The Incorrect Ways to Have Your Phones Charged

Owning a smart phone is good but sometimes it is really irritating where it needs to be charged at least once or twice per day. Before blaming the imperfectness of the phone, we should be aware of that could be caused by the ways we charge our phones. You might have charged your phone incorrectly that brings your phone to have a relatively shorter life span. Let's look at what should be done when doing the phone charging.

1. Use the correct phone charger provided
   As you might know, in order to have your phone to be fully charged in a shorter period, you can use iPad charger which provides higher power. However, this is not recommended as it may harm your phone in the long run. The best way to do would be to always use the original phone charger to charge your phone.
   
   [Tip 1]: Same concepts applies to the charging cable where it is recommended not to use the cables bought from unknown brand as it can harm your phone and for safety purpose too.
   
   
2. Do not use phone when charging phone
   Many people like to use the phone to continue texting, playing games or scrolling facebook when the phone is charging. Phone should not be used to ensure the phone is charging under optimum condition. Having the screen on when charging phone is harming your battery as well as affecting your body health in long run.
   
   
3. First time charging for 8 hours is not necessary
   Many phone users are always told to have their phone charged for approximately 8 hours first right after they purchase the phone to activate the phone. This might not be necessary now. This is because most of the smart phones are using lithium battery which can have the phone functions without the need to charge it to full for its very first time. It is recommended to just charge for normal time even it is first time charging the new phone.
   
4. Room temperature when charging phone
   It is recommended to have your phone charged at the normal room temperature, not too high or too low. Having your phone charged at lower temperature deters the chemical reaction to be taken place in the battery and thus lengthen the time needed to charge the phone fully, Likewise, charging your phone at high temperature might cause the lithium battery to be unstable and therefore explosion is possible to happen!
   
   [Tip 2]: You should also power off your phone once a while regularly to restart the phone. It is to avoid your phone being lagging when using and to lengthen the life span of phone.
   
   
   

Besides fixing the way you charge your phone, you should also take care of your phone properly, eg. have a phone cover and avoid dropping your phone frequently so that you can your phone for at least a few years for sure. Why not start practicing the right habits in charging from today? Cheers.
