Keeping your battery in great condition is not just about the latest technology – proper care is key. The following tips will help you get the most out of each charge and slow down the natural aging of the battery.

1. Maintain Proper Temperature

• Avoid overheating
  During charging or intensive use, the battery may generate heat. If your device is getting too hot, consider temporarily removing the case or moving it away from direct sunlight or other heat sources.
• Don’t let the battery freeze
  Extremely low temperatures temporarily reduce capacity and, in extreme cases, may damage the battery.

2. Charge Timely, Don’t Overcharge

• Optimal range: 20–80%
  If possible, avoid letting the battery drop to 0% or staying at 100% for extended periods. Regular charging within this mid-range best supports battery longevity.
• Don’t leave your device constantly plugged in
  Although modern batteries and power management limit the impact of overcharging, it's better to unplug the charger once the battery reaches a sufficient level.

3. Turn Off What You Don’t Need

• Wireless functions
  Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS can run in the background and consume power. Turn them off when not needed.
• Auto-brightness
  The screen is one of the biggest battery drainers. Set a lower brightness level or turn off auto-brightness if it’s too aggressive.

4. Watch Background Apps and Services

• Manage running apps
  Some apps keep running and unnecessarily drain power. Limit or close apps you’re not currently using.
• Software updates
  New versions of operating systems and apps often include energy-saving improvements. Keep your device updated.

5. Long-Term Storage

• Around 50% charge
  If you're not using the device for a while, store it with the battery charged to about half. This prevents deep discharge or unnecessary overcharging.
• Cool, dry place
  Ideal storage conditions include a stable, lower temperature. Avoid damp or overly warm locations.

6. Occasional Calibration

• When to calibrate
  If your battery indicator seems inaccurate (e.g., the device shuts down unexpectedly or runs too long at “0%”), you may need to calibrate the battery.
• How to calibrate
  1. Fully charge the battery to 100%.
  2. Use the device until it completely discharges and shuts down.
  3. Recharge to 100% without interruption.
     This process only needs to be done once every few months. Doing it too often is not recommended.

7. Use Accessories with Proper Specs

• Check voltage and current
  Every device has specific input requirements. If the charger matches those values, you're good to go.
• Safety standards
  Accessories should meet at least basic safety standards to ensure reliable charging and protection against short circuits or overheating.

Summary

1. Optimize charging – ideally keep the battery between 20–80%.
2. Mind the temperature – avoid extremes and let your device dissipate heat.
3. Limit unnecessary functions – turn off unused services and lower screen brightness.
4. Update software – newer versions often improve power management.
5. Store properly – if not using the device, store it at ~50% charge.
6. Calibrate occasionally – calibration helps restore accurate charge estimates and should be done only when needed.

By consistently following these practices, you can significantly extend your battery's lifespan and enjoy smoother daily operation with all your electronic devices.
