- Wi-Fi: when you leave the house, work, university and any other place, the best option will be to disable the Wi-Fi, since this tool consumes between 2% and 3% of the battery.
- Location: the best option to disable this tool is when users are at home, because it is important to keep it activated when leaving, in order to share the location to another person or track the device in case of being a victim of theft or loss of the device.
- Mobile data: keeping the Wi-Fi and mobile data activated at the same time can have great consequences on the battery of the phone, which is why it is essential that when connecting to a network, the best option is to turn off the cell phone data.
- Bluetooth: it is very normal for users to forget to disable Bluetooth after using it; since this tool consumes a total of 5% of the battery.
Habits that can damage the device’s battery
For a long time users have developed a habit on battery charging of these devices. Although in recent years technology has had a remarkable evolution, to the point that there are powerful fast charging systems.

- Leave the device in sunlight: Exposing the device to the sun’s rays can cause its temperature to rise to the limit not recommended, that heats it up more than necessary, which is why it will considerably affect the phone’s battery.
- Use the device in the charging process: this is one of the most common mistakes, since when using the mobile while charging it can lead to heating more than necessary, which can lead to harm the useful life of the phone.
