How To Kill Your Cell Phone Battery

Have you ever wondered what kills a cell phone battery? It would be easy if there was just one answer, but the issue is far more complex than that. The fact is that there are many different things that could kill your cell phone battery, and most of the time its caused by the cell phone user. We all know cell phones are worthless when the battery is dead, so let us find out what phone batteries hate.

Todays cell phones use Lithium Ion batteries which are definitely the best type. These batteries are awesome because they are light in weight and hold their charge better than the batteries of the past. Lithium Ion batteries, although they last a long time, have some evil nemesis enemies much like supermans Lex Luthor.

The main enemy is other metals and what they do to cell phone batteries. Other metals, when in contact with the Lithium Ion battery receptors can disturb and completely ruin the ions within the battery and make the battery defective. Most of the reconditioned or refurbished batteries are often the product of the battery touching other metals. Even though refurbished batteries are cheaper, they are generally garbage.

The second largest enemy is water. Even though you and I need water to sustain our lives, water will indefinitely end the life of a cellular phone battery. Water totally ruins the Ions and gives you a battery that is defective, even if the rest of the phone looks fine. Dropping your phone is very common, and most of us drop our phone at least once a week.

Extreme temperature conditions are also bad for your battery. We had a client that worked in a freezer for a company and he would tell us that he had to replace his cell phone battery every 3 months. Batteries naturally need a constant climate as much as possible to operate and function to their full potential.

Now that you know what to look for you will be better prepared to save your phone and extend it’s life.
