Extending The Life Of Your Battery

By Rick Scefield

Most of us have had the experience of having our cell phone battery die when we need to use our cell phone the most. Many people wonder if there are any tricks of the trade to help them extend the life of their cell phone battery. Well the answer is YES there are some things you can do to extend your cell phone battery.

The first thing to understand is to know what type of cell phone battery you have. Most cell phones come equipped with a Lithium Ion Battery which is the newest and most effective battery on the market today. These batteries don't have memory like the nickel cadmium batteries do. What that means is that when you charge a lithium ion battery it does not remember how full it was when you charged it last. This ensures that your battery charges fully.

Don't charge your phone in extreme weather conditions. If its 20 below zero or 150 degrees inside of a car while your phone is charging it will ruin the ion cells that keep the battery charge. Make sure you charge your battery in room temperature conditions.

Extreme weather conditions are also not good for the battery. Make sure when you charge your battery you do it at normal room temperature and make sure you don't leave your phone in the sun while charging. Extreme heat and cold can mess with the ion cells in the battery which will effect the way they hold a charge.

People love the vibrate feature, but it kills your battery. Most people that have their phones die fast use the vibrate function. Vibrate uses a lot of battery power and causes you to charge your battery more and more. Remember the more you charge the battery the more you are using up its 300 charge life cycle time.

Coverage areas can also effect battery life. If you are going camping or going into an analog signal, just shut off the phone until you need to use it. Analog signals use alot more battery power and will deplete the battery faster.

These tips can definitely help you save your battery and extend its life. It will also help you to have the energy you need to make the calls when you need to make them.
