  • How to effectively extend the life of the phone's battery?

    Here are the tips.
    1. Do not discharge too much.
    Frequently doing so will reduce the life of the lithium battery.

    The ideal working environment of the phone is between 15°C and 35°C.
    3. Use the original charger to charge
    The original charger and data cable can ensure the stable output of voltage and current, where charging speed and safety are guaranteed. The charging and inferior chargers may have hidden safety hazards.
    It is best to use the phone's original loader and data cable to charge the phone.
    4. When charging, avoid using your phone as much as possible.
    5. When charging, it is best to use a thin phone case.
    The phone will generate heat when charging, so it is best to remove the case or choose a thin and light phone case when charging.
    6. Avoid excessive charging
    If the mobile phone is fully charged, the charger will be maintained in a full power state. This may cause battery deformation and the leakage of the fluid. The performance of the battery will also be significantly reduced and damaged.
    Do not exceed 12 hours continuous charging time. When the phone prompts are full, you should unplug the charger.
    If you are not using your phone for a long time, we recommend you shut down your phone at around 40-80% power. Store your phone in a cool and dry place and replenish it regularly.
