Try to keep your phone battery charged at an average of 50% or above most of the time. You should unplug the phone when power hits 100% charge and, if possible, avoid overnight charging.

2. Airplane Mode is your battery’s friend

Airplane Mode cuts off all radio signals to and from your phone, halting email, messages, phone calls, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connections. This may seem difficult for some people, but it is a great help to increase the battery when you don’t have anywhere to recharge.

3. Update your apps and keep it clean

4. Use Dark Wallpaper / Dim the screen

Most people love wallpaper (especially the animated kind) but this comes at the expense of your battery. Black or dark wallpaper and dim lights conserve battery life because the screen uses energy to illuminate only the colored pixels. Dark wallpapers and dim lights are easy on the eyes as well.

5. Disable Location Services

This is one of those features that are not only intrusive and unnecessary but also affect battery life. So, when not required turning off the location services or disabling it completely for most apps is the best thing to do!

6. Battery Saving Apps

6.	Battery Saving Apps

There is an app for most things nowadays. And fortunately, there are apps for preserving your battery — even though most battery savings result from more efficient hardware and settings. Battery-monitoring apps help you identify what is depleting your battery and compromising its overall condition. They help you save battery without having to dig into individual features or do a lot of manual tweaking.

7. Change the widgets, pause the notifications

Automatic App updates in smartphones are a cool feature, but they also drain your battery and may catch you at the wrong time when you have something important to do on your phone. Hence avoid having automated updates activated on your phone to maintain your battery health.

8. Conserve power

All smartphones offer a power-saving mode that automatically adjusts your settings to use the least amount of battery needed to operate. Low Power Mode shuts down all nonessential features. Sure, this is an emergency measure, but it can spell the difference between a functioning phone and a dead one.
