\"Eight<\/a>Our lives center on smartphones<\/strong> today. But, even the newest device is useless if its battery dies<\/strong> often. The majority of modern smartphone devices use Lithium-ion<\/strong><\/a> (LI-ion) batteries to keep them running. Lithium-ion batteries are the high-end of the rechargeable battery<\/strong> industry. They are smaller in size, require low maintenance and are environmentally safer than older batteries. Here are some tips to extend your battery life<\/strong>. Follow these expert tips from<\/a> Credo<\/a> to keep your phone charged all day<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

What is a Lithium-ion battery<\/h3>\r\n

\"WhatLithium-on batteries<\/strong> in mobile phones consist of an anode (typically made of graphite), a cathode (often composed of lithium cobalt oxide), a separator, an electrolyte, and two current collectors (positive and negative). They operate by transferring lithium ions<\/strong> from the anode to the cathode during discharge. This transfer creates free electrons in the anode which generate a charge at the positive current. This electrical current then powers the device.<\/p>\r\n

When the battery is charged, the process is reversed, with the lithium ions moving from the cathode back to the anode. This allows the cycle to start again when the device is used.<\/p>\r\n

How save your mobile phone battery<\/h3>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\"Don't<\/a>Charge Smart, Charge Often – <\/strong>Don’t wait for your battery to die. Today’s batteries like frequent top-ups. So, charge your phone often. Aim to keep it above 50%<\/a> for best results.<\/p>\r\n

Unplug at Full Charge <\/strong>– Once your battery hits 100%, unplug it. Trickle charging cuts its lifespan. Avoid smothering your phone under pillows or books.<\/p>\r\n

Turn Off WiFi and Bluetooth – <\/strong>Switch off these features when not in use. This saves power. If you\u2019re out and about running errands all day, the phone is going to attach any AP it can find. This increases the power drain. So, switching WiFi off will extend your charge and the overall life of your battery.<\/p>\r\n

Identify the Culprits – <\/strong>Check which apps use the most power. You can delete them or adjust settings to save power. Credo reports that the four most power-hungry features<\/strong> are: camera, location, microphone and WiFi connection<\/strong>. When all those functions are running in the background, they\u2019re burning up a lot of your charge. Cloud storage provider PCloud<\/a> found<\/a> the top 10 battery hogs to be:<\/p>\r\n
