Ways You’re Reducing the Lifespan of Your Phone’s Battery

No matter who you are or what you do, you need an Android battery you can count on. Some days it seems like it drains so fast. Are you breaking the following battery don’ts? Here are 5 ways you could be reducing your battery’s lifespan.

Range of Temperatures
If you throw your smartphone on the passenger seat while using Bluetooth and a streaming music service, is your phone stuck in the sun the whole time? If so, you may cause your phone to overheat, not only shutting down your phone (and your direction app), but potentially damaging your phone’s battery in the process. A cold environment won’t help your battery last either. Your phone’s charge will decrease while you are in the cold. Yes, it is temporary, but frequent cold won’t do it any favors.

Bad or Poor Signals
When you are in an area with a spotty signal, your phone is probably working really hard to find you a better connection. Switch to airplane mode to prevent a drain on your battery. Just remember to turn it on again when you get back to civilization.

Notifications Galore
Do you allow every app you’ve ever downloaded to send you notifications? If so, you may want to rethink that decision. Every time an app has something to tell you, there’s a good chance you will want to check it out. Doing so won’t do your Android’s battery any favors. Sort through your list of app notifications and only allow the apps you actually need.
