The  mobile battery is one of the main concerns of the users of these devices. Running out of charge when it is most needed can be a big problem, so in addition to opting for devices that offer good autonomy, it is also in our power to  take care of the batteries to avoid their early degradation.

We give you four very practical tips that will help you better understand how these elements work and how to take better care of them.

Put it to charge before it runs out:

A fairly common mistake we make with batteries is waiting for the red indicator to appear before putting it to charge and leaving it at 100%. Ideally, the devices should move between 30% and 80% charge. In fact, many manufacturers are already incorporating a smart charging technology that prevents, if we put them to charge at night, they stay at 100% for many hours and only charge up to 80% for several hours.

Keep it out of the heat:

Heat is another of the enemies of batteries. Do not put them directly in the sun (for example, on the beach or while driving) and of course never over a direct source of heat, such as the oven or a fireplace.

Don’t use it while charging:

Do you know what the parasitic load is? This is a process by which the battery charges as it discharges. This happens when we start to play or watch videos while we have it charging. This has an impact on the charging cycles of your mobile and damages the battery.

Better short charge cycles:

Returning to the topic of charge cycles, it is preferable that lithium batteries are charged in short periods. Battery manufacturer Anker recommends making four 25% battery charges instead of a single 100% charge.
