Before anything else, one must know the difference between the terms “battery life” and “battery
lifespan”. The former is the time wherein your battery will run until it needs to be recharged.
The latter, refers to the span of time your batteries will last before it must be replaced.
Now, with that cleared, lets get to the business of taking care of your phone’s batteries. If you
get puzzled as to why you charge your phone everyday when others just charge it every 3 days,
you may be running a lot of applications on your phone without getting anything essential in
return.
Check out these tips on how to save battery life:
1. Minimize use of applications that are not needed at the moment such as location services.
Even when not in use, this app will continue to drain your batteries.
2. Turn off WiFi. This is highly recommended especially in places where there is really no WiFi
signal in the first place, or when you are not likely to use it.
3. Turn off Blue-tooth. This is not just a battery life-saver tip, it also helps keep your phone
secure by not being visible to other users.
4. Turn off push mails and notifications; avoid auto-checking lots of email accounts. This helps
minimize the activities of your phone. If not turned off or at least minimized, your phone could
be spending more battery life than it needs to even when you’re asleep and not using it at all.
5. Adjust brightness. Your phone does not need to be at its brightest especially when the place
you’re staying in has adequate light. Aside from that, lowering the brightness of your phone’s
screen to what is most comfortable can be good for your eyes too.
Batteries are an essential part of modern-day gadgets, taking care of it means taking care of the
actual gadget, and at the same time saving you time, effort and of course, money.
