3 common senses to make your phone battery more durable

Nowadays, major domestic mobile phone manufacturers are promoting the fast charging function. The slogan "Charging for a few minutes, talking for a few hours" can be seen everywhere.

But you may not know that Apple products have also adopted fast charging technology, charging can quickly reach 80% of the power, and then switch to slower trickle charging.

Today, I will tell you about some battery- related things, whether you are an iOS or an Android user, you can make better use of battery performance.

Most electronic products now use lithium batteries. Compared to conventional battery technology, lithium batteries charge faster, last longer, and have higher power density, providing longer battery life and a lighter body.

For lithium-ion battery devices, you can charge the battery at any time without deliberately recharging the battery in order to reduce the number of times it is charged.

No matter how many times you charge in the middle, when the power consumption is equal to 100%, the phone completes a "charge cycle."

For example, when we go to sleep at night, we fully charge the phone, use 75% of the power the next day, then fully charge it, then remove the power and use 25% of the power, then complete a "charge cycle." "." After completing a "charge cycle", the maximum battery power of the mobile phone will be reduced a little.

Apple said that lithium-ion batteries can maintain at least 80% of their original battery capacity after many charge cycles. If you feel that there is a problem with the battery, please reply to the "warranty" in the public app AppSo for Apple warranty plan information and Apple warranty appointment tutorial.

How to check the battery capacity?

First, you can first check to see if the system comes with relevant information.

Take the Mac as an example. You can use the "Power" item in "System Information" to learn about the battery status. The "cycle count" is the number of completed charge cycles.

App So (Public App So) Tip: The system information app is in the "Launch pad-Other" folder by default.

Mobile phones can be viewed with third-party tools such as iMazing (iOS), Coconut Battery (iOS & macOS), and Accu Battery (Android).

Is the charging cable unplugged after it is fully charged?

Such a common problem, manufacturers must also consider. As you can see in the above picture, a fully charged and powered Mac will display "Full Charge: Yes; Charging: No".

The technology to prevent overcharging will vary with different brands and models of equipment. For more information, please consult the relevant official statement or consult an official.

Battery life is the same, why can others use it longer than you?

Due to the characteristics of the lithium battery, the following battery life protection measures are applicable to the iOS and Android platforms.

1. Use the latest operating system

In the case of Apple, the official version will be updated from time to time. The new version of the operating system usually contains advanced energy-saving technologies, so please try to upgrade the operating system of your mobile phone and tablet to the latest version.

2. Stay away from extreme temperatures

According to Apple's official documentation, 16 ° C to 22 ° C is the ideal temperature zone, long-term use of electronic equipment in the environment beyond 35 ° C, may cause permanent damage to the battery in severe cases may be charged with full charge.

In a cold environment, the battery life will be reduced and even shutdown, but this situation will disappear when the battery temperature returns to normal, a brief low temperature will not have a serious impact on battery performance.

3. Long-term storage also retains half of the battery

If your device is to be placed for a long time, do not fully charge or discharge it, keep about 50% of the power. This will not have a significant impact on performance when you use it again.

Turn off the power of the device and store the device in a cool, non-humid environment. The temperature is better than 32 °C. If you want to store your device for more than 6 months, it is best to charge the device to 50% of the charge every six months.

App So (App so) suggests: After a long period of storage, there may be a shortage of power. Before using again, they need to be recharged for 20 minutes.
