#1 Charge Your Smartphone with Original Charger
It will be best if you charge your phone with its own charger. Very often due to our busy schedule, we forgot to carry the original charger and replace it with a duplicate one. This is what affects battery performance. If you are using a replacement charger then, check its output voltage (V) and current (Ampere).
#2 Remove protective case while charging
You might have noticed, while our phone is on the charge, it becomes slightly warm. So, make sure to remove the phone’s protective case while charging. This can act as a barrier and slow down heat dissipation. If possible, try to flip the phone over while charging
#3 Never Leave Your Phone To charge overnight
There are many people, including me who left the phone plugged in overnight for charging. We just need to cut this practice. Charging overnight affects battery longevity, and it also makes your smartphone overheat. Therefore, make sure to unplug your charge when you feel it is sufficiently charged.
#4 Avoid third party battery apps
You might have already installed a battery or power management app on your smartphone. There are many applications available in Google Play Store that claims to increase the battery life of Android. However, these apps will not do any good to your battery because it increases the load on the smartphone and forces the device to use more battery power.
#5 Always Charge Up To 80%
We must admit that 80% charge is enough for a day, and it’s ideal for overall battery lifespan. Crossing the 80% mark can make your battery to overheat, thereby affecting battery’s life. So, it’s not necessary that your smartphone should always be topped up to a maximum.
#6 Avoid Constant recharge
We always tend to charge our smartphone when it reaches the 50% battery mark. However, that’s not the best thing to do. Users must allow the battery to discharge to around 20% before they plug it in. Studies have claimed that unnecessary and frequent recharges shorten the lifespan of the battery.
