Modern BlackBerry devices make use of Li-on batteries. These are rechargeable and rely on the movement of a lithium ion between the cathode and anode to provide power and to power-up during a charging session. One of the reasons Li-ion is so popular is because they offer manufacturers a really good weight-to energy ratio. They are also said not to adversely affect a device’s memory or sufferfrom energy seepage when they are not being used. Here are six tips to maximize your battery usage:
1. Fully charge the battery when you first get your BlackBerry device. Do not be afraidif you leave your device plugged in a bit too long because overcharging will not break the mobile device.
2. Don’t wait until your battery is completely used up before you recharge the battery. It’s a pointless waste of time that does nothing but seperate you from a valuable communications device at potentially awkard moments.
3. Turn off the Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth/radio searching capabilities of your device if you are not using them. Otherwise, your device will act like a sniffer dog, constantly searching for connectivity and eventually the battery will get tired and drained out faster than usual.
4. Watch the backlight brightness on your BlackBerry device. Reducing it a bit won’t make much difference to the display, but there could be noticeable effect on battery longetivity.
5. Be mindful of the temperture at which you store your device. High temprature will make your battery feel weaker much more quickly.
6. If you use too much of the applications that is in the device, watch on the intensity of your usage. This will drain the battery faster than usual.
