Cell phones usually use lithium-ion batteries. This type of device can be identified by the Li-ion mark on the case. When using such a battery, you should adhere to some rules that will help it last longer, and you - to save money.
Instructions
Step 1
Start using your device immediately after purchase: lithium-ion batteries are sold partially charged.
Step 2
Try to charge the battery more often. On average, the device is designed for 350-450 charging cycles. However, the battery life will increase if you connect the battery to a power source without waiting for the battery to "drain" completely. Please note that frequent discharging to zero threshold is not recommended.
Step 3
Allow the battery to discharge completely once every few months. This is necessary for the correct functioning of the microcircuit that controls the state of the device.
Step 4
In the event that the battery powered from the mains did not have time to fully charge, and you needed to disconnect it for any reason, do it without fear of damaging the battery. Leaving the device connected to a power source after it is fully charged will also not adversely affect its performance.
Step 5
Do not purchase a spare battery. The capacity of an unused battery may decrease during storage.
Step 6
If it becomes necessary to "conserve" the battery for a while, store it partially charged. A discharged battery after long-term storage may not turn on. Place the battery in the refrigerator for the "idle" period, so it will better retain its properties. This is because battery power is consumed more intensively at high ambient temperatures than at low temperatures, even when the device is powered off.
Step 7
Never charge the battery in temperatures below freezing. After several cycles of such charging, the device will most likely become unusable. Also, beware of overheating the battery, do not keep it in close proximity to sources of heat. The optimum temperature for a lithium-ion battery is 19-35 degrees Celsius.
