Why Do Cell Phone Batteries Lose Capacity?
You buy your fancy new cell phone. The
array lasts perpetually, but after
a couple of months the array doesn't last as long. Still the room
it has gets you by. After a year though, the thing hardly holds a
charge. What was it that you did that causes this?
Many
people reckon that they haven't by the book cared for their array, and
that's the reason it will no longer hold a charge. They reckon that if
they had by the book discharged their batteries before recharging them, it
would've made a difference. While this is right for the ancient Ni-Cad
batteries we used to use, this is not right for the lithium-ion
batteries that are used in the cell phones we use today. What
does matter is the age of the array, the warmth they are stored
at, and the amount of power left in them
while they are stored. The cooler the background the array is kept
in, the less of a rate it will lose it's room as long as it's not
extremely low temperatures. Another thing to note is the rate of
charging and discharging the array also reduces the room. With
these things in mind, here are some tips to giving your cell phone
array longer life.
- Don't
charge your array all the way full unless you really have to. Keep
the charge as low as doable but with enough of a charge so that you
won't run out of power during the day. - Keep your
phone cool. Avoid leave-taking it in a hot car. Investing in a case to carry
the phone away from your body heat may be a excellent thought as well. - Avoid
using quick chargers. Many car chargers rapidly charge
batteries. The cheap chargers you find on eBay these days are
notorious for hurtful batteries. Only use a mount that
charges the phone at a slower rate. - Unplug the
phone immediately once it's refined charging. This will
preclude exposure to excessive heat. - When storing
the phone or array, discharge the array as much as
doable and place it in a cool background.
