How to charge the battery of your mobile correctly?

How can you charge the battery of your mobile correctly? Follow these steps!

The battery of mobiles are one of the biggest headaches for both manufacturers and users. In many cases the problem of the low autonomy of mobile phones is because the correct charge is not made . For this reason, today at Phone Service Center we teach you how to charge the battery of your mobile correctly so that it lasts longer. Attentive!

To charge your mobile correctly: With the fast charge it avoids waiting, with the slow one it prolongs the useful life of the battery

The lithium - ion load faster than traditional until they reach 80% charge . Then they go into a slow charge mode . The time it takes for a battery to get 80% of its charge depends, among other things, on the terminal and its characteristics and how it is configured when you are charging it. This double speed has two advantages :

• You depend less on the plugs.
• Extend the life of your battery.

Steps to charge the battery of your mobile

With lithium ion batteries, you don't need to fully discharge them in order to charge them , but you can charge them whenever you want.

When they reach 100% charge, the devices with these batteries check how the use has been and begin to calculate what the wear will be like. You can spend 65% of your load during the day, put the mobile to charge at night and the next day spend the 35% that was missing. Here you would have a cycle that can last several days.

How to properly charge the lithium ion battery

Do not leave the mobile charging all night

Note: Do not leave it charging when it reaches 100%. Lithium can "crystallize" and the battery can lose life. 

Avoid extreme temperatures: they can damage the battery\

Both cold and heat in extreme temperatures are not good for your phone and can damage your battery. Avoid it!

• Use and keep your lithium-ion battery at a moderate temperature, ideally between 16 and 22 ° C .
• Charging your battery in a place with extremely hot temperatures could damage your device.
• On the contrary, if you use it in a very cold environment, you will notice that it costs much more to charge and therefore it lasts less. If you are traveling, don't worry, your battery will regain its capacity when you return to an environment with normal temperatures.
• And the most important point, the percentage of humidity in the environment. When there is a lot of humidity in the environment, the battery of your mobile will discharge much sooner . It may also affect equipment failures. 

Always keep your mobile clean

Be careful and try not to let dust or any other type of dirt get into the battery area or contact areas . Check the connectors and you will see how your battery charges better and increases its autonomy.

The most important thing is to have the charging connectors clean (take care that there are no dust or particles that can dirty or obstruct it). If you see that these connectors start to get dirty you can come to our stores and we will clean them. 

The battery suffers if you use protective covers

Some phones will overheat when charging with the covers on and this affects the battery . For this reason we recommend that you remove the case when you charge your phone . Be careful with the covers that are not official. 

Prevent your mobile from being completely downloaded

• Partial charges are better on a lithium ion battery than if the battery is fully discharged and you have to do a more intensive recharging.
• Recharging such a partially charged battery does not affect the memory of the battery.

 Fully discharge your battery once a month

Although lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory effect, we recommend fully discharging it every 30 charges (about once a month). This serves to calibrate the battery indicator of the mobile and guarantee its best accuracy. Ideally, you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations for use . 

How to charge the battery of your mobile for the first time?

When you take your new mobile out of the box, charge it until the battery reaches 100% charge (about 3 hours or so). Be aware of the mobile and when it reaches 100% disconnect it. 

How to calibrate the battery of your mobile?

1. Use the terminal until the battery is completely discharged and it turns off.
2. Do not charge or use it for 6 hours .
3. Once passed, charge it and when it reaches 100% leave it plugged in with the charger to the mains for 2 more hours .
4. Finally, disconnect it and use it normally .

Calibrate your iOS battery

• Fully charge your Apple device.
• Disconnect it from the charger and use it normally until the battery is completely used up and the terminal turns off .
• Do not connect it to the charger or turn it on for 6/8 hours .
• After this period of time, connect it to the charger and leave it until the battery is 100% charged without turning on the device . If it turns on, don't touch it, don't put the PIN or anything.
• After leaving it charging for 6/8 hours, you will force the restart of your iPhone / iPad by pressing and holding the Home and Power / Lock buttons until the apple appears on the device's screen, which is when you will release the buttons. Performing this process once a month will help improve the performance of your battery.
