Published on November 1, 2019, a tech publication, Wired, suggests that there are ways to keep a phone battery life last for a longer period.

According to Wired, with the right sort of care and attention, you can make sure your battery stays charged for longer—and lasts longer overall.

Here are four ways to extend battery life on a smartphone:

  • Avoid battery drain by not waiting for the battery to drain before charging it again. Lithium-ion batteries work better when just topped off.
  • Keep your phone cool by avoiding extreme temperatures, such as leaving it in a car on a hot day. Regular exposure to such conditions can slowly affect the performance of the battery.
  • Use chargers approved by the manufacturer and avoid fast chargers, as they can reduce the lifespan of your battery.
  • Keep your smartphone up to date with the latest software, as it can help monitor performance and extend battery life.
