How To Make A Battery Last Long

I bought a mobile/ Digital-camera and its battery is draining very soon, is this the same case with you? What makes the battery life go down so quickly even when the battery is just a year old? The reason is because you do not know how to handle the batteries so as to make them last for a longer time.

Taking care of batteries is very easy provided you ask for a few precautionary measures from a good electrical engineer. You are lucky that I am an Electrical Engineer. Yes, and I will definitely help you to regain your battery life.

The moment you buy any gadget which runs on a rechargeable Li-ion battery discharge it completely and charge it completely. The first time you use your gadget let the battery charge and discharge completely for a few cycles (three to four). There is a reason why Engineers advice you to so this: the ions in he battery have to become free and active.

As the name itself indicates most of the Li-ion batteries run on the principle of cell conduction. Remember the experiment including dipping two rods in an acidic solution? A battery also runs on the same principle. I will not run into much technical details and bore you to death. But this is one simple solution to improving your battery life and ensuring a good battery.

Let all the charge in your battery drain and charge the battery completely. Sometimes overcharging can also improve the battery life of your device, but, the reverse is also true. And you also have the possibility of getting your battery basted. To know whether your battery life is gone remove it and see it horizontally. If the battery is bulged at the middle portion be sure that it has greater chances of bursting. Discard it immediately.

Once I had been to Chennai. I found that the battery of my mobile drained immediately. Not just that: the battery had turned burning hot. In such cases, switch off your mobile and remove the battery let it cool down, reinsert the battery after it cools down, but, do not keep your mobile on forever. Turn it on only when the need arises. It is normal for a battery to lose charge quickly when you are in hot and humid climates. Just make sure that the battery does not get hot enough to give you the image of a suicide bomber. With the above measure I am sure that your battery performance and battery life will see immediate improvements.
