While waiting for battery life improvements from manufacturers, we can optimize the battery ourselves with the following tips:
1. Avoid overnight charging
After a day of use, most newer smartphones run out of battery, and it's natural for users to charge their devices. However, it takes about 2-4 hours to fully charge the battery, and few people have enough patience to wait and often charge overnight. This practice, if prolonged, can lead to battery degradation, swelling, and even affect the device's power source.
2. Charge the battery using the accompanying charger, not through the USB port of a computer
Many of us have the habit of charging our smartphones through the USB port of a computer, especially office workers. However, in most mobile devices, the charger that comes with the device always has a much better charging efficiency than connecting to a computer via USB. Therefore, users are advised to use the charger to reduce charging time and avoid early battery 'aging.'
3. Avoid letting the battery completely drain before charging
We tend to think that charging the phone before the battery is completely drained causes battery degradation. However, this only happened with Ni-MH battery technology in the past. Nowadays, most smartphones are equipped with Lithium Li-ion batteries. With this type of battery, you can charge whenever without rapidly aging the battery. On the contrary, letting the battery drain completely before charging will quickly reduce its lifespan.
Many ultrathin smartphones today have limited battery capacity, which leads users to frequently let the battery drain before charging. This further accelerates battery degradation and damage. When the battery level reaches about 20%, you should limit its use and charge it fully.
4. Charge and discharge the battery properly
The initial charge for any device is crucial as it helps the device store initial information about the battery. Therefore, you should charge for at least 12 hours for the first time, then unplug and use until the battery is drained before starting the second charge.
On average, the fewer times you charge the battery, the longer it will last. This means you should let the battery drain to about half or less before charging, then the battery will last longer. Although you can charge the battery whenever you want, it's best not to plug in the charger continuously every day.
Additionally, at least once a month, you should let the battery drain completely and then charge it fully (discharge the battery). This will help keep the battery in the best condition to protect its chemical components.
