We’ve all been there: you have an urgent need to leave your home or business, but your phone is nearly dead. How can you make the most of a limited charging period to guarantee your phone stays on the whole time when you can’t stay for a complete charge? If sluggish phone charging is an issue you frequently encounter, keep reading to learn more about quicker charging and how to enhance the charging process.
It should be plugged into the wall rather than your computer
USB ports generally output between 1 and 2.1 amps, depending on the device vendor and USB generation. As a result, USB port amperage is substantially lower than if you use a manufacturer-approved charger to connect your phone to a power socket. Fast-charging technology is likely incorporated into your charger if you have a newer-generation iPhone or Android phone.
Turn off your phone
Turn off your phone if you can live without it while it’s charging. This prevents it from consuming any energy for continuing tasks or connections, ensuring that every watt of electricity is sent to the battery.
While your phone is charging, do not use it
The screen on a phone is one of the largest power hogs. If you can’t switch the phone off because you’re anticipating an important call, let it alone while it charges.
Set your device to airplane mode
The connection of your phone, like the screen, is a major drain on your battery reserves. Put your phone in airplane mode if you really must use an app while it is charging. When it gets back online, any updates or emails you’ve sent will go through, but in the meanwhile, your phone will charge quicker because it has less to do.
Invest in a high-capacity quick charging cord
A normal 28-gauge wire is included with most devices, and it can generally transport approximately.
A bigger, 24-gauge premium cable, on the other hand, may transport up to four times that amount. Consider using a thicker-gauge wire if your phone is charging too slowly even with the wall charger. Some thicker-gauge cables are even labeled as “rapid chargers,” which can help iPhone and Android phones charge faster.
Purchase a portable charger
A portable charger might be a smart purchase for individuals who tend to find themselves in this situation regularly. A portable charger (also known as a “power bank”) is a large battery that you can put in and charge ahead of time so you can throw it in your handbag, briefcase, or backpack and charge your phone on the move.
