Storing your phone for a long time. How to take proper care of your new mobile phone. There are endless reasons for this.

Modern life cannot be imagined without mobile phones, which have become an everyday attribute of every person. We will tell you how to extend the life of your phone.

1. Many cell phone owners completely ignore such a thing as a case. In truth, this is a very necessary thing. Do not forget that this rag thing is able to protect the phone from dirt, moisture and so on. In addition, the case is a very fashionable device that will look great on the device itself, especially for phones of the fairer sex.

2. Never lay your mobile device face down. This part of the phone is easily scratched, so its presence on the table surface is completely undesirable. If possible, place the phone on something soft. In this capacity, you can use a cover, a glove or an ordinary piece of paper.

3. One of the most common mistakes is the presence of a mobile phone in one pocket along with other things such as keys, coins, flash drives. These products can easily scratch the body of your device. Remember - the phone should be in your pocket without the presence of extraneous things.

4. Do not hesitate to purchase special pads in the salons of cellular communication, capable of cleaning the phone screen. Believe me, these gizmos can be very useful to you. At the same time, do not buy a variety of metal devices that can be hung on the phone, because they are also capable of scratching the case.

If you are an attentive and thrifty user, then you probably thought about how to properly charge the smartphone battery so as not to harm it. In fairness, we immediately note that the rules that we describe below are relevant for modern lithium-ion batteries, which are now installed on the vast majority of smartphones.

Avoid overheating and hypothermia

This is the first and most important rule that you should always follow. Overheating is detrimental both for the smartphone in general and for the battery in particular. Do not hold the charging smartphone under a pillow, do not leave it under the scorching rays of the summer sun and do not leave it in the car, try not to carry it in an external pocket during the cold season.
Now we are focusing on the safety and durability of the battery, but do not forget that an overheated battery can easily explode, which is also dangerous for its owner.

Do not chase one hundred percent charge

Despite the understandable desire of most users to keep the smartphone fully charged, this is harmful for the battery, as it is a “stressful” state that should not be maintained. If you are afraid that your smartphone will run out at the most inopportune moment, get an external battery, of which there are a great many on the market now. The following thesis also flows smoothly from this rule.

Charging your smartphone all night is harmful

Yes, we are aware that all modern charging units switch off as soon as the battery reaches 100% charge. Have you ever wondered what happens next? During the night, your device naturally loses some percentage of its charge, after which it recharges again. For the battery, as you already know, this is a stressful mode of operation, which makes it wear out faster. Modern smartphones charge quickly, one and a half to two hours from zero to maximum, so what's the point of running the battery all night? It is better to recharge it in the evening, before going to bed or during the morning getting ready for work / school.

Do not discharge the battery "to zero"

A full discharge harms the battery no less. In general, experts believe that the optimal charge for a modern smartphone is in the range of 40-80%. Nevertheless, about once a month it makes sense to arrange for your gadget such a workout: completely discharge and recharge. This will calibrate the charge indicator and get the latest battery charge information.

Use the supplied cable and charger

You can often come across the opinion that for full charging it is enough to use the “native” charging unit, and the wire can be any. This opinion is erroneous and to understand this one does not even need to go into the jungle of physical laws. Wires also have their own resistance characteristics and cannot be ignored. Using a "weak" wire, at best, you will slow down the battery charging time, and we will not stop about the danger of charging through low-quality blocks.

Fast charging should not be avoided

We have already discussed in detail about fast charging in a separate article, so we will not focus on this point again. Let us just remind you that it is safer to use a native unit for fast charging than a non-name Chinese thing taken from nowhere. Moreover, safety here concerns both the smartphone and the battery, and the user himself. Unfortunately, many users do not trust fast charges, believing that they wear out the battery faster. In fact, each manufacturer calculates in detail both the capabilities of their batteries and the estimated power of the unit, using special scenarios that charge not only quickly, but also sparingly.

How to store an unused smartphone?

You can often see a picture: an unused smartphone remains turned on, gathers dust quietly in a corner and slowly loses its battery power. Then it is completely discharged and continues to gather dust with an already empty battery. It's hard to think of a more disastrous scenario for an unused technique. How to store it correctly? First, in a forced off (and not from discharge) state. Secondly, the battery should be charged by about 50%, this will keep the battery capacity as long as possible and, if necessary, continue to use the device to its fullest.

What should be the first charge?

Here opinions differ even more than on the previous points. Ideally, first we discharge the smartphone to zero, then we charge it up to 100%, while we can measure the time it takes for this process. In the future, this indicator can tell you a lot of interesting things about whether there is battery degradation. After that, you should not repeat such manipulations.

Do I need to charge my smartphone when turned off or can I use it?

Sure you may. You shouldn't even listen to those who will say otherwise. The only reason it makes sense to turn off the device while charging is that you need to get the required battery charge as quickly as possible, but this is a rather radical way. Alternatively, you can simply turn off the wireless network for a while. But you should really refrain from running benchmarks and resource-intensive games. We have already described the reason above - overheating. During charging, the smartphone is already warmer than usual, and if this process also heats up the load on the chip, then the temperature rise can become dangerous at all.

