Increase the lifespan of your smartphone
Although smartphones are becoming more and more powerful, they still suffer from a handicap that has not improved over the years, they tend to unload quickly, some smartphones even need to charge them several times a day.
It's a bit paradoxical but it's hard to imagine for today's young people, but the first mobile phones only needed to be recharged once a week, things have changed with smartphones, so we tend to want to save every little extra minute of battery at all costs.
All smartphones currently use the same battery technology: Lithium-ion or Li-ion.
Like everything has a beginning and an end, Li-ion batteries have a maximum number of life cycles before their autonomy will collapse. One cycle represents a complete discharge followed by complete recharging of the battery.
The advantage with Li-ion is that if you discharge your battery 50% and then recharge it 100%, it will be equivalent to 1/2 cycle. Currently, Li-ion batteries have a life span of 500 to 1000 recharge cycles.

Taking care of your battery
You must never let your battery fall below the 5% capacity threshold, when the battery reaches the deep discharge threshold on multiple occasions, a reversal process takes place within the battery and one of the cells may become inactive and no longer recharge, a missing cell means a 33% loss of autonomy, avoid as much as possible falling below the 5% charge bar.
When using the original charger or products that comply with European regulations, a mechanism cuts off the recharging of the battery once it's full, the energy delivered by the charger then only serves to power the smartphone so that it doesn't have to use the battery.
So beware of counterfeit chargers that do not comply with European regulations.
Note that if you use your smartphone while it is charging, it gives off more heat, which can damage it in the long term.
Charging the battery fully the first time you use it?
The answer is no. There's no point in fully charging the battery the first time you use it, the battery can reach its maximum capacity.
Closing applications
Some applications such as twitter, Facebook or weather applications, for example, update automatically in the background and therefore consume power, so always remember to close these applications in the background.
Unnecessary connections
4G, WI-FI, Bluetooth or NFC, are very useful connections but do not need to be active all the time, they are known to be energy-consuming, do not hesitate to deactivate them when you do not need them.
Energy-saving mode
This mode can be very useful when there is not much autonomy left, these "power saving modes" generally cut 4G, WI-FI, NFC, GPS connections and disable notifications.
Animated wallpapers
Of course, it's nice to see and give nice customization to your smartphone, but it requires a lot of resources to your processor, disable it and you will gain precious minutes of autonomy. If you have an AMOLED screen, avoid white or clear backgrounds.
Overheating
A hot smartphone and always bad for its autonomy. The heat will have a negative effect on the autonomy in the short term, so avoid leaving your smartphone lying around in the sun.
Changing your smartphone battery
You've tried everything, but your smartphone's battery runs down very quickly? all you have to do is change it.
The problem is that only some smartphones have a removable battery, if this is not your case then you have to go to a specialist to change it, but be careful because this operation can lead to the cancellation of the warranty of your smartphone.
So be sure to weigh the pros and cons before taking such a step.
Is it dangerous to leave a charged battery connected to the mains?
But no, it is still an old myth that dates back to ancient battery technologies. The common misconception was that if you leave the smartphone on the mains after being 100% charged it's not only useless but it can also be harmful to the smartphone.When using the original charger or products that comply with European regulations, a mechanism cuts off the recharging of the battery once it's full, the energy delivered by the charger then only serves to power the smartphone so that it doesn't have to use the battery.

The answer is no. There's no point in fully charging the battery the first time you use it, the battery can reach its maximum capacity.
Reduce the brightness of the display
The brighter your display, the more battery power it consumes, so lower the brightness of your display to save battery power.Closing applications
