How to extend your smartphone's battery life : CellularB2B Tips

In today's world, mobile phones have become essential tools, especially in the professional world. Whether it's to manage projects, stay connected with the team or perform complex tasks on the move, we rely on our devices more than ever. At CelularB2B, as distributors of mobile devices for the professional sector, we understand how vital it is to optimise the lifespan of your smartphone. One of the most critical parts of any phone is its battery. Here are some tips on how to maximise your smartphone's battery life and performance.

1. Avoid extreme temperatures

Extreme heat and cold are natural enemies of your phone's battery. Very high temperatures, such as leaving your phone in the sun or near a heat source, can irreversibly damage the battery, reducing its charging capacity. The same goes for extremely cold temperatures, which can affect battery performance and cause the phone to shut down prematurely. To protect your battery, be sure to keep your device in a moderate temperature environment, ideally between 20°C and 25°C.

2. Charge your phone smartly

One of the most common mistakes is leaving your phone charging overnight. Although modern smartphones are designed to stop charging once they reach 100%, keeping them plugged in constantly can put unnecessary stress on the battery. Instead of waiting until your phone is completely discharged or at 100%, try to keep your battery between 20% and 80% charge to prolong its life. Also, use quality chargers and avoid non-genuine or low-quality accessories, which could damage your device.

3. Use energy saving mode

Many smartphones have a **power saving mode** that limits the use of certain system resources to optimise battery life. Activating this mode when your battery is low or when you don't need maximum performance from your phone is an effective way to extend the time between charges. This setting reduces background activity, lowers screen brightness and limits the most power-hungry applications.

4. Disable unnecessary functions

We often leave functions on that we don't use constantly, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS or NFC. These functions can consume a significant amount of battery, even when they are not in use. A good habit is to turn them off when you don't need them. If you're in an area with poor network signal, also consider turning on aeroplane mode to prevent your phone from constantly searching for a signal, which drains the battery quickly.

5. Manage background applications

Many apps continue to run in the background, consuming power and resources, even when you are not actively using them. It's a good idea to check your smartphone settings to restrict non-essential apps from running in the background. Some phones allow you to see which apps are consuming the most battery life, allowing you to adjust their usage or uninstall apps you no longer need.

6. Update software regularly

Smartphone manufacturers release regular updates not only to add new features, but also to optimise device performance, including battery life. Keeping your phone up to date ensures that you are using the latest software enhancements, which can help reduce power consumption and fix battery-related issues. However, be sure to perform these updates when you have sufficient battery life or while the phone is connected to a charger.

7. Controls screen brightness and idle time

The display is one of the main sources of battery consumption in a smartphone. Keeping the brightness on full brightness for long periods of time quickly drains the charge. Adjust the screen brightness to a level that is comfortable for you, or use auto-brightness to let the phone adjust according to ambient light conditions. Also, reduce idle time or ‘auto-lock’ so the screen turns off faster when you're not using the phone.

8. Avoid intensive use of heavy applications.

Apps such as high-resolution games, video editors and live streaming consume a lot of power. While it's understandable if you use them for work or entertainment, it's wise to moderate their use if you need your smartphone's battery to last longer. Also, it's always a good idea to close these apps completely when you're not using them.

9. Use an external battery if necessary

Si tu trabajo requiere un uso intensivo del smartphone durante el día, considera invertir en una batería externa o power bank de calidad. Estos dispositivos son prácticos para recargar tu móvil cuando no tienes acceso a una toma de corriente, asegurando que nunca te quedes sin batería en medio de una tarea importante.

Conclusion

Extending the battery life of your smartphone not only improves daily productivity, but also reduces wear and tear on your device, allowing it to perform optimally for longer. From CellularB2B, we recommend following these tips to ensure your smartphone remains a reliable tool in your work and personal life. Keep your battery healthy and your phone always ready for what you need.
