TechTalk: Prolong your phone’s battery life

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.
