IT specialist Alexander Rusnak shared recommendations for properly charging a smartphone to increase battery life. Here are the expert's key tips:

2. Do not charge to 100%: The specialist advises not to charge your smartphone to the maximum 100%, but to stop at 80-90%.
3. Use original chargers: Using non-original chargers may shorten the battery life and even cause a short circuit. Rusnak emphasizes the importance of using certified and thoroughly tested chargers.
4. Myths about energy consumption: The expert debunks myths about the impact of turning off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS on the “life” of a smartphone, arguing that these functions do not have a significant impact on the battery if they are not actively used or in the background.
5. Fast chargers: Rusnak says modern smartphone controllers effectively control charge rates, allowing fast chargers to be used without harming the battery.
6. Optimizing energy consumption: If you have problems with your smartphone quickly draining, the expert recommends checking background applications, reducing screen brightness and using special energy saving modes.
