We all hate when cell phone batteries run out while we are in the middle of something important. However, given how much we use cell phones it is bound to happen. Batteries are made to work that way. Periodic charging is a must for continued use. Although there’s no way around that, there are simple tips and tricks that can reduce the battery consumption of your cell phone giving you optimum runtime.

Here we list a few tips that are guaranteed to help.

Adjust The Brightness Level

Screen brightness consumes a significant portion of the battery. In fact, it takes up more battery than any other component of the phone. Therefore, it advised that you keep the brightness level to the point where it is convenient for use. Most new cell phones come with the auto brightness options, where the phone automatically adjusts the brightness level of the screen in correspondence to the ambiance lighting. Enable it!

Set The Screen Timeout To A Minimum

Screen timeout is the interval after which the screen light goes post usage. It is advised that you set this amount to a minimum, to ensure that the screen does not stay lit for minutes after use.

Turn Off Bluetooth If Not Using

Bluetooth is a convenient way to share files, play music wirelessly and channel music. However, it consumes a lot of battery. Once turned on, Bluetooth constantly searches for signals the result of which is faster drainage of the battery. So, turn off Bluetooth if it’s not being used.

Close Background Applications

Most people don’t know this but hitting the ‘back’ button on a cell phone does not necessarily close applications. It just removes the opened window while the application continues to run in the background. Depending on your cell phone model, you can search online as to how you can close applications properly. This alone can increase battery life by hours.

Use The Power Saving Option

Almost all modern phones now come with the power saving option that automatically configures the phone for optimum battery time. Enabling this feature may turn off vibrations, adjust brightness, disables animations, and turns off unnecessary notifications. Using this feature can result in a 20-30% decrease in battery consumption.

Replace Battery

Overtime, as the number of cycles stack up, the performance of your cell phone’s battery will deteriorate. Using the same battery for prolonged periods can decrease the functionality of the phone and in cases of swollen or leaked batteries, can even damage the hardware. So, it is highly advised that you replace the battery with a new one once it has reached its cycle limit.
