One of the fundamental concerns with any mobile device is always the battery durationAbove all, in times like this, when we spend less time at home than ever and when trips are so frequent. The problem tends to get worse, in addition, as our tablet goes getting old, something that also happens with smartphones, but that is more noticeable in these devices simply because we do not renew them with the same frequency, but we keep them with us for more years. As we can take care for the health of your batteries is kept in the best possible condition? We present you some basic recommendations.
To maximize the autonomy of our tablet there are several factors What must be considered. The first is, of course, to choose a model that responds well in this sense, something for which you already know that the most useful thing is to always consult autonomy tests, since the data of the battery capacity it is important, but insufficient, since consumption must also be taken into account. It is not the only thing, in any case, to which we must pay attention: no matter how much potential our tablet has, yes we waste energy, we are going to benefit very little from that virtue. But none of these considerations can remedy the time, another fundamental factor to ensure that the battery of our device remains satisfactory in the long term. Today we are going to focus on this last question, reviewing some fundamental tips that can help us maintain battery of our tablet in the best possible health.
Partial charges are positive. We start with a myth that seems to find it difficult to disappear: full loads (0 to 100%) are not good for the battery. The truth is that it is not really fair to say that it is a myth, since it would be more appropriate to say that it is good advice that has been outdated, since it was actually effective for the nickel battery, but not for the current Lithium, in which the exact opposite happens, that what suits them best are the partial loads, of 50 points or less, even.
Try to prevent it from downloading altogether. Why are full loads not recommended? Among other things for this: for current lithium batteries it is not good to stay completely discharged, because some cells may be deactivated forever. And if for some reason we can't help it, remember charge it asap, even if you are not going to use the tablet immediately, because it does not benefit them to remain unloaded for too long.
Keep them at half capacity. If we add the two previous tips, we practically arrive at this third automatically: the ideal, although it is an arithmetic that may not adapt well to our daily lives, is keep battery charge around 50%, which is the point where your performance is more efficient and in which his "health" suffers less. If we do a couple of daily recharges, it will be easier to keep it on that spectrum.
Protect it from extreme temperatures. Especially now that summer begins and with it the holidays, especially the beach ones, it must be borne in mind that excessive heat does not suit them at all: a average temperature of 25º, a mobile device can lose up 20% of their capacity, so imagine what they can do higher temperatures. And the same happens with the Extreme cold, although at this time of year it affects us less.
Avoid carrying with the cover on. This is a recommendation that is simply an extension of the previous point, since it has to do with the heat who may have to support the device: although leaving the tablet charging all night It is not necessarily bad, it can be if more heat is generated than desirable, something that can happen more easily if you wear a bag setting that prevents it from dissipating at the proper rate.
Avoid fast and wireless charging. Another tip that stems from the one to avoid excessive heat, since that is the problem with many of the fast wireless charging: which cause the temperature of the device to rise too high. We know they are two very comfortable charging systems, but use them only when you really need to. The ideal thing for your tablet is to charge to a steady and rather slow pace, as this is how it stays warm.
Use good quality chargers. It is not so much a problem not to use the official charger (although if we have it on hand, there is no reason not to), how to use poor quality chargers, so if the one that came with your tablet has been lost or damaged for some reason, and you are interested in keeping it in good condition, it is worth the extra investment. Also, think that it is not only for the good of the device, but for your own fullfilment of security requirementsas it would not be the first time that a faulty charger has caused the device to ignite and cause a serious accident.
