Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – HP battery health is an important factor for the continued use of the device.

There are several factors that cause cell phone battery health to decline, including charging errors. Therefore, there are things you should not do when charging your cellphone to ensure that the battery health does not drop drastically.

Regular battery charging cycles and keeping the phone cool are the main things to keep in mind.

Talking about the correct way to charge your cellphone so that the battery lasts longer, one suggestion is that users should not charge their cellphone to 100 percent.

This suggestion may sound strange to some users. However, in fact the cellphone battery is at a higher voltage when it is at 100 percent.

HP operating at low voltage is good for battery life. This way you can increase the number of charging cycles, long before capacity decreases.

Battery University reports its calculations that every 0.1 V decrease in cell voltage can double the battery life cycle.

Apart from that, cellphone users are also asked to avoid fully charging the battery, namely from zero to 100 percent, including charging overnight. Instead, charging can be done more frequently and little by little.

The use of fast charging technology is also recommended. Smartphones are also required to always be cold when charging. So keep it away from hot places while charging the battery.

Apart from that, to avoid the smartphone getting hot, don’t use the cellphone while charging the battery. Activities to avoid include playing intensive games, streaming video or running intensive workloads.
