Lithium or lithium-ion batteries are most commonly found in modern cell phones. As a rule, such a battery allows you to increase the operating time without recharging the phone.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have just purchased a mobile device equipped with a lithium battery and want to maximize its lifespan, first read the technical data sheet of the device and the recommendations for using and charging it. As a rule, for each model of phone or portable player there is a fixed time during which the battery takes a full charge. If for some reason you cannot follow the manufacturer's recommendation, adhere to the following general rules for using lithium batteries.
Step 2
To ensure the long-term operation of the battery, it should be "pumped", that is, to increase its operation due to a series of maximum charging and discharging. Insert the battery into your device. If there is still a charge in the battery, it is recommended to “plant” it, having achieved a complete shutdown of the device. Turn on as many apps as possible to make your phone use up battery power faster. Pretty soon the battery will run out and the phone will turn off. After that, the switched off phone or player should be charged to the network using only the factory charger, which guarantees the safe operation of the device.
Step 3
Typically, lithium batteries are charged to their limit in a few hours. However, the first charge should be at least 12 hours, and it is advisable not to interrupt it and not to pull the charger out of the socket.
Step 4
After 12 hours of charging, start using your electronic device. Do not charge it until the phone turns itself off due to a dead battery. When starting to use a lithium battery, you must carry out at least three full charges and discharges to "overclock" the battery. Then you can use the device as usual and charge it as needed. "Pumped-over" lithium batteries do not require one hundred percent charging or discharging.
