 Here's a Charging Trick That Makes Phone Batteries Last Longer


The more often you use it, the weaker the battery's ability to maintain its power. Sometimes, this situation creates problems. For example, when a smartphone or laptop is turned off when it is needed. Well, the battery life of an electronic item can be explained scientifically. Lithium-ion battery life is generally 500 cycles (about one and a half years). This battery cycle is measured by one full charge from 0-100 percent. "So the more full cycles the phone goes through, the sooner we have to replace it." So explains Liz Hamilton, Director of People and Customers at Mobile Clinic, a cell phone repair business based in Toronto, Canada. Get information, inspiration, and insights in your email. Register an email The limited battery life of cell phones and laptops is the result of a chemical reaction that creates a buildup of atoms when the device charges. According to technology experts, this is what will "kill" the battery of electronic devices. So, what should we do to make smartphone batteries last longer? According to Hamilton, we should not charge the battery fully to slow down the depletion of the cell phone battery life cycle.

"Lithium-ion battery life can be suppressed to the extreme. Because one of the main problems that make cell phone battery life decline is charging more than 100 percent," said Hamilton. "Many people have this habit, and don't realize the damage it does to their cell phone battery," he added. So the solution, don't let the phone battery completely drain to zero. Then, while charging, leave it only to about 85 percent charge, and unplug it. Keep in mind, if we want to charge the battery, don't leave the device connected to the charger. Because doing it continuously can cause the phone battery to age faster in the long run. Also read: Stop the habit of charging cellphone batteries in cars. In addition, Hamilton also recommends lowering the screen brightness, disabling unused features such as certain locations, applications, and notifications. Not only that, using low power mode can extend the battery life of the phone. Indeed, our bodies will not be harmed if we leave the phone connected to the charger overnight. However, by following the method above, the phone battery will last longer, automatically making money last longer, because there is no need to replace the battery or cellphone.


Turn off the car's air conditioner to make the engine power more maximal <Really?


The latest cars are equipped with comfort features such as air conditioning or air conditioning. However, AC is often accused of being the cause of the slow engine power of the car. Sometimes people are willing to turn off the AC to get maximum performance, especially on uphill roads. Is by turning off the AC engine power is greater?

Quoted from the official Mitsubishi Motors website, in general, there is no influence and relationship between turning off the AC and the car's performance. Modern vehicles that generally use computer systems already have their program or algorithm that adapts to actual driving conditions based on data from sensors in the vehicle. Indeed, the AC component will make the engine work a little harder, but with the computerization that regulates driving conditions based on sensors, the car can still accelerate according to its capabilities and road conditions. the driver in master the terrain and drive his car. You must understand the driving technique so that the car's performance remains optimal. For example, with an automatic transmission car, the driver must know when it is the right time to move the transmission lever to the "2" or "L" position. Positions 2 and L are to provide extra power when riding on a steep hill, as well as for engine braking or engine brake when on a rather steep downhill road.

As for cars with manual transmissions, the operation is a little more tricky because you have to balance the clutch and gas pedals when shifting gears to a lower position. In addition, the driver must also know the right momentum so that the car does not lose traction when on a steep incline.
