Tips

One way to avoid replacing a cell phone battery for as long as possible is to make sure that the battery is fully activated from the beginning. When the battery is new, the phone should be charged up fully for the first time and then allowed to run until the phone dies on its own before charging it up again. This process should be done from two to four times before changing the way the phone is charged. Although it is nice to keep a fully charged phone all of the time, this is not necessarily good for the battery and is actually reducing the length of time before the person will have to find a replacement cell phone battery. Cell phones should not be recharged before the bars are at one or two. Otherwise, the phone battery will start to 'remember' the amount of charge that was lost and will not fully retain a charge any longer.

Even if this 'memory' process has started with a Nickel battery, there are ways to remove the gasses that have built up (which cause the memory in the battery) and extend the battery's life so that a replacement cell phone battery does not need to be bought as soon. One way to remove the gasses is to let the battery fully run its course once in awhile. Even though it is difficult to see that the cell phone is running out of power, it is important to let it do so because it lets the battery become conditioned to the full use of its cells rather than partial usage.

Protection

One of the best ways to avoid having to replace the cell phone battery cover is to protect the cell phone to begin with. There are some rubber and plastic covers that are designed for cell phones which will protect them against damage if they are dropped on the ground. There are also some cell phone cases that can hook onto belt buckles and purse straps so that the cell phone is more easily in reach and not in as much danger of being dropped on the floor or other surface.

Sometimes replacing the cell phone battery cover requires that the person take the cell phone into the store to have one of the technicians replace it. This depends on the amount of damage that has been done to the area around where the cell phone battery cover needs to be placed. If the hinges or tracks for the cell phone battery cover have been damaged, it is sometimes difficult to replace the cell phone battery cover itself on that particular phone and may need some other means of replacement to hold the battery in place.

The good thing about using a cell phone cover to help to protect the cell phone itself as well as the components of it, such as the cell phone battery cover, is that there are so many different styles and varieties of covers on the market today. There are covers in every possible color and pattern imaginable so that the person's mood, style and need can be matched by the covers. There are some covers that cater to the likes of elementary students, having cartoon characters on them and there are covers that cater to high school students and have glittery designs or fashion icons on them.

Prolonging the Battery Life

When buying a cell phone battery, there are certain things that can be done to make the battery last longer. First, when the battery is being used for the first time, the cell phone should be charged fully and then be allowed to be used until the cell phone shuts off by itself since the battery is fully extended. This should be allowed at least two times so that the battery is fully ready for use and can hold a full charge. Often this process after buying a cell phone battery will take about four times to complete before the battery is broken in.

Once the cell phone battery that was bought is broken in, there are still some things to do to make sure that the battery lasts as long as possible. The battery should not be taken into a place where it is damp, even though it is tempting to have the cell phone in the bathroom when taking a shower so as not to miss an important call. In addition, the cell phone should not be charged for over fourteen hours at a time because if this happens the battery can become over charged and lose some of its life. The battery should be allowed to run until it fully runs out and the phone turns off periodically so that it can be conditioned and gasses do not build up in it (Nickel batteries only).

If these directions are followed, the cell phone battery that is bought should last for a long time. In addition, the battery life can be saved by setting the light brightness and amount of time that the screen light stays on to the lowest settings possible.

Purchasing a Battery

Any of the best cell phone batteries need about two to four times of fully charging and discharging them before they are at their full potential to retain a charge. Most people do not go through this step because they do not like to allow their batteries to go completely dead. However, it is important for the best cell phone batteries to fully charge and discharge so that they are able to retain the full charge for the rest of their lifetime.

In addition, there are many people who will consistently charge their batteries before they are on one or two bars left. With the Nickel batteries, this is not the best way to keep the cell phone batteries since they will retain some gas in the cells which needs to be expended or they will not work to their best capacity. The only way to expend the gas from the best Nickel cell phone batteries is to let the batteries fully extend themselves. In other words, the person needs to let the battery completely run out and the phone to shut off by itself before plugging it into a cell phone charger.

In addition, there are many people who will charge their cell phones over the course of a night time, often starting from the time that they get home for the day. This is not a good idea and will not keep the cell phone battery in the best condition. The cell phone battery should not be charged for over fourteen hours because more than that will overcharge it. In fact, a cell phone battery can usually be recharged in only three or four hours. After that it should be removed from the charger until it is ready to 'die' again.

When to Recharge

There are many people who use a cell phone battery charger at a certain time each day. Some people will use a car cell phone battery charger so that the phone will stay fully charged at all times. Although this seems good in theory, the battery is made to hold a charge for a certain period of time and is also made so that the cells will recharge a certain amount of times before becoming ineffective. If the phone is on the car cell phone battery charger every time that the person is in the car, whether the phone needs it or not, the battery is expending those precious times that it can be recharged before having to be replaced, and thus is shortening the life of the battery.