Memory effect, battery calibration and other heresy

Despite the fact that it is 2018 in the yard, and lithium-ion batteries are massively installed in smartphones, on many resources you can find tips on battery calibration (sometimes completely contradictory), which - supposedly - should return the battery to its former capacity. It is assumed that the capacity was lost due to the "memory effect", the problem is that with modern batteries the memory effect does not have any noticeable effect, and training or calibration will not help here. As a small remark, we note that you can calibrate the charge indicator and this is done programmatically, and not with a primitive charge-discharge, and if this topic is of interest to our readers, we will return to it later. If you start to notice that your smartphone is charging and discharging much faster than it should, this is a really serious call. It makes sense to check the contacts and connector for dust, dirt and moisture, and if the smartphone is not separable, it is better to go with this to a service center.

That's all for us. As you can see, maintaining the health of your battery is not so difficult, it is enough to adhere to the golden mean, both in terms of charge and in relation to temperature. If, after reading, you still have questions on the topic, write them in the comments, we will be happy to answer.

For those who know physics. Spare batteries for mobile devices are best kept in the refrigerator, why?

Detente itself.

Many battery manufacturers recommend storing them at about 15 ° C or less, with a charge level of about 40%. A lower charge level should not be allowed to avoid potential damage to the battery due to deep discharge. The internal energy consumption of the battery is about 8%, which is why the same manufacturers recommend charging the stored battery up to 40% every six months or so.

The batteries of modern mobile devices, like humans, are designed to live a long time. If a person's life expectancy largely depends on the place of residence, diet, genetic characteristics and lifestyle, then in the case of batteries everything depends mainly on the discipline of the user.

Most modern mobile devices (telephones, smartphones, PDAs), cameras and power tools are powered by lithium batteries - lithium-ion or lithium-polymer. This technology has already been tested sufficiently to ensure high energy intensity and long service life.

Design features

Killing a lithium battery is as easy as ensuring its longevity. There are several features of the lithium battery device that must be kept in mind and which the user cannot influence in any way.

Firstly, the battery must be in good shape throughout its life - the voltage output must not exceed a certain value and fall below the threshold specified by the manufacturer, which corresponds to the maximum and minimum charge level.

The battery will last the longest if the charge is maintained at 45%. Any positive or negative fluctuations will shorten the service life.

Battery charge level is generally controlled by two devices: the battery controller and the mobile device controller.

Do's and Don'ts

If the user does not want to regularly invest in the purchase of a new lithium battery for his phone, smartphone, PDA or digital SLR camera, do not discharge the battery to zero to experimentally find out how long the device can last on a single charge. If the automatics of the device itself cut off the power, you need to get to the outlet as soon as possible.

Lithium batteries love frequent recharging, and you don't have to wait until fully charged.

Contrary to the saying, oil porridge can be very spoiled - overcharging harms a lithium battery in the same way as a complete discharge. For this reason, charge lithium batteries at room temperature. At a low positive temperature, close to zero Celsius, the battery will not pick up full power, and at an elevated temperature, overcharging may occur. For the same reason, the strong heating of lithium batteries and their freezing should not be allowed.

This type of battery does not like frost very much. If completely frozen, the lithium battery will need to be replaced. If you have to work in cold temperatures, it is recommended to have several batteries, keep them warm and periodically swap them. Lithium batteries lose their capacity not only in cold weather, but also in conditions of low atmospheric pressure (in the mountains, on board an aircraft). This does not harm the health of the battery, but it will not hurt the user to know about it.

How to charge

There are two ways to charge mobile devices with lithium power sources: using a standard charger and using a USB connection to a computer. USB connection in this case is a half-measure, especially if the battery is heavily discharged. Full charging is only possible with a charger that matches the battery capacity. If you replace the original battery with another with a higher capacity and use a standard charger for recharging, unstable operation of the mobile device may occur with deterioration in performance and frequent disconnections. The problem will be solved by buying a new charger to match a more powerful battery.

Newly purchased lithium batteries do not need an initiation rite as nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries, which require several charge-discharge cycles to enter passport mode.

Li-ion batteries stay fresh longer when stored at 15 ° C with a 40% charge.

Acquaintance with this article and study of the manual will help the consumer to use mobile devices as efficiently as possible and not spend extra money on buying expensive
batteries.

probably not to sour

The body does not fall apart when dropped
- less space
- the material can be made as one whole and not several parts
- there is no backlash in the hand when you hold the phone in your hand
- protection from the fool. whatever the user does with the schemes

i have a phone where the battery has not been pulled out for a year. really problems 0.

It depends on what you need. It's just that a diesel engine has a lot more starting current (amperes) than gasoline.
There are chargers, starting-chargers and chargers-autonomous devices
Also, not all chargers are suitable for gel batteries.
If there is an opportunity to buy a start-up charger, you can't guess.

nea, zato babuwka xronit !! :)

Edison? He came up with a piece of paper for sweets.

At room temperature or in the freezer, but not in the refrigerator.
There are two main reasons why bread turns stale:
- chemical changes - "starch degradation".
- loss of moisture due to contact with ambient air.

