Hello everyone, today I will talk to you about a very important topic that affects us all: how to maintain your device’s battery. We all depend on our electronic devices in our daily lives, whether it is a smartphone, a laptop, or even a tablet. But over time, we may notice that the battery life starts to decrease, which makes us feel frustrated. So, I will share with you the best ways to maintain your device’s battery for as long as possible.

1-Understanding battery capacity

The first step to maintaining your device’s battery is to understand its capacity and how it works. Did you know that battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh) or watt-hours (Wh)? The higher the battery capacity, the longer you can use your device between charges. Take a look at your device’s settings to see what your battery capacity is, and make sure to check it regularly.

2- Avoid overcharging.

Did you know that overcharging can be harmful to your device’s battery? When you charge your device to 100% frequently, it can cause battery degradation in the long run. So, try to unplug the charger when the battery reaches around 80-90%. If your device supports smart charging, use it to ensure that you don’t exceed a certain percentage of charge.

3- Use the original charger.

It is very important to use the original charger that came with your device. Unauthorized chargers can damage the battery, as they may provide unstable current. So, always make sure to use the charger that came with your device, as it is specifically designed for it to ensure safety and efficiency.

4- Avoid high temperatures.

Climate has a significant impact on your device’s battery. High temperatures can degrade battery chemistry, while low temperatures can cause it to lose power more quickly. So, be careful not to leave your device in direct sunlight or in your car during hot weather.

5-Application Management

Background apps may be draining your device’s battery. Have you ever noticed that your battery drains quickly for no apparent reason? Visit your battery settings and find out which apps are using the most. Turn off apps you don’t need or use the option to stop background apps.

6- Reduce screen brightness

Screen brightness is one of the biggest factors affecting battery life. So, it’s a good idea to set your screen brightness to a comfortable level, or use the auto-brightness option that adjusts the brightness according to the ambient light. Don’t forget to enable “Power Saving” mode to reduce brightness and reduce overall power consumption.

7-Disable unnecessary features

Features like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and location can drain your battery significantly. If you don’t need them, turn them off. You can also disable notifications and automatic app updates, which can help significantly reduce power consumption.

8-Update the system and applications

Don't forget to update your operating system and applications regularly. Updates often contain improvements in power management and fixes for bugs that affect power consumption. So, make sure your device is always on the latest version to benefit from these improvements.

9- Use power saving mode

Most devices offer a “Power Saving Mode” option, which helps extend battery life. When this mode is enabled, some unnecessary features are turned off, which helps preserve the battery for a longer period. Use it when you feel that your battery may be running low soon.

10-Keep the battery in good condition

Have you ever thought about taking care of your battery? It is a good idea to clean the charging points and make sure there is no rust or dust, which helps improve the battery performance. You can also use specialized applications to check the battery health and make sure it is in good condition.

11- Avoid using the device while charging.

It may be tempting to use your device while it’s charging, but doing so can negatively impact your device’s battery. When you use your device while it’s charging, it requires extra power, which can cause it to heat up. So, try to avoid using your device during these times.

12-Do a factory reset if needed.

If you notice that your device's battery is draining very quickly despite applying all the tips, you may want to consider performing a factory reset. This step may help get rid of malware or apps that are consuming excessive power. But make sure to back up your data before doing this.

13- Discharge the battery periodically.

Some experts recommend completely discharging the battery from time to time, then recharging it. This method can help recondition the battery and ensure it works better. But be careful not to do this too often, as completely discharging the battery can cause damage to it in the long run.

Fix persistent battery problems

Constant battery issues are a common problem faced by many smartphone users. If you are experiencing rapid battery drain or performance issues, there are simple steps you can take to resolve these issues.

1- Restart the phone: The first step you can take is to restart the phone. Often, restarting will correct minor errors that may affect battery performance. When you restart the device, applications running in the background are closed, giving the device a chance to start fresh.

2- Check for app updates: Updating apps regularly is an essential step to ensure good device performance. Outdated apps can contain bugs that lead to excessive power consumption. Go to the app store and check for available updates, and update the apps you use frequently.

3- Factory reset: If the battery problems persist, you may need to consider performing a factory reset. This step restores the device to its original state, removing any apps or settings that may be causing battery drain. Before doing this, make sure to back up your data, as you will lose all information stored on the device.

4- Check the apps you use: Make sure to review the apps that consume the most power through the battery settings. If you find unnecessary apps, remove or disable them. Some apps, such as maps or games, may consume a lot of power without you realizing it.

By following these steps, you can improve your device's battery performance and reduce persistent draining issues.
