Why has my smartphone started to discharge faster over time? The problem can be solved, but you'll have to try

Over time, any mobile device begins to discharge faster.

And this is explained by battery wear.

Over the years, the battery loses capacity, making it much more difficult for it to “hold a charge” for a long time.

As a result, the user has to connect the charger to the smartphone too often.

This situation is very annoying. It makes it difficult to use the gadget fully.

Fortunately, the problem can be solved. More precisely, “smoothed out.”

To do this, it is necessary to significantly slow down the process of capacity decline and try to compensate for the consequences of poor battery performance.

Smartphone starts to discharge quickly: what should the user do?

First, it is necessary to take measures to reduce battery wear due to external factors.

Stop using your mobile phone in cold and hot weather.

Do not leave the gadget on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.

Give up the habit of using a charging smartphone.

Secondly, you need to reduce the load on the device by abandoning some functions.

Don't keep Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS on all the time: Activate these wireless technologies only when you really need them.

Remove unnecessary applications. First of all, we are talking about programs that "eat" a lot of battery.

If you take all the above measures, you will significantly slow down the wear of the battery. In addition, it will discharge more slowly.

But know: despite your efforts, the process of capacity loss will still continue, although not as quickly as before. Thus, you will be able to delay, but not avoid, the complete failure of the battery.

If the battery discharges too quickly, although all measures have been taken, then it is worth considering replacing the device.
