Here are some tips for making sure your phone battery never dies.

Turn Down the Brightness

One of the easiest ways to prolong your battery life is to turn down the screen brightness. This is an obvious tip, but it’s been shown that lowering the brightness really does make a difference. So if you aren’t doing it yet, start immediately. It’s also good to make sure the “Auto-brightness” is turned on so the screen will automatically dim if you’re in a dark setting.

Monitor your Apps

Many popular apps are notorious for draining battery, especially ones that are heavy on graphics or audio. Video games, especially free versions with ads, are the biggest culprits.

And remember to close your apps, rather than just minimizing them. Apps that are running in the background can be battery drainers.

Turn Off the Wi-Fi Connection

When your Wi-Fi connection is turned on, your phone is constantly looking for a hotspot. While connecting to the nearest Wi-Fi signal can be great for saving money on your data plan, it can also be a huge battery drainer. Turn the Wi-Fi off and connect to it only when you must.

Turn on Airplane Mode

Airplane mode is also great when you’re in a situation without service so your phone isn’t draining itself trying to find a signal.
