Phone batteries are always a challenge when on rural holiday or mission back in reserve areas where power is not a common thing.
In addition, no traveler can resist to capture the best moments of their journey, whether in selfies, photos of the places they visit and recording videos that can capture various scenes of the trip; or activate your GPS to know the routes you must follow.
Each of these actions generates a significant amount of energy and the worry of every traveller is to run out of battery and without being able to recharge it.
For this reason, we present some tips that will preserve the battery life of the smartphone as long as possible
Deactivate location
It is not necessary to keep the location active, only in the necessary moments such as when using a map or to take a taxi, and in some types of travel it will not even be necessary.
Limit connectivity
Keep Bluetooth off and activate airplane mode at times when you really do not need to access the Internet. Then you can reconnect when you want to upload the photos and videos of the trip to social networks.
Activate power saver mode
Many smartphone brands have their own power manager, which allows significantly reducing battery by disabling activities and limiting the home screen to the most important applications. In addition, the same saver mode suggests what is the best time to activate it according to the use of the smartphone, stretching the autonomy of the team up to two days.
Update applications before traveling
It is better to make sure that the smartphone applications have the latest version, since in some cases the apps allow you to consume less battery when used. In addition, downloading the updates can generate great battery wear.
Disable Wi-Fi
If the Internet connection is necessary and you have mobile data, it is better to keep the Wi-Fi connection option off. Otherwise, the smartphone will update the closest Wi-Fi networks at all times.
Choose wisely the applications that will be used
Probably you will not need some complementary applications during the trip. Health applications and exercises, which will not be indispensable, can be deactivated to the use of data in order to prolong the battery life.
Check which applications are spending the most battery charge
Seeing among the settings of the option “Battery” you can identify the list of applications that are most depleting the power of the smartphone. In this way, it is possible to limit the use of the applications that will be used.
Lower the brightness of the screen
During the day and under the sun, it may be necessary for the brightness of the screen to rise completely, but when it is dark or indoors, it is better to change the brightness to the lowest level.
Not always active
In a world where everyone is connected, it is difficult to avoid being up to date with the news, the latest publications on social networks and the latest YouTube videos. However, being connected to the time will make it impossible to live the experience of the trip to the fullest. It is best to turn off notifications and check social networks only when necessary.
