to know well that the battery works perfectly when it is 50% full. But if it is empty to 0% or full to 100% is not the best case for it.
Experts advise users to charge the phone when it reaches 10% or 15% and stresses the need to disconnect it from the charger before it reaches 100%.
7- Does replacing the battery benefit the mobile phone?
Over time, charging and heat cycles cause damage to the battery, which weakens the performance of smartphones, so replacing it with a new one improves the general condition of your device and helps extend the life of the battery, but it is necessary to replace it with an original battery.
