Smartphone batteries are the lifeblood of our devices, but they don't last forever. If you've noticed your phone dying faster than usual, you're not alone. Battery degradation is a natural process, but there are ways to slow it down and manage it.
Why Do Batteries Degrade?
Most smartphones use Lithium-Ion batteries. Over time, these batteries lose their capacity to hold a charge. This is due to the chemical reactions that occur inside the battery during charging and discharging cycles. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can also accelerate this degradation.
Tips to Extend Battery Life
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep your phone out of direct sunlight and don't leave it in a hot car.
- Optimize Settings: Lower your screen brightness and turn on battery saver mode when needed.
- Manage Background Apps: Close apps you aren't using and restrict background data usage.
- Smart Charging: Try to keep your battery between 20% and 80% charged. Avoid letting it drop to 0% or staying at 100% for long periods.
When to Replace Your Battery
If your phone shuts down unexpectedly, only works when plugged in, or the battery swells (pushing the screen out), it's time for a replacement. At ÜPhone, we offer quick and affordable battery replacements to get your device running like new again.
