How To Get Maximum Mobile Battery Life And Backup by Nobody: 5:13am On May 16, 2013 |
The battery is the most important part of a phone and everyonehas a question that how to get maximum backup from battery. Its become a big headache if your battery not giving you proper backup. Phone batteries do need to be initialized properly to ensure a full life and best backup. New batteries shouldalways be fully charged before their first use to obtain maximum capacity. Mostly old batteries are basedon Nickel, like nickel cadmium batteries, and they should be charged for a minimum of 16 hours initially and should be run through 2-4 full charge/full discharge cycles. The mostly new batteries are lithium ion batteries and they required to be charged for about 5-6 hours, even if the phone says that the battery is full, it should be ignored as it may not be accurate unless the battery has been initialized. Lithium ion batteries should never fully discharge as their life is shortened everythey are fully discharged. Instead they should be charged when the battery meter shows that there is only one bar left |

Almost all cell phones these days come with Lithium-ion batteries, while older ones used to come with nickel-based batteries. To know this you can read the label on the back of the battery or the technical specifications that are present in the manual to find out which kind of battery is present in the phone. A well known problem with batteries is "memory effect" which onlyfound on Lithium-ion batteries. NiCdor NiMH do not generally suffer from the memory effect. If you end up charging the battery partially too many times, eventually the battery tends to "forget" that it has the ability to charge itself fully. A nickel-based battery which succumbs to the memory effect can be reconditioned, by completely discharging, and then completely recharging the battery. A good way to ensure optimum life for nickel- battery cell-phones is to discharge them completely after a period of two to three weeks. You should also use the charger that is rated for your battery, and should discontinue the use of a charger that regularly heating the battery. Battery Should Keep in Cool: Ifthe battery not in use for longdurations of time, you should put the battery in the freezer or fridge. The battery will last longest when used near room temperature, and it'll reduces battery life if exposure to high temperatures. You should avoid leaving phone in a hot car or in direct sunlight. Ifthere's no use of your phone battery for a while, you should disconnect it from the phone and store it in a cool place. For this refrigerator is good choice, and it should also be kept away from metal objects to reduce chances of oxidation. The battery is not exposed to moisture by keeping it in an airtight container or bag. Lithium-ion batteries are not designed to operate at refrigerated temperatures, so after removing from the fridge keep the battery outside the refrigerator for at least an hour before using it again so that it comes down to room temperature. Avoid storing Lithium-ion batteries at low voltage. Lithium ion batteries also tend to oxidize least when they are stored at about 40% charge. The contacts of battery tend to accumulate dirt and oxidationon the contact points after a period. |

The contacts of battery tend to accumulate dirt and oxidationon the contact points after a period. You need to clean contacts with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to efficiency of energy transfer to a maximum. In addition to that, if the contacts points are made of two different metals, such as gold or tin, accelerated corrosion can happen which is known as"galvanic or bi- metallic" oxidation. Removingthis type corrosion from the contacts may sometimes require the use of solvents, such as acetone or nail polish remover. If you follow above steps and precautions, you can get the maximum backup fromyour battery. |

Turn Bluetooth off when you do not need it. Specify that your Nokia phone does not scan, or scans less often, for available Wireless LAN (WLAN)networks in the backround when you do not need WLAN connections (to turn off scanning, disable Show WLANavailability in Wireless LAN settings). If you have set Packet data connection to When available in connection settings, and there is no packet data coverage (GPRS), your Nokia phone periodically tries to establish a packet data connection. To prolong the operating time of your Nokia phone, select Packet data connection > When needed. The Maps application downloads new map information when you scroll to new areas on the map, which increases the demand on battery power. Prevent the automatic download of new maps. If the signal strength ofthe cellular network varies much in your area, your Nokia phone must scan for the available network repeatedly. This increases the demand on battery power. If the Network mode is set to dual mode in the network settings, the Nokia phone searches for the UMTS network. To use only the GSM network, select Network mode > GSM. The backlight of the display increases the demand on battery power. In the display settings, you can change the time-out after which the backlight is switched off, and adjust the light sensor that observes lighting conditions and adjusts the display brightness. Leaving applications running in the background increases the demand on battery power. Close the applications you are not using. Turn off vibratefunction of your Nokia phone,using just the ring tone. Avoid using moving or animated pictures or videos for your Nokia phone's background. Turn off your Nokia phone whenever you do not plan to answer any calls, for example while you are sleeping. Make sure your phone is running the latest software . For downloads andassistance, go to your local Nokia website's support page. If the battery loses the power fast even though there is no features consuming the power, the battery may be wearing out and you need to replace it with a new one. |
