A weak battery can turn a great phone into a daily frustration. Whether you’re constantly reaching for a charger or watching your percentage drop too quickly, there are several easy ways to extend your phone’s battery life and keep it running longer throughout the day.
Your phone’s screen is one of the biggest battery drainers.
Set your brightness to auto or keep it as low as comfortably possible. If you’re indoors or in low light, turn it down manually.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and even vibration use battery power in the background.
If you’re not using them, turn them off from your quick settings menu.
Both Android and iPhones have built-in battery saver modes.
These limit background activity and reduce performance slightly to conserve power when you need it most.
Some apps keep running in the background, constantly refreshing or tracking your location.
Go to your battery settings to see which apps are using the most power and close or uninstall the unnecessary ones.
Heat and cold can shorten your battery’s lifespan permanently.
Don’t leave your phone in a hot car or outside in freezing temps.
Letting your battery fully drain often can shorten its life over time.
Try to keep it between 20% and 80% for the best long-term performance.
If your phone dies quickly even after following these tips, your battery may be degraded. Most phone batteries start losing capacity after about 2–3 years of use.
