[Tips &Tricks] Phone Battery: 4 Can't-miss Facts

The battery is one of the most important components of a phone. If the battery is well maintained, the user experience of the phone will be better. So the daily maintenance of a battery is very important. How do we maintain the battery in daily use? Here are 4 battery facts you cannot miss.

1. What is the best time to charge your phone?
Some guys are used to charging their phones when they are out of power. In fact, the cleaner the battery is discharged, the greater the battery loss, so avoid charging when the battery level is below 20%. In addition, do not overcharge the battery. It is recommended to keep the power at 20 ~ 80%.

2. Is it OK to charge all night?
Many people are used to charging their phones before going to bed until the next morning. However, if your phone is always connected to the charger, the battery will be under high voltage for a long time. In this case, the active material inside the battery is in a metastable state, which will accelerate the battery loss. It is recommended that you remove the charger in time.

3. How does environment temperature affect the charging?
The chemical characteristics of the lithium battery determine its ambient temperature (it is specified in the user manual of the phone). In the low-temperature environment, the electrochemical activity of the battery will deteriorate, and the power that can be efficiently used is lower than at normal temperatures. When your phone is running power-intensive apps (such as photo taking, video recording, and gaming), the remaining power that can be efficiently used will drop faster than when it is in the normal temperature environments. In the high-temperature environment, using your phone while charging will generate more heat and cause battery loss. It is recommended that you avoid using your phone while charging.

4. Will a non-standard charger damage the battery?
Chargers of different brands differ in charging specifications and fast charging principles. If you use a non-standard charger to charge your phone, fast charging may not work and your phone may be damaged. So using the standard charger to charge your phone is the best.
