Nothing lasts forever – we all know that! Especially when it comes to today’s technology, those indispensable gadgets unfortunately don’t last forever.
Smartphones are no longer durable!
Back in the good old days we used to have mobile phones that could last up to 7 days without charging….and they would get the job done!
Now, even the best smartphones with the highest quality start to decline, and it is more noticeable with the battery.
The battery ends up not holding enough charge and doesn’t last with us through a hectic work day. We know it gets very frustrating.
So, you end up being required to either chain yourself to a charger, or carrying a power bank with you wherever you go! Sounds like a relatable experience, right?
So, what causes damage to batteries?
Let us walk you through the causes of phone battery damage. You may be surprised and may not notice how these things shorten your battery’s life!
- Extreme temperature
Your phone’s battery is at a high risk of dying if it’s in a place where the temperature is very low or very high!
We know that you can’t control the weather, but you better take care! The perfect temperature for our phone’s battery is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F).
Smartphones now are designed to turn off when the temperature is not appropriate to use, and that can keep your phone safe from damage as well as give you a sign that your phone is not at optimum temperature.
- Chargers
This is one of the most common reasons, and yes chargers can murder your phone’s battery.
If you are not using the charger that came with your mobile phone from the beginning or you are using a low-quality one, the chances are that your phone’s battery is not going to last too long.
- Brightness
Many adults increase their phone’s brightness to an extent that can cause blindness! Screens consume most of the phone’s battery !
We are not saying to dull your screens, but keep the brightness level normal, neither too high nor too low!
- Leaving the phone to charge for a long time
One of the things we don’t notice as users is that we leave our phones in the charger for so long even after it’s fully charged at 100%.
This harms your battery; as the battery will drop to 99% and start charging again. This often happens overnight when we are sleeping because we don’t unplug our phones and leave them until morning.
However, you may ask how many hours should the battery last?
Believe it or not, 24 hours, your phone’s battery should last a whole day without charging, other than that the battery is probably not in good health!
5 Reasons why your phone’s battery needs to be changed!
- When the battery struggles to hold enough charge
One of the prominent reasons why your battery needs to be changed is when the battery loses charge faster than usual.
For instance, if your phone’s battery use to sustain up to 10 hours of screen time, and now it stays to 5 hours only, this is a sign that it needs to be changed immediately!
Or if the battery decreases drastically, for example, dropping to 10% after you charge it, this is the battery’s way of telling you that it needs to be changed.
- When your phone doesn’t fully charge
We expect smartphones to charge fully within a few hours depending on the battery capacity and tech speed.
However, if your phone takes forever to get fully charged; the battery needs to be changed.
- Awkward-shaped phone!
Has your phone ever formed a weird shape or began to swell? Then, the battery needs to be changed immediately.
If you notice that the size or shape of your phone isn’t the way it was before, remove the cover to check its shape.
If that’s the case, then the battery is facing a major swelling problem, and this is a sign of a really bad battery.
Henceforth, you need to stop using the phone and replace the battery as soon as possible.
- Increase in temperature
If you notice that your phone is hotter than usual while using it or not, this means the battery is dying and needs to be changed!
You probably can’t tell if your phone has a high temperature or not, especially when you spend so much time using it; however, you can differentiate between normal temperature and high temperature, and when it happens you need to change the battery.
- Constantly charged
If you find yourself charging your phone several times a day, that means that the battery needs a replacement!
