Smartphone batteries nowadays are larger and smarter, but your charging habits and usage patterns still matter.  Whether you use an iPhone or an Android Smartphone, some proven tips can help you extend your phone's battery life and overall performance.

🔌 1. Use Smart Charging (20–80% Range)

• Avoid charging your battery to 100% or draining it to 0%. Keeping your battery between 20% and 80% will help extend its health.
• Enable Optimised Charging Option (on iOS and Android)
• Avoid full-night charging.

Tip: It works because Lithium-ion batteries degrade faster at 100% and under 20%

🌡️ 2. Keep Your Phone Cool

• Heat is the enemy of battery longevity. Keep your device in the 0°C to 35°C range.
• Don’t charge under direct sunlight
• Avoid gaming while charging
• Remove the phone case if it traps heat

Tip: Charging + heat = faster battery wear.

🌙 3. Adjust Your Screen Settings

Your display is the biggest battery drainer. Optimise it:

• Turn on Dark Mode (especially on OLED)
• Use Auto Brightness
• Lower screen timeout to 30 seconds
• Keep the refresh rate to 60Hz or lower until needed

Tip: Save up to 30% of power daily

🚫 4. Limit Background Processes

• Stop apps from silently draining your power:
• Disable Background App Refresh
• Turn off Auto-Sync
• Restrict location, Bluetooth, and 5G when not in use

Tip: Social media and map apps are the biggest culprits.

🔋 5. Use Battery Saver Modes

• Battery Saver (Android) and Low Power Mode (iOS) are built-in features that:
• Reduce screen brightness and animation
• Pause background syncing
• Limit CPU speed
• Set them to activate below 20% or manually turn them on when needed.

🔋 Pro Tip: Avoid Fast Charging &  Latest Software = Long-Term Battery Gains

Keeping your phone’s software up to date ensures it benefits from the latest AI-based power optimisations. At the same time, avoiding fast charging when not needed helps reduce heat and stress on the battery. Together, these two habits can significantly extend your phone’s battery health and lifespan over time.
