For smartphones, the most battery-consuming apps are usually wifi and radio. So, when you want to charge quickly, you should turn off these apps by putting your phone in airplane mode.
5 tips for fast phone charging while traveling
Keeping your touch phone from running out of battery is a challenge, especially when traveling, especially when you need to use your phone for directions or music, entertainment... It usually takes a few hours to fully charge your phone, but if you don't have much time, you should refer to the 5 quick charging tips that Traveltech's experts guide as follows:
1. Charging with a socket will be faster than using a cable to connect to a computer
Fast charging does not mean short battery life. The important thing to remember is not to charge by plugging the cord into the laptop, this charging method always takes longer but the battery life is shorter.
2. Use a charger with a higher current intensity
The iPhone 6 charger has a current intensity of 1 amp. If you want to charge faster, you can use a charger that provides more power, such as the 2.1 amp charger of the iPad. This method will not damage your phone because in fact, a high-power charger only provides the amount of electricity that the device needs. The important thing is to choose a good quality charger that will help you save a significant amount of time. On the contrary, if you use a 0.5 amp USB charger for the iPhone 6, you will have to wait all day, even your phone won't charge at all.
3. Use a power bank
Some power banks allow you to charge your phone faster than usual. For example, the Pronto charger, only takes 5-15 minutes to fully charge an iPhone 5. You can also charge from 3 to 9 times like that with a power bank that has been plugged in to charge for 1 hour.
4. Put your phone in airplane mode
The battery is used to run all the apps on the touch phone, of which the most battery-consuming functions are wifi and radio. To charge your phone the fastest, turn off all these apps by switching to airplane mode. In case you still want to receive calls and messages while charging, just turn off mobile data and wifi.
5. Keep the screen brightness low
Another reason for faster battery drain is keeping the screen bright. So, stop the habit of turning on your phone to check the battery percentage while charging. This small action repeated continuously will only make the situation worse and bring no benefit.
