Interesting facts about the smartphone battery, developing myths

In this article we have collected all the interesting and useful facts of battery life that will dispel many myths in society. Below you will find out that you do not need to charge up to 100%, you can use third-party chargers for charging, but sometimes it's useful to completely discharge the battery and reboot the gadget.

Full charge

Many advise to always charge the battery to 100%, but it is better not to do this.

Modern smart phones are so voracious that by the end of the day they are almost completely discharged, and to fill the spent charge you need a lot of time. That's why we put our gadget on charge at night. However, in order to maximally extend the life of your battery, you must constantly maintain its charge at the level of 40 - 80% , trying not to allow this value to be exceeded or decreased.   

Charge after 100%

Experts have established the fact that on many modern smartphones, the battery charge continues even after the message of full charge.

For the sake of interest, make an experiment. For the first time, charge the smartphone battery before the first message of full charge. Run the application or call someone and fix, after what time the charge will reach 99%, and then 90%.The second time, continue to charge the battery after the message of its full charge for another 2-3 hours. Repeat the same action you did last time and see how much the battery charge goes down to the control points of 99% and 90% of the charge. You will see that in the second case, the battery keeps the charge much longer.   

This fact confirms that the after displaying the level of 100% in the display, the charger continues to charge the battery , as it remains warm.

Running the battery

With the advent of lithium-ion batteries "runs", runs of new batteries were no longer necessary, but many in the old fashion still do it until now. Do I need to do this?

Previously, a new battery of the phone recommended to drive: fully discharged and charged for 15 hours, and so for 3 cycles. This concerned old nickel batteries, which were very unreliable: they were quickly discharged and became unusable during a short period of operation.

Modern lithium-ion batteries still need to be driven, for the first time , in order to thus calibrate the battery, and charge it with a new charge. Along with this, once a month, it is recommended to completely discharge the phone's battery and charge it to the maximum. This is done for the same calibration.

Branded chargers

It is also believed that charging the battery of phones can only use branded chargers.

Actually it is a myth of pure water. Yes, chargers from the manufacturer's manufacturer have better quality than third-party , besides they are completely adapted for the batteries of their phones, in particular the current of the charge.

But this does not mean that third-party chargers are bad and are not recommended for use. The main thing is not to save on buying, because it's silly of cheap chargers to wait for quality work. If you choose a third-party charger, you need to focus on the current of the charge and that its connector is suitable for the phone.

Turn off smartphones

Another opinion that can be deducted from the forums, that it is highly recommended that smartphones be turned off - this opinion is mistaken.

Switch off the smartphone is recommended when the battery is overheated, so that it quickly cools down. In general, thanks to the reboot, new and updated parameters will come into full force, the device will reset all old processes, and only the necessary ones will be launched, and also the SIM card will re-register on the network. It is advisable to restart the phone every 2-3 weeks.

It is worth noting the fact that the independent disconnection of the smartphone because of a discharged battery is better not to allow, especially on devices running the mobile operating system Android.
