A new study is out and it says we’ve been charging our phones wrong. Who knew! According to Battery University, (a site by battery company Cadex) people charge their phones in a way that ruins the battery life. Have you ever had to get a new phone because the battery won’t hold a charge? Well, it might be your fault. Here are the top 4 reason why that happens and how to fix it!
4. Charge your phone periodically during the day. Avoid long charging sessions.
3. Don’t charge your battery at extreme temperatures. “Extreme cold and high heat reduce charge acceptance, so the battery must be brought to a moderate temperature before charging,” Battery University says.
2. Don’t charge your battery to 100 percent. Battery University says, “it is better not to fully charge, because a high voltage stresses the battery”
1. Remove your phone from the charger when it is fully charged. Leaving your phone plugged in when fully charged is bad for battery life. According to Battery University, “this is like relaxing the muscles after strenuous exercise.
Well, now we know. We’ll have to do better! Well, that’s if we remember the rules.
