Modern Lithium Ion Batteries (Li-ion) used in laptops, smartphones, and tablets but and in a bunch of other devices, is longer than the Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) pulses. Although more manageable, they still require some attention.
Everyone would like to extend the battery life of their device as much as possible. In this article, we'll give you some less-known tips that will help extend your battery's battery life and extend its overall life.
Attention, the following applies to Li-ion batteries
Avoid emptying the battery completely
Because Li-ion batteries have no “memory”, they can be charged without first waiting for them to fully discharge. To extend the life of the lithium-ion battery, charge your phone or tablet more often. The optimal time to charge it is when the battery indicator shows one price below 10-20 %. This will increase the number of discharge cycles up to 1000-1100.
Empty the battery every 3 months
Just as continuous emptying of the battery is unnecessary, keeping the battery fully charged for a long time is also harmful. Batteries are often charged and discharged in a random sequence, for example, you charge the battery at 50% via a USB to your job, then when you go home, you work it and it is discharged and then recharged back home your. These random charging-discharges may not affect lithium-ion batteries but this is not 100% true. It is recommended that you make a full discharge (emptying the battery) every 3 months after a full charge of up to 100%. When the battery is fully discharged, let it recharge for 8-12 hours. This helps to relieve your upper and lower levels of battery capacity.
Store your battery only partially charged
The optimal requirement for a long-term storage of a Li-ion battery is a charge level of 30 to 50%. If you leave the battery fully charged for a long time, the capacity will be significantly reduced! Also, a battery that remains fully discharged for a long time will lose its capacity.
Use the manufacturer's charger
Very often, the electronic parts of a charger are integrated inside a modern device, and the external adapter it simply only reduces the voltage (Volts that is). Some devices "reject" a foreign / non-original charger. If you use a third-party charger, you may reduce the battery capacity or even damage the device.
Avoid overheating
Heat is a very damaging factor for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Therefore, do not leave your phone or battery in direct sunlight. Do not leave them near heat sources, such as electric heaters etc. The range of thermowinelet for the battery to work properly is usually -40 to 50 degrees Celsius.