There are also some cell phone battery chargers that are made to hook into the USB port on a computer. These are just as dangerous to use in light of the length of time the phone battery will last because the person will often put the phone in the port when the phone is not yet in need of charging. Although these ports are convenient to use and are often doubled as ways to sync the phone to the applications on the computer, they do not serve the battery life of the phone very well since they often recharge the phone when there are still three or four bars on it.

Finally, there is the wall cell phone battery charger which is usually used when the person is sleeping. However, this also can reduce the life of the battery since the battery only requires about three or four hours to fully recharge again. Leaving it on the cell phone battery charger longer than that puts undue strain on the battery which reduces its life.

Internal and External

There are some internal settings that can be changed to extend the cell phone battery life. The brightness level of the screen should be set to the lowest setting so that it does not use as much power anymore. The screen light should also be set to turn off as quickly as possible after the user has used functionality on the phone the last time. This also serves to preserve power in the phone. Another feature that people do not often think of as using a lot of energy is the vibrating feature. In order to cause the whole cell phone to vibrate, a lot of energy is expended to do so. Instead of using that feature, a quiet feature should be used where the phone will briefly light up, but will make no noise when a phone call comes through.

Another way to preserve cell phone battery life is to make sure that there are not any applications running that are not in use. Once a person has finished working in a certain application, it should be completely closed rather than left open and ready to use again at a moment's notice. In addition, if the wireless connection is not being used at the time, then the feature should be shut off until it is needed again since it also limits the cell phone battery's life.

There are some other things that a person can do to extend the cell phone battery's life which require some forethought. Instead of charging the phone each night when the person is asleep, the cell phone should only be charged when there are only one or two bars left. In this way, the battery is fully depleted before being charged which helps to preserve the life of the cell phone battery which only has a certain number of rechargings before becoming ineffective at holding a charge.

Tips

Although many people do not think about this, a cell phone battery should only be charged when it is really low. This allows the battery to become fully depleted before getting a recharging which helps to extend its life. Most batteries only have a certain number of times that they can be recharged because of the wear and tear that recharging places in the battery's cells. If the person waits until the cell phone battery is fully depleted before recharging, the cell phone is not recharged on a daily basis, but is instead charged every two or three days, depending on how much it is used each day.

Another tip for lengthening the cell phone battery's lifetime is to stop recharging the phone overnight. Although this is a convenient time of day to recharge the phone, the cell phone battery only needs about three or four hours to regain full charge again. Continuing to charge the battery after it is fully charged only puts more undue strain on the battery and thus reduces its overall life span.

People who take their cell phone into the bathroom with them when they are showering are also reducing the life of their cell phone battery. The damp nature of the bathroom when a person is showering is not good for the cell phone battery cells and will decrease the length of time that the battery will retain a charge as well as its overall life span. Another way to extend the running time of the phone on a single charge is to turn the light settings of the phone to the shortest time possible while still giving you some light to see the applications on the phone at night. The screen brightness level should also be switched to the lowest setting to conserve energy.

Online

Using an online cell phone accessory store can also be convenient because the person can easily shop by category. These categories are usually set up in a variety of different ways. If the person is shopping for all the accessories that might go with a particular brand of cell phone that they have, they can do so. If the person wants to shop for all the different cell phone covers that are carried in a particular model of cell phone, they can also narrow the search to do that type of shopping. In addition, the person can also sort the categories by the cell phone carrier that they have so that they do not get hooked in a particular accessory and then find that it does not go with the particular cell phone and carrier that they have.

Another benefit of going to an online cell phone accessory store is that there are often reviews that go with the different products that they carry. Since these online cell phone accessory stores are catering to all different brands and carriers of cell phones, they are not afraid to let the users to reviews of the different products so that there are comparisons for consumers to review before buying. These online stores will also often give special offers on shipping so that the consumer does not end up paying as much in shipping as he did on the item that he purchased at the cell phone accessory store online.

Buying a Headset

When going to a cell phone accessory store to purchase a hands free cell phone accessory, it is important to do some homework first. Reading different reviews about these types of head sets is a good way to start since experts and consumers both give feedback in many of these reviews. In this way, the person can see what the technical features are in each headset and how other consumers think the headset measures up to the money that was spent on it.

Another thing to do when purchasing a hands free cell phone accessory is to talk to the sales person who is selling them to find out the strengths and weaknesses of each one. He should also ask to be able to test out different models so that he can compare the way that they work with his phone. In addition, different models fit each person's ear differently and the person will want to find a hands free cell phone accessory that will fit the best on his ear so that he does not have to keep fiddling with it to make sure it is staying in place.

Once the hands free cell phone accessory has been decided upon, the person should also check with the cell phone company to see if there are any unique features on the cell phone and cell phone plan that work with that type of headset. There are some features on certain phones that allow people to speak their text messages or emails so that they do not have to write them.
