How not to kill your gadget: Top tips for charging mobile phones properly
Smartphones are becoming an integral part of almost everyone's life. Many programs are tied to mobile phones that help us every day.
Therefore, maintaining battery performance and charging speed are of particular importance. Experts say that one of the main requirements is to use an original charger, CTN News reports. SSPDaily learned more about it.
It is known that different chargers differ from one manufacturer to another, so it is important to use the one that comes with the factory. This will help keep your smartphone in working order for a long time. Another caveat is that universal chargers can be too slow and take a long time to charge your gadget.
It is also important to keep an eye on the battery level of your phone. Experts advise that when charging your phone for the first time, wait until the battery is fully charged - 100%. This will have a positive effect on the further operation of your phone. It is also recommended not to discharge the phone to 0, but to keep the battery charge balance between 21% and 79%.
It is noted that the battery can be negatively affected by excessive charging - for example, when the phone is left at the outlet for the whole night. Over time, this can lead to battery damage. Also, overcharging your phone can affect your electricity bill.
Experts also advise avoiding overheating your phone. One of the reasons may be that apps are running in the background. High temperatures or direct sunlight can also have a negative impact. Manufacturers recommend using phones at ambient temperatures between 16 and 22 degrees Celsius. If you notice that your smartphone has overheated for some reason, remove the back cover and let it cool down in a cool place. It is also advised to avoid too much ambient humidity when using the phone.
Among the main tips for preserving battery efficiency is not to use your smartphone without a charger while it is charging. This overheats the power supply. Excessive load can affect the long-term performance of your phone. Therefore, manufacturers advise leaving your smartphone on charge and not even connecting to the network. After all, this can ultimately affect its efficiency and lead to an increase in battery charging time.
