One of the main complaints that smartphone users have is that the batteries do not last all day. Some have to charge it at least twice in one day to keep it operational.
Also, it has generated a series of popular myths to optimize the battery and maintain its useful life; However, most are false and have no advantage.
Here are some tips for users to use their computers with higher performance.
You must wait until the battery runs out to recharge the phone:
It is believed that charging the phone frequently damages the life of the battery, so many people wait until it is fully discharged to connect the charger. According to LG, users can charge the battery as many times as they want without compromising its durability.
Generic chargers damage the battery:
Users should prioritize charging the battery of their smartphones using the original (same brand) for its optimal performance. Alternative chargers are cheaper but take longer to recharge and do harm the life of the battery.
The cell phone will charge faster in airplane mode:
Airplane mode turns off network and WiFi functions, so the phone uses less battery while charging, allowing it to reach 100% in less time. The downside to this trick is that users will not be able to receive calls or surf the Internet.
Cell phones charge slower when connected to a computer:
The charging speed depends on the electrical power of the accessories to charge it (a USB port or a wall adapter). A charger is typically twice the voltage of a USB port, so it will charge faster plugged into the outlet.
The battery loses power if users leave it charging overnight:
There is that concern and LG debunks that myth. Today’s smartphones stop charging the phone when the battery is 100% so they are still plugged in.
There is no problem using the phone while charging:
This is true, although LG recommends waiting for the phone to charge at least 10 minutes when the battery is exhausted before using it.
It is advisable to turn off the phone from time to time:
It is convenient to turn it off for a few minutes at least once a week to optimize the life of the battery.
Apps that optimize battery life have no real benefit:
They work by issuing frequent alerts and banner ads, so instead of saving battery power, it consumes more power.
New cell phones need a half day charge:
This recommendation is usually provided, although it is not necessary. It is enough to charge two or three hours for the cell phone to start using it.
