1. Charging Your Battery Overnight Kills The Battery Life[br]It used to be possible to ruin a battery by leaving it plugged in all the time when you plugged in your phone for long periods, older lithium-ion batteries could overheat which in turn just reduces the charge capacity and long-term life of the battery.[br][br] [br]These days, chargers and smartphones are smart enough to prevent this from happening, at 100 they will only trickle charge a battery and run the phone on an extreme low power from a charger.[br]Just like some laptops can stay on when you remove the battery as far as the charger stays plugged in, your phones will run mainly on the charger power when your battery hits 100%.[br][br]2. Third party Battery Saving Apps are really saving your battery[br]It is advisable that if you still have any on your phone uninstall it and don’t look back. [br]There was a time during the time of android 2.3 and below when app management software’s worked but thanks to development Google and other OEMS have worked hard on memory management algorithms.[br]Most of your third party battery management software will negate the performance of these algorithms and cause more HARM to YOUR PHONE than good.[br][br]3.  5000 Mah Power Bank Will Yield 2 Full Charges For A 2500mah Device[br]We generally believe a 2500mah battery should be fully charged twice by a 5000mah battery. The catch is the voltage at which it charges.[br]The power rating of a power bank is calculated at 3.7 volts whereas the phone charges at 5 volts. When you connect your charger to the power bank, the Voltage is converted to 5V which automatically affects the overall power of the power bank, when power gets to the phone the power is converted back to 4.2v.[br]During this conversion process there is always a lot of power loss due to heat, that conversion efficiency also plays a big role on the actual capacity of the power bank.[br]
