How long should I charge a new phone to increase battery life?

How long should a newly purchased phone be charged is always the question that users are most concerned about, to ensure proper battery charging and prolong battery life. If you do not know how to charge a newly purchased phone, follow the article below to learn how to charge the battery properly.

How long should I charge my new phone?

Technology experts say that when you first buy a phone and use it for the first time, you should use up all the available battery until the phone shows low battery (usually below 20%) then charge the phone. Do not charge it immediately after buying it and do not let the battery drain to 0% when using the phone for the first time.

During the first 3 to 5 times of using the device, you should charge the battery until it is 100%, then wait another 5 minutes and unplug the charger from the outlet. After that, you use it until the device shows a low battery before continuing to charge. After the first 5 charges, the user can use it comfortably. However, you should avoid charging the phone while using it, charging overnight or letting the battery run out before charging, because this will affect the battery life.

Many Vietnamese smartphone users still have the concept of "full charge, full discharge" and often keep the habit of charging for 8 hours for the first 3 times when buying a phone. This concept is only useful for phones that still use Nickel batteries with "memory effect", but with current phone lines that use Li-ion or Li-Po batteries, "full charge - full discharge" is even harmful to battery life.

Charging your phone overnight, charging it to 100% and keeping it charged continuously will have a negative impact on the battery because the chemical components in the battery will change, becoming less effective in storing energy.

Tips to increase phone battery life

- You should charge immediately after the device reports low battery, avoid leaving the battery in a very low state, or power failure, because it will make it difficult for the battery to receive energy, leading to a longer charging time.

- Do not let the battery run out for a long time. This will cause the battery to stop charging.

- You should fully charge the battery and remove it from the device 1-2 weeks before deciding to let the phone rest.

- Besides, you should also set the screen brightness at medium level and should turn off the screen after about 10 to 15 seconds of not using the device. You need to turn off applications running in the background on the device such as games, applications and Wifi...

- Set the bell to low and vibrate lightly when not needed. In addition, you should set the wifi activation mode to manual, check the device and network regularly, weak network will emit stronger energy to re-scan the signal.
