How often do you need to recharge your cell phone?

One of the biggest concerns of those who have been using the cell phone for a long time, is the device's battery. Many of them are still projected with batteries that do not last for a long time (with the exception of the more expensive models)... So, this ends up forcing them to be recharged every day (which is sometging pretty boring... and I'm included on this team, 'cause I need to do this every single day).

Mine is not expensive but the battery lasts for a few days. Of course my phone is not used heavy.

Ah, I remember the old Nokia days when a charge would last for a week!

It seems that phone technology has advanced a lot faster than battery technology.

Last time I checked my battery health was 81%. I usually charge my phone every day.

@WiseGhots Yep, once a day. Unless I decide to play my Yahtzee game. That one uses up the battery quick. Main reason I stopped playing it.

There are four things that suck batteries Having wifi or Bluetooth (or both) on at all times. moving in and out of cellular zones (tower to tower) Video and games uploading and downloading a lot of data I always carry a small plug and charge battery for my phone just in case!

I throw it on the charger whenever convenient or driving, so it's always charged!

With my previous phone, I had to charge it every night, and sometimes even again during the day. Now, I usually end the day with 50%, depending on how much I was on it. I think that's pretty good, nowadays. I remember the time when I could go on vacation for a whole week and didn't have to charge it! That was before the smartphone era, of course.

I have to charge my phone a few times a day. My phone is 2 years old they are not among new software that fits my phone so that means it has less space for saving. Also if someone doesn’t close out there windows or apps they run in the background which kills your batter sooner so to close them out when done will save your battery.

I do it once every day. I do it for some half an hour in the morning as soon as I get up. That is more of a habit now. My phone need not be running out of battery and sometimes there is still 80% of it remaining.
