If one owns an iPhone, it is very important to know how long it’s battery lasts. This will help increase the life span of your battery, allowing it to serve a user longer before they have to replace it. Just like the iPhone, the battery doesn’t come cheap and one can’t afford to spend all that money on it. This article will explain more on how long an iPhone battery will last and how one can make it serve them longer.

iPhones use standard lithium batteries that are rechargeable. Taking care of the battery is very important since it can not be removed. An iPhone’s battery will cost you over $100 to replace and this can only be done by an expert. If a user takes good care of their battery, it will serve them longer. Although the battery will not last forever it can push one for some years before they have to replace it.

One of the best ways to take care of the battery is to avoid heat. Heat minimizes the ability of the lithium battery to store the much needed energy. This is due intense ionization and one should keep the phone from long exposure to heat sources like the sun and heat from a car engine. This heat could severely damage the battery and decrease its life span.

Avoid charging the phone with after market chargers. Charging the phone with these kinds of chargers will not only void an iPhone’s warranty, but also damage the lithium ion battery. The iPhone is designed to charge with a certain amount of voltage and after market chargers may be a bit different.

Charging your phone with a car charger is also a no go zone, as the car charger is made to accelerate the process and this does not go well with the iPhone battery. Even the car charger that comes with the phone is not quite recommended. If it is possible to avoid charging the phone in the car, then one is advised to do so. The car charger charges the phone with the wrong voltage which is one way of rendering a battery worthless.
Using application services such as maps may reduce a battery’s life span. Go to the settings and make sure that the services are disabled and one should only put it back on when it is really needed.
Applications such as games prevent the screen from dimming and the continuous lighting of one’s screen is one sure way of draining the power from their battery. It is recommended that one only uses these kinds of applications only when they have either a charge around or really don’t mind if the battery runs low.
When not using Bluetooth, turn it off. This application takes a lot of power to run it and can quickly drain the battery.
When in low or no-coverage locations, it is advisable to use the airplane mode. If the phone is frequently trying to search for the coverage, a lot of power is wasted and airplane mode can be of great help.
