Today I’m going to tell you how to check your phone battery life and how you can extend it. Most mobile phones are used on a two-year contract, and then the phone is replaced within a few months after the contract ends. Most of the reasons for replacing cell phones are because of the life of the cell phone battery.

Most of the cell phone batteries we use are lithium ion batteries. Although these lithium-ion batteries are small in size, they have a higher capacity than other batteries and rarely self-discharge over time even when not in use. 휴대폰 배터리 수명 확인
In addition, lithium-ion batteries have the advantage that their capacity does not decrease when recharged in an undischarged state, so they are used as most mobile phone batteries. 좋은뉴스
However, even these lithium-ion batteries are consumables and there is a maximum lifespan of a battery charge, so the battery life of a mobile phone is limited. However, if you refer to today’s tips on how to extend your phone’s battery life, you can extend it even further.
How to increase cell phone battery life
As for the lifespan of a lithium-ion battery, battery performance drops off rapidly after about 500 recharges. Here, the standard of 500 times refers to the number of charging from 0% to 100%, not the number of simple chargers plugged into the phone.
For example, if you charge your phone twice from 50% to 100%, you can think of it as one charge.
1. Cell phone battery drain
Discharging the battery to 0% can be detrimental to battery life. A downside of lithium-ion batteries is that a full discharge can shorten the battery life of a mobile phone fatally.
Therefore, it is recommended to charge the battery before it drops below 20%. Also, it is recommended to charge the cell phone battery to 80-90% rather than 100%.
2. Temperature
Lithium-ion batteries are temperature sensitive. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid using it at too low or too high temperatures.
The proper temperature for using these lithium-ion batteries is around 20 to 30 degrees, and it can be difficult to meet this temperature in everyday life. That’s why you can extend your phone’s battery life by refraining from using your phone only in places that are too cold or too hot.
