The battery life on your phone seems to get worse with time. Though this is something you can’t avoid, there are ways to ensure you get the most out of it. Depending on how you use your phone and the following tips, you will be able to prolong your phone’s battery life.

  1. Use Auto Brightness

Since you can’t avoid looking at your phone, ensure that it consumes the least amount of charge as possible. Enable auto-brightness to help regulate your screen’s brightness. Auto-brightness adjusts the brightness to the setting that looks readable. When it’s dark, it dims the screen light thus saving your battery life. You can also use the manual adjuster though you’ll have to do this repeatedly.

  1. Disable Vibrate Mode

One of the biggest battery drainers is the vibrate mode. If you prefer your phone to vibrate every time you receive a message, notification or call, this might cost you your phone’s battery life. Unlike a simple ringtone, the vibrate mode has to make your phone move thus using a lot of power. Disable this feature unless it’s completely necessary.

  1. Enable Power Saving Mode

Your phone comes with a power-saving mode. Make use of it. Every so often, turn on the power-saving mode to prolong your battery life. Additionally, you can download power-saving apps which have more advanced options. Such apps track your battery usage and tell you which phone features are draining your battery.

  1. Use Dark Mode

Many Android phones now come with a dark mode feature thanks to the latest operating system. Not only does it look attractive, but it also helps preserve your phone’s battery life. The dark mode reduces the screen brightness significantly thus making it more battery-efficient.

  1. Avoid Fast Charging

The fast charging feature comes with most modern phones and helps save you a lot of time when you’re in a hurry. However, it shouldn’t be used on a daily basis as it reduces your battery’s storage capacity. The slower the charging rate, the better your battery life. Therefore, get an ordinary charger if your phone comes with a default fast charger.

  1. Recalibrate Your Phone

Once in a while, you should let your phone drain to 0%, power down then charge it to full capacity. This works especially if you notice your phone has a wrong reading. It will help solve this problem. additionally, if your phone powers down before it gets to low battery, this might help. It’s recommended to do this only when it’s completely necessary. If your phone, doesn’t have an issue, you don’t have to recalibrate.

  1. Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Temperature affects your phone’s battery life in a negative way. Extreme temperatures drain your battery faster. Therefore, if you live in hot places, avoid exposing your phone to direct sunlight. Additionally, extreme heat does more damage to your phone’s battery life than cold temperatures. Make sure your phone stays at room temperature for longer battery life. There are apps you can get that can cool your battery, you should consider getting one.
