One of the most common repairs Phone Repair Ambulance sees is the need for cell phone battery repair. No one likes having to get a new battery in their phone, but there may be many ways to extend the life on your cell phone battery. Check out the list Phone Repair Ambulance compiled below, and let us know what you think.
1. Turn off Wifi when not using it
If you are not at home or near a wifi network you are using, go ahead and turn your phone’s wifi off so that you are not wasting unnecessary phone battery life.
2. Lower Light brightness
You may be using way more light on phone than necessary, and may never notice if you don’t check your phone light brightness.
3. Trim apps running in the background
When was the last time you cancelled out of all your applications that you weren’t using? Both iPhones and Android phones have the option of running multiple applications at one time, but when you have too many apps working it will lead in greater phone battery drain.
4. Use media or internet browsing sparingly
Although it may be great to have the whole season of “The Office” on your cell phone, it may be wiser for your battery’s sake to wait until you get home to watch it . Internet, music, and videos are among the top battery wasters, and too much activity for any of them will surely lead to faster battery life waste.
5. Don’t let your phone die too much
One of the most common reasons people require phone battery repair is that the owner of the phone allowed the phone to die too often. It is important to give your cell phone a good “stretch” and reach 100% battery life which will allow your phone to continue to be fully chargeable.
Contrary to popular belief, it does not waste a lot of energy to charge a phone. For an iPhone, your battery holds a charge of 1,440 mAh, or about 5.45 watt hours. If you fully drain and recharge your phone everyday, then over a year you would have to feed it about 2,000 watt hours, or 2 kWh. At an average price of 12 cents per kWh that means that your phone uses about one quarter’s worth of electricity per year.

Therefore, if you want to keep your battery alive, simply keep a good habit of charging your phone.
