It is important to charge your Android device properly to keep your battery healthy and long lasting. Here are tips on how to charge your Android devices so they perform optimally and have maximum battery life:
1. Use the correct charger
Always use the charger that came with your device, or a high-quality third-party charger approved for use with your device. A charger that is not suitable for the battery or does not perform well can damage the battery or reduce its capacity.
2. Don’t let your phone charge.
Best Partial Charging: Keep your battery between 20% and 80% charged whenever possible. Regularly charging the battery to 100% and then allowing it to discharge may damage the battery and shorten its lifespan.
3. Short-term charging
Charge when it suits you: Instead of charging your phone from 0% to 100% in one go, you can charge it faster and more often.
4. Check the charging temperature
Avoid too much heat: Keep your device away from places that are too hot while charging. Excessive heat during charging will damage the battery more quickly. If you notice that your device gets warmer than normal while charging, you can remove the case to dissipate the heat faster.
5. Unplug the power cord after it is full
Avoid Overcharging: Most modern Android phones stop charging when the battery is full, but it’s still a good idea to unplug your phone when it’s fully charged to avoid burning out the phone and putting a strain on the battery.
6. Use energy saving mode
Enable battery saver: Use the built-in battery saver mode to avoid battery drain, especially when the battery is low. To extend battery life, these settings typically reduce screen brightness, stop syncing, and limit the amount of data that can be used in the background.
7. Take care of battery health by checking battery usage regularly
Check your device’s battery settings to see which apps are consuming the most power. You may want to uninstall apps that drain your battery quickly or don’t allow you to run them in the background.
8. Set the battery voltage
Calibrate regularly: If you are experiencing problems with battery power or battery life is decreasing rapidly, recalibrating the battery may help. Allow the battery to charge all the way to 0% and then immediately charge to 100% to reset.
9. Make your installation work better
Adjust Efficiency: To extend battery life while charging and using your device, lower the brightness, shorten the time between screensavers, turn off unnecessary notifications, and turn off Bluetooth and GPS when not in use.
10. Be aware of charging cycles
Consider the number of charges: Android phone lithium-ion batteries can only be charged from 0% to 100% a certain number of times. You can extend the life of your battery by limiting full cycles and partial charging.
