Mobile
phones come with lithium batteries which require some maintenance as long as
they are used. Once you know how, you can optimize your phone's battery life
fairly easily.
1.Turn the phone
off. Only
do this if it's going to be for several hours; turning a phone on/off actually
uses a massive amount of power itself. This will probably be the most effective
and simple way of conserving your battery’s power. Why? This will help conserve
energy and also charge your phone. If you don't plan on answering the phone
while you're sleeping or after business hours, just turn it off.
2.Stop searching
for a signal. When you are in an area with poor or no signal,
your phone will constantly look for a better connection, and will use up all
your power doing so. This is easily understood if you have ever forgotten to
turn off your phone on a flight. The best way to ensure longer battery life is
to make sure you have a great signal where you use your phone. If you don't
have a perfect signal, get a cell phone repeater which will amplify the signal
to provide near perfect reception anywhere or simply turn on flight mode.
3.Do not follow
the method of full charge and full discharge. Avoid letting
your cell phone's battery run all the way down. Lithium-based batteries are
designed to be charged early and often, and letting them get too low can damage
the battery. With lithium-based batteries, doing shallow discharges and
frequent charging prolongs battery life.
4. Switch the
vibrate function off on your phone. Use just the
ring tone. The vibrate function uses additional battery power. Keep the ring
tone volume as low as possible.
5.Turn off your
phone's back light. The back light is what makes the phone
easier to read in bright light or outside. However, the light also uses battery
power. If you can get by without it, your battery will last longer. If you have
to use the back light, many phones will let you set the amount of time to leave
the back light on. Shorten that amount of time. Usually, one or two seconds
will be sufficient. Some phones have an ambient light sensor, which can turn
off the back light in bright conditions and enable it in darker ones.
6.Avoid using
unnecessary features. If you know it will be a while before
your phone’s next charge, don’t use the camera or connect to the Internet.
Flash photography can drain your battery especially quickly.
7.Keep calls
short. This
is obvious, but how many times have you heard someone on their mobile phone
say, "I think my battery’s dying," and then continue their
conversation for several minutes? Sometimes, the dying battery is just an
excuse to get off the phone, but if you really need to conserve the battery,
limit your talk time.
8.Turn off
Bluetooth. It will drain your battery very quickly. Only turn
Bluetooth on when needed.
9.Same goes for
WIFI, GPS, and infrared capabilities, if your phone has these features built
in. Keep
them off except when you need them.
