Heat is a major cause of degraded and short-lived batteries. In fact, temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius cause the chemical bonds between the lithium ions to deteriorate quickly and break, thus limiting the battery’s charging capacity. The production of heat, however, is also one of the “secondary effects” of recharging the batteries: in short, the…

Despite efforts in this direction, there is no single and unambiguous indication of whether you can keep your computer constantly charged while working or playing. In fact, each manufacturer provides more or less different indications on the behavior to be followed: some state that it is not necessary to remove the battery even once it…

Like all batteries, lithium-ion cells age and degrade over time and with use. To prolong battery life and performance, try keeping the battery level between 20% and 80% several times a week instead of using the device for a short time and then plugging it in to recharge the battery. If your device supports smart…

When the battery capacity is lower, the battery cannot be charged as soon as it was last. As a result, battery life may be shortened and you will need to recharge the battery more frequently.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used battery type in today’s mobile devices, including laptops and tablets. These batteries charge quickly, discharge at a constant rate, and have a high energy density that allows for small cell sizes in batteries. By understanding Li-ion batteries a bit, you can optimize the battery life and overall battery…

First of all, I need to explain to you how a smartphone battery works. This way, you will better understand why it allows your phones to last longer. The explanations are a little scientific, but nothing very complicated in reality. The batteries of our smartphones work with so-called Lithium-ion. When the battery is charged, lithium…

This little trick will not be revolutionary but will save your battery a few minutes of life. The “energy saving” mode, which can be activated in the settings, makes it possible to restrict certain functionalities of the phone, such as the use of Bluetooth or GPS when the screen goes to sleep. It can also…

The battery of our phone does not appreciate the low temperatures of winter. It works by a chemical reaction that creates a flow of electrons. The colder it is, the slower this reaction. The cold also leads to an increase in resistance and therefore a decrease in tension. Result: the laptop thinks that the battery…

A wireless connection uses less battery power than cellular data, Apple says. It is also an opportunity to make a gesture for the planet because Wi-Fi consumes 23 times less energy than 4G, according to a study published in 2012 by the University of Michigan (United States) and from the American mobile operator AT&T.

While it won’t save much power, turning off its Location Services may help, Apple suggests. Likewise for Bluetooth, WiFi or mobile data if they are not used. In general, switching to “airplane mode,” i.e. cutting off all connections, saves an additional 30 minutes to watch a downloaded video on an iPhone, according to tests conducted…
