Here are few tips to extend your phones battery life!

Turn Off The Vibrate Feature

One of the best techniques to increasing the battery life of a phone is by turning off the vibration mode ringer option. This is one most energy draining feature found in today's cellphone, the energy required for turning the tiny motor which causes the phone to vibrate is almost double to that required for the same phone to ring.

Turn Off Back Light

Most people generally use their phones in areas with sufficient background light, hence in these places there is no real need to have the back light on. However, if you do require to use the back light then its best to keep your back light time out to no more than 3 seconds.

Use your phone Just For Talking

If you want to conserve your battery then its best to use the phone for what it was initially intended for and nothing else. This means that you should avoid playing games, using the built in camera feature, listening to music, instant messaging or surfing the web. Battery use is directly related to cpu use, so the more tasks you do with your phone the faster your battery will drain.

Reduce Volume Level

Another way to increase your phones batteries is by lowering down the volume for the ring tone and by turning of unnecessary sounds such as the button pressing clicks and key tones.

Turn Off Your phone When Necessary

It is pointless to keep your lphones on in situations that you know you will not be able to get a signal at such as on a plane,underground or in a library. Scared of missing a call, don't. Many phone providers already have a system in place that would avoid you from missing a call. In this system, if a caller is not able to reach you then they are automatically forwarded to your voice mailbox where they can leave a voice mail for you to review later on.

Take Care Of Your phone Battery

Battery are not very resistant to temperature changes, hence its vital you store your phone batteries in a place that is at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. If possible try to fully charge your batteries nightly at minimal once every three days. Over time the terminals on the battery may become oxidized, depending on the severity you may just need to clean the terminals with alcohol or need to throw away the battery altogether.

Mobile phone batteries do lose their charge capacity as they age. This is due the general wear and tear and is to be expected. On average you can expect a modern phone battery to last for a couple of years before needing replacement.
