Avoid fully charging (100%) or fully draining (0%) too often. Staying in this range improves long-term battery health.
Use Original or Certified Chargers and Cables:
These are designed to manage power efficiently and safely.
Enable Battery Saver Mode:
When not using demanding features, battery saver helps extend life between charges.
Avoid Intensive Use While Charging:
Gaming or video editing while charging generates excess heat.
Update Your Software:
Phone manufacturers often improve battery management with updates.
Charge Overnight Smartly:
If you must charge overnight, use phones with built-in battery optimization features (e.g., Adaptive Charging in Android, Optimized Battery Charging in iPhone) to avoid sitting at 100% for too long.
Turn Off Unused Features:
Disable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, or background apps when not needed to reduce power drain.
Store Properly if Not Using for a Long Time:
If storing your phone for weeks/months, leave the battery at about 50%, and keep it in a cool, dry place.
Avoid Overheating:
Don’t expose your phone to direct sunlight or hot surfaces for long periods.
Overheating can cause battery degradation or, in rare cases, swelling or explosion.
Don’t Use Damaged Batteries:
Swollen, leaking, or punctured batteries are hazardous and must be replaced immediately.
Avoid Deep Discharging:
Frequently letting your battery drop to 0% can shorten its lifespan.
Avoid Using Cheap or Non-Certified Chargers:
Low-quality chargers may not regulate voltage properly, risking overheating or fire.
Don't Charge Under a Pillow or in Confined Spaces:
It prevents heat dissipation, increasing fire risk.
Be Careful with Water:
Even water-resistant phones can suffer if moisture gets into the charging port while charging.
