Extend Your Samsung Battery Life: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding Battery Degradation

Samsung's commitment to long-term software updates ensures your phone stays current for up to seven years. However, battery health can deteriorate over time. This guide provides practical steps to maximize your Samsung battery's lifespan.

Why Limiting Charging Capacity Matters

Lithium-ion batteries degrade with repeated charge cycles. Charging between 20% and 80% minimizes stress, extending battery life. Check out Xiaomi Mix Flip 2: Upgraded Foldable with Enhanced Battery for another example of battery optimization.

Setting Up Charging Limits with Samsung Routines

  1. Routine 1: Activate Battery Protection at 90%
    • Go to Settings > Modes and Routines > Routines.
    • Create a new routine.
    • Under 'If', add 'Charging Status' (wired and wireless).
    • Add 'Battery Level' below 90%.
    • Under 'Then', set 'Battery Protection' to 'On' and 'Maximum'.
  2. Routine 2: Deactivate Battery Protection Above 90%
    • Create another routine.
    • Under 'If', add 'Charging Status' (wired and wireless).
    • Add 'Battery Level' at or above 90%.
    • Under 'Then', set 'Battery Protection' to 'Max' with 'Battery Protection On'.

Additional Battery Optimization Tips

  • Avoid extreme temperatures.
  • Use a slow charger when possible.
  • Enable Adaptive Battery in settings.
  • Minimize background processes.
  • Turn off unused features (Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi).
  • Charge before reaching 20%.
