How do you Train a Android smartphone battery?

[FineVisionz]

I have heard about "Training" your phone's battery to increase the battery's charge time,  is this true and how do you do it?

 

Thanks

sounds fake

The cliche "Keep the battery between 20 and 80% or something". I'm not sure.

Never even heard of that. Sounds like an old wive's tale to me.

There's no way to "train it", i'd call it more like "proper way to handle a lithium battery".

 

Some things that will let it last longer;

 

-Don't let it keep charging or let it on the charger when its already fully charged

 

-Let the battery completely run out of juice every now and then and then charge it.

 

Actually thats about it what you can do yourself to remain your battery stays in the best shape.

There is no such thing with lithium ion, it used to be a thing with NiMh and NiCad batteries as they had a "memory"

 

Modern phone batteries are different, you should just top them up when you need to, you dont need to run them to 0, 

 

 

they basically have a number of cycles - lets say 500, that means that you can charge them 500 times from 0 - 100 before the battery fails or starts to degrade

I heard that when you get a new phone,  it's good to give it a full charge,  drain the battery to 0% and charge it back up to 100% and repeat the process 2-3 times.

No its not true, the 0-100 thing was to give phones a more accurate battery reading

 

but phones are smart nowadays, and so are batteries, and its just unnecessary
