Because more and more of us use a mobile phone instead of a landline at home, these mobile devices we are provided with lithium batteries that require some maintenance throughout their use.

Method 1 of 3: Increase life between recharges
1
Turn off your phone. This will certainly be the most effective and simple way to keep the energy of your battery. Why ? This will help you conserve energy also charge your phone. If you do not intend to answer the phone while sleeping or after business hours, simply turn off your phone. Do the same when you are in an area not covered (as in the subway or in a poorly covered area, since the constant search qu'effectuera your phone to find a correct issuer considerably discharge your battery). Some phones have a special feature enabling them to save energy, but it will work only after thirty minutes. Meanwhile, a lot of energy from your battery has been used. If you do not need to make or receive calls, and you use a Smartphone phone type, switch to airplane mode.

Stop looking for a signal. If you are in a poorly covered area or no signal, your phone permanently researcher a better connection, and it will consume all the energy of your phone. This remark quickly when you forget to turn off your phone during a flight. The best way to ensure a long lifetime of your battery is to make sure you also have a good signal quality where you use your phone. At home, if you do not have a high quality signal, obtain a signal repeater that will serve as amplifier; so you will have an excellent signal quality wherever you are.
3
Do not follow the method of full charge and full discharge. Avoid leaving the battery in your cell phone fully discharge. Unlike nickel-based batteries (such as rechargeable AA batteries, NiCd or NiMH, available in most supermarkets), lithium batteries are designed to be recharged before they are fully discharged can also be recharged more often. Let them completely discharge can damage the battery. With lithium batteries, low levels of discharge and frequent charging extends the battery life.
4
Stop your phone vibrate function, use only the ringing. The vibrator uses more energy from your phone. Try to keep the volume of the ringer as low as possible.
5
Turn off the backlight on your phone. Lighting your phone allows it to be clearer in conditions of strong or outdoor lighting. However, this light also uses the energy of your battery. If you can do without it, your battery will last longer. If you need to use the backlight, many phones allow you to set the time of use. Generally, a few seconds will be sufficient. Some phones have an ambient light sensor, which will turn off the backlight in sufficient lighting conditions, and turn on when it's darker.
6
Avoid using features that are not needed. If you know that you will not be able to change your phone for a little while, do not use the camera or do not log on to the Internet. The flash of the camera can consume a lot of energy very quickly.
7
Be satisfied with short calls. It's obvious, but how many times have we not heard you tell someone "I think my battery is flat" and keep talking for several minutes? Sometimes a discharged battery is only an excuse to end a call (it is indeed a very good excuse!), But if you really need to conserve your battery, limit your time speech.
8
Turn off Bluetooth. It consumes your battery very quickly.
9
The same advice goes for WiFi, GPS and infrared connection if your phone has its characteristics. Keep them off unless you need them to conserve your energy.
10
Lower the display brightness to the lowest possible level.
11
Using the GSM mode rather than 3G. Using your phone mode 3G / GSM consume more battery than if you were only in GSM mode. Look in the features of your phone and you find that you have information about the life of the battery very different - typically 50% difference compared to using only GSM mode.
12
With a smartphone, avoid using an animated or video wallpaper. The animated wallpapers consume your battery faster.
13
Use a black screen if possible. AMOLED type screens use less energy clearly with a black background rather than a white background. When using the Internet browser, use Blackl [1] which uses a black screen background for Google instead of a white background.
