Your Android smartphone is shiny and new right now, but as your phone ages, you might be wondering what will happen to its battery life. Will it die a slow death? Will it charge quickly and easily right up until the end? The short answer: your phone\u2019s battery won\u2019t last or work efficiently after time has passed \u2014 unless you have a little help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Total Charge to Improve Battery Life<\/b><\/p>\n

The best way to preserve your phone\u2019s battery life is to use Total Charge. Take advantage of this feature so that you don\u2019t have to keep constant tabs on your phone, guessing when it\u2019s fully charged. Total Charge will monitor your battery\u2019s charging process for you so that you can prevent your phone from overcharging. Overcharging can lead to your device overheating, which will damage your phone\u2019s battery and shorten its lifespan. Click here to protect your phone\u2019s battery:<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, look for the \u201csettings\u201d tab. Then, click on \u201cTotal Charge.\u201d Tap \u201cActivate Total Charge.\u201d That\u2019s it. Nothing more to it. Now you can easily see, at a glance, how your battery is performing. This is a true lifesaver when it comes to extending the life of your Android phone\u2019s battery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phone Batteries Don\u2019t Last Forever<\/b><\/p>\n

The sad truth is this: your cell phone battery will begin to degrade over time. It\u2019s all due to the materials that compose cell phone batteries, namely lithium-ion and lithium-polymer. As these devices age, the batteries begin to lose their capacity for holding a charge. They\u2019ll hold a charge for less time, and heat will make the problem even worse. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, the batteries will die altogether. Some studies have shown that even pricier lithium-polymer batteries can actually lose roughly 20% of their capacity after only 1000 charging cycles. When you think of how frequently you use and charge your phone, it begins to add up fast. But there are some different things that you can do to improve your phone\u2019s battery life so that your device lasts longer. In addition to using Total Charge, one way is to let your phone lose roughly 75% of its power and then charge it up to 100%. This method will help keep it running longer.<\/span><\/p>\n
