Okay, so there appear to be about a million articles out there on how to extend your cell phone’s battery life. Most of them share redundant and typical sense details such as “Turn it off when you’re not employing it”, “Don’t let the phone sit in direct sunlight”, or “Turn off features that you do not use”. There are even current articles that share outdated ideas such as “Do not overcharge your phone” or “Do not charge the phone unless the battery is completely dead”. Today’s phones use far more sophisticated circuitry to stop overcharging, and today’s Li-ion batteries do not develop a battery memory like NiCad or NiMH – so really feel free of charge to “top off” your phone any time you want with out consequence. The purpose of this write-up is to share an approach to extending cell phone battery life that is not found in too a lot of of the “tips” articles you might have already come across.

Common sense tells you that the quickest way to drain a cell phone battery is to in fact use the phone to make calls, surf the web, check email, and send SMS/MMS messages appropriate? If you said yes, ding ding ding, you are right (aside from truly removing the battery and placing a load on it to drain it quickly on purpose). The second greatest battery drainer is………..any person? Yes, when it has to search for signal – that is right. Go ahead and turn on your IR, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, push notifications, and background apps- they will not drain a battery quicker than when it is out of range of a cell tower. If you don’t believe me, set up your own experiment and try it sometime. As a lot of of you have almost certainly experienced, forget to turn off your cell phone in a cell “dead zone” and the battery appears to drain as quickly as if you were in fact making use of the phone the whole time.

So what is this extraordinary approach to extending cell phone battery life I mentioned in the title? It is in fact fairly simple. Make certain you stay inside range of a cell tower at all times!! Ahhh, I can already hear some of the thoughts in your heads…….”Well, what if that is just not possible Mr. know-it-all?” “I live out in the country where my phone goes in and out of coverage all the time – do you anticipate me to re-locate or petition my carrier to construct a closer tower?” “What if I take a lot of back-roads when driving to stay away from traffic and sometimes I drop calls, go into roaming, or lose service – do you anticipate me to sit in visitors jams on the key highways just so I do not have to plug my phone in each night?” My answer is, clearly, of course not, but there is something you can do to boost your coverage. If you can’t be close to a cell tower at all times then make your phone think it is close to a cell tower at all times. The easiest way to do this is with a cell phone signal booster – also recognized as a cell phone signal amplifier or repeater.

A cell phone signal booster works by extending the cell tower’s reach by capturing a weak signal outside a residence, vehicle, boat , RV, etc., amplifying it, and then re-broadcasting to the inside of a house, auto, boat RV, etc. There are several various varieties of boosters for numerous various applications and they will not only boost your cell phone’s battery life, but also minimize the frequency of dropped calls, boost voice clarity and ramp up your information speeds. You could be asking “So how precisely will a booster support boost my battery life?”. “My phone shows a bar or two, so I’m not utilizing up a lot of power looking for signal, and I know that boosters can’t increase a signal that is not present to start with, like in total “dead zones”, so I’ll just turn my phone off in these situations.” Well, you’re partly correct. Please read on for further explanation.

A lot of you almost certainly already know that cell phones use a lot of power when looking for signal, but what a lot of you may well not know is that a cell phone with 4 or five bars will in fact use much much less power than an identical phone showing only 1 or 2 bars. This is due to the fact the formula that determines how a lot of bars are displayed on your phone is also utilized to calibrate and set the transmit power of the phone. Take the game of football for example: when a team has to punt, the punter, regardless of field position, aims to punt the ball as close to the objective line as possible whilst keeping the ball in-bounds. Based on the distance, the punter will adjust the strength of his kick to put the ball where it needs to be, no a lot more, no much less. Cell phones work in the very same manner – they are continually updating their transmit power based on their signal strength and distance from the closest tower. Too little power and the signal will be indistinguishable from electrical noise when it reaches the tower. Too a lot power is just a waste of energy. With a cell phone signal booster amplifying both the incoming and outgoing signals, your phone can adjust itself to use a lower transmit power, thus increasing battery life. Additionally, if you are one of the thousands of individuals who get small or no cell service inside your property but have decent coverage outside your home, a cell phone signal booster will maintain your phone from having to search for signal, thus growing battery life.
