Having the battery on your mobile device die is the WORST. Research indicates that the average North American spends about 5 hours per day on their mobile device, and this can drain the battery FAST. Luckily, there ARE a few ways that you can help prolong your device’s battery life. In this video, we’ll show you how to get more from your battery, so you don’t end up getting left high and dry!
Let us know how YOU maximize your battery life in the comments below!
EVERYDAY HABITS THAT DRAIN YOUR BATTERY
• Mobile Data- consider switching to WiFi or turning off mobile data altogether.
• Bluetooth and GPS- these will sap your battery if they’re running
• Push Notifications, Location Tracking, and Auto-Syncing- If you don’t need them, turn them off to save your battery life
• Power-Draining Apps- Checking your Settings to determine which apps use the most power can help you make conscious decisions about which apps you want to run while on low-battery
• Rarely used apps- Consider deleting apps you don’t use, as they can still drain power
• Airplane Mode- Your phone uses significantly less battery on airplane mode, so if you’re hurting for battery life, it can be helpful
CHARGING HABITS THAT CAN IMPROVE BATTERY LIFE
• Use the charger that came with your device. Off-brand chargers may not charge as efficiently
• Charge often, for short periods of time
• Keep your phone between 40% and 80% most of the time, rather than constantly going from 0-100%
• Low Power Mode- best when the phone is below 20%. This takes away some of the leg work of keeping the phone charged, and makes smart battery life decisions for you
• Don’t leave the phone dead for long periods. This can prevent it from holding a charge in the future
5 SIGNS YOUR BATTERY IS DOOMED
• No Power, even when plugged in
• Only powers on when plugged in
• Quickly loses its charge
• Hot to the touch
• Swollen or bulging battery
