Tips for phone battery life

Follow

Today's phone batteries need to be charged and used in a different way than those of mobiles gone past. Here's a few tips to ensure a long life from your mobile phone's battery.

Plug in your phone anytime you can

You don’t need to teach your phone the battery’s capacity by going from full charge to zero, or zero to full. We recommend you occasionally drain your battery to under 10% and then charge it fully overnight.

Use the power cable that came with your phone

Other power adapters and chargers can charge slowly or not at all. They can also damage your phone or battery. 

Turn on battery saver mode

  1. On your phone, open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Battery > Battery Saver.
  3. Choose a schedule for battery saver mode or automatically turn it off.

Tip: When Battery Saver is on, it turns on Dark theme and limits or turns off background activity, so some visual effects, certain features, network connections, and apps may experience delays in this mode.

Keep it cool

Avoid situations where your phone can overheat, especially when your battery is fully charged. Your battery drains much faster when it's hot, even when not in use. This kind of drain can damage your battery.

Stretch a low battery

If you notice your phone has low battery you can try to stretch your battery life by following a few rules to keep battery usage down. 

Screen brightness - Lighting up the screen is the number one drain on today's phones, if possible dim the screen on your phone

Bluetooth - if you're not using it, turn it off.  Otherwise it will continue to look for nearby friends.

Avoid actions that keep the screen on such as watching videos as this will drain your battery.
