Battery Care Tips for Longer Lifespan
The battery is the heartbeat of your refurbished Remobile device. Following these simple, professional tips is the best way to maintain its efficiency, extend its overall lifespan, and ensure the best possible performance for years to come.
Why Battery Care is Essential for Your Refurbished Device
When you purchase a refurbished device from Remobile, it includes a battery that meets our stringent performance standards. Nevertheless, even high-quality batteries degrade over time. By adopting smart charging habits, you can slow down this process, extend your device's runtime between charges, and maximize your investment.
General & Optimal Charging Habits
The goal of optimal charging is to minimize stress on the battery cells.
Best Practice | Explanation |
The 20% to 80% Rule | For optimal long-term health, try to keep the charge level between 20% and 80%. This reduces the stress on the battery and significantly extends its overall lifespan. |
Avoid 0% Discharges | Avoid letting the battery fully drain to 0% too often. Deep discharge cycles accelerate battery wear. |
Limit Overnight Overcharging | While modern phones intelligently manage charging, continuous overnight charging can stress the battery. If possible, disconnect the device once it reaches 80–90%. |
Use Quality Accessories | Always use the original charger and cable that came with your device, or certified, high-quality replacements. |
Avoid Cheap Chargers | Refrain from using cheap or unauthorized cables and adapters. Subpar accessories can deliver inconsistent power, which could damage the battery or charging port. |
Disconnect at 100% | If you charge to 100%, disconnect the device immediately rather than leaving it plugged in for extended periods. |
Temperature and Environmental Tips
Extreme temperatures are the biggest enemy of battery health.
Avoid Extremes: Do not expose your phone to either extreme heat or extreme cold (e.g., temperatures above 35∘C or below 0∘C).
Keep Out of the Sun: Do not leave your device in direct sunlight or in a hot car interior, as high heat greatly accelerates chemical aging and capacity loss.
Store Dry: Keep your phone in a cool, dry place. Avoid humid or very wet environments.
Software and Usage Tips
Small usage changes can lead to large efficiency gains.
Update Software: Keep your operating system updated regularly. Updates often contain important battery optimization features and bug fixes that improve efficiency.
Close Background Apps: Close apps running in the background that you are not actively using. These apps unnecessarily consume battery power.
Use Power Saving Modes: Use power-saving modes when your charge level is low or when you don't need full performance. These modes intelligently restrict background activity to save power.
Long-Term Storage
If you plan to store your device without using it for weeks or months, follow these storage guidelines:
Optimal Charge Level: Charge the battery to approximately 50% before turning off the device and storing it. Storing a battery at 100% or 0% for an extended period can cause permanent damage.
Storage Environment: Store the powered-off device in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Remobile Quality and Support
Your refurbished Remobile device is equipped with a battery that has undergone rigorous testing. Rest assured, all Remobile devices come with our standard 2-year warranty, which covers manufacturing defects, including serious battery faults.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the ideal charging range for my battery?
What is the ideal charging range for my battery?
For the best long-term battery health, we recommend consistently keeping the charge level between 20% and 80%. This minimizes stress on the battery cells.
Should I ever let my battery fully discharge to 0%?
Should I ever let my battery fully discharge to 0%?
You should avoid frequently draining your battery completely to 0%. Deep discharge cycles accelerate battery wear and shorten its overall lifespan.
Will leaving my phone plugged in overnight damage the battery?
Will leaving my phone plugged in overnight damage the battery?
Although modern phones have protection mechanisms, continuous overcharging overnight can still cause a drain. It's best to unplug the device when it reaches 80-90%, if possible, or use a smart plug/timer.
How do extreme temperatures affect my battery?
How do extreme temperatures affect my battery?
Both extreme heat and extreme cold are harmful. High heat (like in a hot car) is especially harmful, as it accelerates the chemical aging of the battery. Store your device at room temperature whenever possible.
Why should I keep my software up to date?
Why should I keep my software up to date?
Regular software updates often include crucial battery optimization and manufacturer bug fixes that help your device manage power more efficiently.
Does closing background apps really help save battery life?
Does closing background apps really help save battery life?
Yes. Apps running in the background can consume unnecessary power, even when not actively used. Closing these apps (or enabling battery-saving modes) helps save power.
