Battery Life Tips

This question comes up all the time. How can I increase the battery life on my phone?

Firstly, battery life will wane after the first few months of usage and over a couple of years, you will likely notice your phone doesn’t stay charged all day any longer.

You may find usage patterns to be a big factor - the more you use it the quicker it depletes.

​That said, you can be a bit smarter with battery life:

1.Turn the brightness down.  Train auto-brightness that less is more - use manual control.There’s even a super dim option for night time on some devices. Use quick access (swipe down) to change with minimal fuss.

2. Let Your Phone Learn. Modern smartphones are smart! Features like Adaptive Battery and Battery Optimization learn your usage patterns to intelligently manage power consumption.

Use Adaptive Battery and Optimisation in Settings -> Battery
These features monitor which apps you use, how often, and when. They then optimize background activity and battery allocation to prioritize your most important apps

Use adaptive charging if available
This intelligent charging method learns your overnight charging habits and slows down the charging speed as it approaches 100% to help preserve the long-term health of your battery.

3. Use Dark Mode and set it up always or on a schedule.
Dark mode isn't just a stylish aesthetic; it can also contribute to better battery life, especially on phones with OLED displays (which includes most flagship devices).

​Small Changes, Big Impact
​
Implementing these simple settings can have a noticeable positive impact on your phone's battery life. By taming screen brightness, letting your phone intelligently manage power, and embracing the darkness, you can spend less time hunting for an outlet and more time enjoying your device. Give these tips a try and reclaim your phone's battery power!
