Although producers of mobile phones have been working on faster charging, improving phone battery life and performance, some think there are some tricks that help their phone battery last longer. However, here are some misconceptions some of us have as regards to prolonging our battery performance;
Using task managers prolong battery life
Task managers might be effective to manage your phone operating system, but useless to prolong battery life. The operating system of your phone has been good enough to manage all the apps performance well. The third-party task manager could make some apps perform well but not good to your phone operating system, and might be harmful to your battery.
Charging your phone to the max before using it for the first time
“When you unbox a new phone, turn it on and use it for the first time, you need to charge the phone fully if the battery power is out”. This is actually a mistake because the best working condition for the phone battery is when it is charged from 50% to 80%.
The producers will keep the new phone around 80% power before packing, so charging the new phone to the max for the first time is really not good for the battery life.

Not using your phone while it’s charging
Most of us think it is true that using our phone while it is charging will be harmful to our phone battery. This is also a misconception. The battery is charging when you plug your phone whether you use it or not. It is just adding one more task to the device when it is working not over-tasking. The thing, however, is, you’d be better not making phone calls while it is charging.
When we charge the phone, the battery is heated up and phone calling at the same time will cause our battery to burn easily.
Fear that chargers from a different brand will kill your battery
Some iPhone users think a different charger will harm the battery except the original one. This is total nonsense.
Chargers of other brands might take longer to charge, however, if the good one works well as your original charger, it is no danger to your battery.
So, don’t be afraid of charging with a different brand charger will kill your battery.
Trying to “train” your battery
This misconception is that we shouldn’t charge our phone until it is completely draining out, then we recharge our phone from zero to a hundred percent.
People think this makes our battery capacity better than ever before. To actually “train” your battery in this way is useless.
The battery capacity is fixed when it is manufactured. You can charge your phone freely even it is at 90% power. The reason why your phone battery is draining so fast with the time you are using your phone is because of its depreciating. You may consider getting a new battery replacement this time.
