Are you experiencing a diminished battery life? Most devices feature a rechargeable battery and each one has a limited lifespan, which means that the capacity & performance of your battery will eventually begin to decline to the point of requiring replacement. As the battery life begins to decline, so does the performance of your device.

Most modern gadgets utilize lithium-ion technology which offers faster charging capability, longer battery life, and are physically lighter in weight.

Battery life vs Battery lifespan

“Battery life” is the duration of time that a device operates before it requires a recharge. The life of your battery is often determined by the tasks you perform with the device.

“Battery lifespan” is the duration of time a battery lasts before it requires replacement. The lifespan of your battery is often determined by its chemical age and the total amount of charge cycles.

Tip for improving battery life & lifespan

1. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (hot or cold). An ideal temperature for Lithium-ion batteries is between 62° to 72° F
2. If you keep your device inside a case, remove it prior to recharging in order to prevent the battery from becoming excessively hot
3. Charge your device 50% when storing for prolonged periods of time. This reduces the chance of “deep discharge state” or capacity loss
4. Update your firmware and optimize the brightness or backlight settings

As the lithium-ion batteries chemically age, you will notice that the device remains charged for shorter periods of time before requiring recharge. This is the nature of this technology and should be expected. The good news is that we offer a variety of battery replacement options, so contact us for a free repair quote today!
