Your smartphone is your constant companion, but do you know how to best protect its battery? A lot of common advice is actually myths that won't help you extend the life of your battery. For example, the so-called memory effect is not a problem with modern Li-ion batteries, and charging overnight can actually be harmful. The choice of power supply and the idea that every plug-in counts as a full charging cycle are also widespread misconceptions.
Effective strategies for smartphone battery care
However, there are proven methods to extend the life of your smartphone battery. Keep the charge between 30 and 70 percent to protect the cells. If available, use settings in your smartphone that stop charging at 70 to 80 percent, especially if you charge your phone overnight. Avoid extreme temperatures and keep your device's energy consumption low to reduce the need for frequent charging.
Temperature control and optimal storage
Proper storage of your smartphone is also important. If you do not use it for a long time, store it with a charge level of around 50 percent and ensure an ambient temperature between 10 and 20 degrees. This protects the battery from damage caused by extreme conditions.
Conclusion: Knowledge is power
By following these tips and learning about how Li-ion batteries work, you can significantly extend the life of the battery. It's about using technology consciously and questioning common myths. Your smartphone and your wallet will thank you!
