What to do (and what not) for the cell battery to last longer: the most effective advice

Is it convenient to leave the cell phone Loading all night? Better to get to zero to plug it in? And what happens when used while loading?

Each lithium ion battery comes with a fixed amount of load cyclesthat is, the number of times that can go from zero to one hundred. On average, a telephone has a shelf life of between 500 and 700 load cycles. But that does not mean that you can plug 500 times. A mistreated phone can last between 400 and 500 cycles, which is equivalent to about 2 years.

Instead, If you keep it wellit can reach between 750 and 1,000 cycles, which takes to duration between three and five years.

The key is not to let it empty but distribute it in several short sections. If between 20% and 80% throughout the day, the time that these 500 charges will last.

Thus, the device It will be affected if it goes from 1% to 100% frequentlyand even take away a part of the life of the battery. In both iPhone and Android, the truth is that at present this type of practices ruin the battery.

One of the worst and most dangerous things you can do is use Cheap or incompatible cables. In fact, those stories where phones set fire out of nowhere, have to do with this type of problem.

This is why it is better to always use the Factory accessories that each device brings (although brands like Samsung stopped selling their equipment with loaders, which must be bought separately).

It is always key to know what most consumes the battery of the device and put the magnifying glass there.

“Among those uses that consume more are: the loading applications of content, games and audiovisual entertainment. The screen is undoubtedly one of the components that have the greatest consumption. It is also important Always close the applications in the background“indicates a Clarion Pablo Brancone, Motorola product manager for Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.

The best thing to do when the phone is loading is not to use it. But if this is not possible, what if you do not have to do is run applications at that time that demands a lot of processing.

So, The worst is to plug the device while playing. This is because the games consume a lot of energy, and can be heated more with the effort to play and be loading. Both actions at the same time can overheat the mobile.

This is the other face of the problem: Having the load at 100% does not do the device well. It is, in fact, as bad as leaving it at 0%. And this is a typical problem of leaving the phone loading all night, since it reaches 100% and several hours are plugged in. This is not good for the life cycle of the battery.

It is also true that modern phones, when they reach 100%, stop loading precisely to avoid this problem. But when it drops to 99%, it loads again to reach 100%. The harmful thing is that this small cycle is repeated again and again and is not good for the battery.

However, there are cell phones that have a system to prevent them when they reach the top, continue loading. A good way to check if the mobile is in conditions is, in the morning, touch it. If it is cold, it responds perfectly. If it’s hot, you better never let it carry at night.

And what about fast charging? Not being able to solve the problem of battery life (there is no device in which it lasts much more than one day) manufacturers introduced the fast charging into their most expensive devices, so that at least, when it is needed, “they can be given air” and pass from red to green in less than an hour.

The good thing is that this system does not shorten the useful life of these batteries. The fast charge has a whole protection system: there is an energy and temperature management to achieve a clean load. In addition, there are regulators with voltage management so that the phone, as well as the battery, does not suffer any damage.

To access this advantage, both the cell phone and the loader must have fast charging, what some brands also call “turbo.” If the charger is connected to a non -compatible device, it will use a value of 5V, the minimum not to damage the battery. Thus, he will not load quickly, but he will not damage it either.

“We incorporate new load technologies as we present with the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. With this device, users can obtain power for the whole day in just 7 minutes thanks to the 125W Turbopower load, the fastest so far. Even this model includes wireless load of up to 50W,” Brancone exemplifies.

• Put the phone mode accelerates the load since it does not use hardware resources to search for networks and notifications.

• Load the phone without the case. The more heat dissipates within the battery, the more possibilities there is that long -term damage occurs.
