Extending The Life Of Your Battery

by Rick Scefield

Wish your cell phone battery lasted longer and wouldn’t die so fast? Well the good thing is that there are some guidelines and tips you can follow to help your battery last longer.

The first thing to understand is to know what type of cell phone battery you have. Most cell phones come equipped with a Lithium Ion Battery which is the newest and most effective battery on the market today. These batteries don’t have memory like the nickel cadmium batteries do. What that means is that when you charge a lithium ion battery it does not remember how full it was when you charged it last. This ensures that your battery charges fully.

One sure way to decrease your battery life is by charging it everynight. The longer you wait to charge your battery the longer it will last. Most batteries have a 300 charge cycle lifetime which normally means that your battery will last about 2-3 years.

Vibrate is a nice feature as it keeps your phone quiet, but it uses all of your batteries energy. The best thing to do is to just shut the phone off and not use the vibrate feature or just turn it completely silent.

Depending on where you live or travel to, the coverage area will change. Depending on the coverage area it will determine how much cell phone battery power is used. Analog areas use more energy than digital areas. If you are going out of town or driving a long distance make sure to just shut off the phone and then turn it on when you need to use it.

Charging frequency will also affect your battery. A cell phone has a life cycle of about 300 charges. Use these wisely. If you charge your phone everyday your battery will die very fast and you will have to replace it very soon.

We hope that these tips will help your battery to last longer.
