< P > Edition AndroidPolice.com & Nbsp; Nbsp; Nbsp; About Myths and Effective Methods for Batteries.

< H2 > What actually means the extension of the battery life

< p > When the manufacturer mentions that the life of the device should be 6 years, then the estimated average value is meant. In reality, the battery may fail before or later, & mdash; It all depends on custom experience.

< p >The extension of the service life means optimization of the battery and maintaining the proper methods of keeping its charge. Thus, if you use normal use, if the battery operates from 15 to 24 hours outside the maximum charge savings mode, you should strive for a higher limit (24 hours). Personal habits, software setup and even overall device care determine the overall battery status and the life of the device.

< H2 > Is the charge restraint up to 85% extends the battery life ?0 ~/h2 > < p > yes, prolongs. But not everything is so unambiguous. First, you are important charging speed, for example, you choose fast or normal charging. In addition, the actual charger matters. Unofficial chargers can affect the battery life; They may not have an adjustable output power.

< p >The problem is overheating. Heat is released as a bypass product of an electrochemical reaction in the battery. Normally, if the phone is heated (a little warm), but if it overheats (gets hot), it is a sign of a defective charger, port or battery. Night charging can prevent tracking this effect.

< p > maintain the charge in the range of 20% to 80% & mdash; This is optimal for lithium-ion batteries. Frequent discharge of the smartphone up to 0% wears a lithium-ion battery, since every time the complete discharge of the electrodes will accumulate more material than those in the solution. Charging will push the ions back into the solution; Over time, some of them will forever stick to the electrodes, losing a constant battery charge.

< p > most of the phones are equipped with a defense mechanism that is switched off, even if the battery charge falls below 0%. The value 0% is not actually 0%. But if you allow the phone to stay at 0% for a long time, the charge will eventually lose.

< p >Ideally, you need to maintain a charge in the range of 40% to 80% to store the battery in the best shape. This range allows you to avoid the load on the battery and minimize degradation. It also helps to avoid extreme charging levels, recharging (while charging above 80%) and deep charging (while charging below 40%), which carries a higher risk of releasing more heat than usual when charging in the optimal range.

< p > If the device overheats, this is a sign that the phone is likely to get irreversible battery damage.

< h2 > What is the battery memory effect ?0 ~/h2 > < p >The effect of memory was previously a phenomenon studied in nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal-hydrate batteries. If these batteries are repeatedly recharged after partial discharge, they gradually lose their useful capacity. This means that the battery no longer holds as much charge as it was compared to what it really is.

< P > As a result, many believe that once a month should be deeply discharged by the battery (to give the phone completely discharged) so that it does not charge only to a partial capacity. Studies have shown that lithium-ion batteries do not have this problem, ie they do not show memory effect.

< H2 > Can the background applications close up the battery life ?0 ~/h2 > < p > and so, and no. It depends on the smartphone software. For example, Apple has a suspension function. Closing and re -opening the program can lead to a larger discharge of a battery than suspension of these applications.

< P > Working in the background, the applications consume the computing power of the device and interact with the Wi-Fi network determination services and the battery. Most Android phones have ways to combat background applications to reduce battery discharge; Samsung's phones have a list of applications for deep sleep, and Pixel phones have settings that allows you to turn on/off background activity.

< H2 > Conclusions < P > If you really want to extend the life of the phone's battery, the authors advise you to set up the charging mode and carefully monitor the percentage displayed.
