Want to save your smartphone battery? Don’t make these mistakes while charging
Battery is the most important part of any smartphone. In order to keep the phone healthy and to run it at its full capacity, it is essential that its battery is healthy.
As a smartphone user, you have different charging habits. Many people think that how the smartphone is charged has no effect on the phone and especially on its battery. But in fact, the incorrect way of charging the phone has a negative impact on the durability and capacity of the battery.
Proper care of the battery is necessary to ensure that the phone does not have any problems and works well for a longer period of time.
Some of our habits are such that they have a negative impact on the battery of the phone. By changing these habits, the charging speed of the phone can be increased, the battery life can be increased and the phone can be protected from the possible risk of damage. Here are three habits you should avoid to protect your phone battery from damage:
The habit of charging the phone by keeping it open : Most of the smartphone users have the habit of charging the phone without opening the phone. But it is not good to do this. This can cause two problems in particular, first, the battery can overheat and second, the connector can break. Connecting the phone to the charger by placing it in a poorly designed case may damage the charging connector. By doing this, the size of the mouth of the charger may deteriorate and the charger may not fit properly. Similarly, charging the phone by placing it in the shell can cause the phone to heat up. This will reduce the charging speed of the phone and there is a risk of shortening the battery life. So, to avoid such problems, take the phone out of its case while charging.
Using a fast charger every day : Even if your phone has a fast charger i.e. a 40 watt charger, do not use it daily to charge the phone. This will reduce the capacity of your phone’s battery within a year. So you can charge your phone with a slow charger whenever you have time. Use the fast charger only when you need to charge the phone in a short time. This may seem absurd at first glance, but using a fast charger every day puts pressure on the battery and risks a rapid decrease in capacity.
Draining the battery below 5 percent: Another habit that proves to be harmful for smartphone batteries is draining the battery below 5 percent. This is the most harmful habit that damages the phone’s battery. When the battery charge in the phone falls below 10/15 percent, it starts putting excessive pressure on the battery. If you neglect your phone’s battery like this every day and don’t charge it on time, it will make the phone drain faster. Therefore, the battery of the phone should not drop below 15 percent and the phone should be charged.
