How To Increase The Life Of A Cell Phone Battery?
First let’s see what cell phone batteries were made from. They are made of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) because this material is light in weight and can be recharged. This type of battery is completely different than alkaline batteries which are used in normal devices like toys, head-light, and hand radio. Li-Ion batteries are very sensitive and you must avoid dropping the cell phone, as it damages the cell phone and battery.
You may have recently heard some news about incidents happened while recharging a cell phone battery such as short circuit and fire. This shows the importance of maintaining a cell phone and its battery.
Followings are some points and tips on how to increase the life of your cell phone battery and its usage.
- You should not keep your cell phone next to heat as it damages the battery.
- Be careful not to drop the phone as it heavily damages your phone as well as its battery. If your phone drops and you see functional problem, then immediately take your phone to a service center.
- Do not overcharge the cell phone, it might cause short circuit.

Excellent tips here however, at the end of the day until battery tech improves this will always be the most frustrating part of owning gadgets. I feel sorry for all those iphone/ipod users that cant even get new batts without having to either service the phone or open it up. Maybe they can use these tips?
Keeping batteries alive for a long time is really a difficult task and we have to care about a lot of stuff. My batteries always go bad by overcharging. Mostly I put them on recharge panel in night and then I always forget to unplug them. I think overcharge is my basic damaging issue.
