In today’s busy world of 24/7 work environment, a dead mobile or tablet battery is no excuse for missed calls and emails. However, keeping the devices in charge mode all the day is a challenge too especially if you are on the go.
With effective management of power to these devices, there are a lot of ways in which you can keep your devices running for longer hours. Here are 3 such ways to keep them charged.
1. Device settings need to be changed
Wi-Fi, GPS, data services are the ones that deeply drain the battery. Whether you send or receive data from the web or through GPS, it consumes a lot of power. If you change your phone settings you can save the battery drain. Turn off Wi-Fi and GPS services when not in use or in low signal areas as they consume a lot of power.
Also screen lighting and background light can use a lot of power so try to dim your screen and put your phone on standby when not in use. Keep your phone or tablets in power saving mode.
2. Keep a back-up power source ready
If you cannot turn down internet or other apps that consume excess battery power then carry extra power with you. If you travel frequently and cannot charge your device while travelling then you must carry another charged portable battery. For example “myCharge” offers universal extended batteries that are compatible with tablets, Smartphones etc. This power pack starts at $50 and can be plugged into any device through Apple connector, Micro USB or Mini USB.
Phone skins work as both cases and chargers for Smartphones that allows users to talk and charge at the same time. “Powerbag” is a backpack that has a in built battery that can charge 4 mobile devices and laptops. It starts from $140. All these power sources keeps your devices while you are travelling.
3. Charge and Drive at the same time
You can charge your phone from your vehicle while you are travelling. Buy a low cost USB adapter that comes for less than $20 and plug it into your vehicle power outlet and there you go, you are all set up to charge your device while you are driving.
But, be cautious as this is little risky. It might overheat and ruin the charging device if left plugged in for a long time. Always make sure that your device is unplugged before you start your car engine as it might lead to device power drain.
These are the 3 ways you can keep your phone battery going even while you do not get enough time to charge it at home or when free. More at Mobile Technology blog
