Maximizing Your Phone’s Battery Life
Share
A healthy battery keeps your phone running and boosts its resale value. With proper care, you can slow degradation—here’s how.
Temperature Control: Heat kills batteries—avoid leaving your phone in a hot car or under direct sun. Cold slows it too, so keep it at room temp (20-25°C). Charging Habits: Don’t let it drop below 20% or stay at 100% too long; aim for 20-80% cycles. Fast chargers are fine occasionally, but trickle charging overnight is gentler. Power Settings: Use battery-saving modes—iOS’s Low Power Mode or Android’s Battery Saver—to cut background drain.
Apps like AccuBattery track health, showing capacity loss over time. Most batteries last 2-3 years before dropping below 80% efficiency. If yours is fading, a $50-$100 replacement can revive it. Fixsellr can do this and sell your phone, splitting 85% of the profit—turning a $200 phone into a $350 sale nets you $246.25.
Daily Tips:
- Dim your screen brightness.
- Close unused apps.
- Disable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when idle.
Good battery care saves hassle and money. If it’s time to move on, consign with Fixsellr for a better return.