Storing bread in the refrigerator
At low temperatures (such as in a refrigerator), "starch degradation" occurs even faster. Therefore, you shouldn't keep it in the refrigerator. This does not keep it fresh, but slows down the process of mold formation.

Storing bread in the freezer
A great solution to keep bread in the freezer. The very low freezer temperatures prevent "starch degradation" to keep the bread fresh. It is best to freeze freshly baked bread that has just cooled down and eat it immediately after defrosting.

Storing bread at room temperature
The room temperature is considered ideal for storing bread, while the ambient air allows it to dry naturally.

Now such bread that only this is what saves from mold one chemistry now and not bread

i have a refrigerator, bring it to me, but I am not responsible for the safety

Modern rechargeable batteries installed in our mobile devices are very durable and designed for a long service life. In order to make the service life the longest and safest, be sure to take it into service and follow the following simple recommendations:

1. Once a month, be sure to completely discharge and charge the device battery. This procedure is called calibration. Although modern Li-ion batteries are practically not subject to the "memory effect", such an operation is simply necessary for their long service!

2. Try not to let your device run on low battery power. The fact is that each storage battery has its own safe voltage limit (about 3V), operation on which can damage the cells. therefore charge the device when 15-20% charge remains.

3. To avoid trouble, never store the device with a fully discharged battery.

If you are not going to use it for a long time, then make sure that the battery has at least a small charge. Fully charge the battery before using the device again.

4. Avoid frequent full discharges of the device battery! A complete discharge of the battery is only needed before starting operation to calibrate the control system. Forced disconnection of the phone affects the battery life not for the better. Do not be afraid of "unplanned" exercises. Do them more often.

5. Do not overcharge the battery. Those. in other words, do not leave the device charging overnight. This will shorten the battery life.

6. If possible, observe the temperature regime when charging and working with the device. Avoid high (above 35 C) and low (below 0 C) temperatures. Battery performance in an unfavorable range will accelerate its wear. The optimum temperature for work and charging will be room temperature (21 - 22 C). The worst case scenario is to operate with a fully charged battery at elevated temperatures and in direct sunlight. In this case, the temperature inside the device seriously increases, which does not have the best effect on all its elements, incl. Battery.

7. Remove all cases from your device before charging... They impede its natural ventilation, which increases the risk of malfunctions.

8. When charging the device, if possible, turn off WiFi, various services and services, cellular data, push, in general, everything that actively loads your battery. In this case, charging will take place faster, and the heat release, with all the consequences, will be less.

Here we will raise one extraordinary topic that many do not even think about. Imagine leaving your iPhone for long-term storage. It's not easy to do it - at least we wouldn't recommend it.

It so happened, the iPhone was not needed

Not so long ago, I had an iPhone 5s and an iPhone 6 in my hands, which were not in demand among me and those close to me.

Today there is no sane price for them, so I don't see much sense in selling. I think, leave for work purposes, but such will appear approximately in a year and a half.

I put them in the boxes and stuffed them into the back drawer. But then I decided to study the issue - I will share the results below.

There are endless reasons for this.

First, let's see why you might need this information at all.

First of all, you decided to sell the device, and the process runs the risk of being delayed.

Secondly, you may need a second number, but not today, but in a few months.

Thirdly, you have decided to keep your old iPhone as a mobile modem for distributing the Internet, but this is not so often needed.

Fourth, some of you definitely do not sell old Apple smartphones, but collect.

And this is just the first thing that came to my mind. There can be an infinite number of options.

You can't just store it in a closet

Most iPhone parts have virtually no expiration date. Therefore, they do not deteriorate over time.

But the smartphone battery, which is made using lithium-ion technology, is quite whimsical to environmental conditions and charge level.

If the conditions of long-term storage are not suitable for him, he inevitably loses in capacity - and significantly. Therefore, this article was born.

To keep your mobile device battery working for as long as possible, you need to follow a few simple rules. We came to them after studying the official Apple recommendations and communicating with service center specialists.

There are several important facts to consider:

• Keep charged. If the iPhone is completely discharged, it will go into a deep discharge state and lose its ability to hold a charge. The opposite situation is no better - in a full charge it also loses in capacity and service life. Optimum is about 50%.
• Keep disconnected. This way you avoid the need for frequent recharging and capacity degradation by increasing the number of recharge cycles. By the way, after 500, the iPhone battery is already advised to change.
• Find coolness. The maximum temperature plug for iPhone is -20 to + 45 ° C. Comfortable conditions - from 0 to + 35 ° C. Recommended - 10 to 25 ° C. Therefore, the window sill will not be the best place for storage in summer, the temperature will surely kill the battery.
• Recharge every six months. Even in the off state, the device will definitely be discharged. Therefore, charge your smartphone up to 50% every six months.

It turned out that not all of this is so simple

Even if all the conditions that I described above are met, the battery will still become unusable. But noticeably slower.

Moreover, after long-term storage, you may not turn on the iPhone at all the first time. Sometimes it will take him up to 20 minutes connected to the network to bounce back.

As a result, it is not so difficult to minimize the loss of battery capacity to a minimum, you just need to be confused a little. But in six months or a year, the box will contain almost the same device that you put there.
