Fortunately the battery technology is now more advanced than ever. Battery technology is widely used ingredient made from Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer, which is more durable and have the ability to store electric power is greater.

Still battery development was coupled with a heavier phone specification, such as cameras, GPS, music player, video player and so forth, are more power hungry, and ultimately suck up the battery faster.

Surprisingly, many people who suspect a problem because cell phone batteries run out quickly. Though not necessarily so. Now before you conclude that, try deh note the features you use every day.Here we sort of features that many power-consuming.

1. GPS

GPS became the most extravagant feature power because the GPS receiver using radio waves. Not to mention if the use of maps require Internet access via 3G or GPRS, which means enabling the two features at once.

Types of Batteries

NiCd
Batteries of this type is the first generation.Large capacity, this battery is suitable for older phones that powerful. In accordance with the size and capacity, the charging process was repeated merepotkan.Misalnya enough, replenishment should be done at the time of its true - completely empty. Because NiCD battery pack has a memory effect, the longer its capacity will decrease if the filling is not empty properly.

NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride)
The next generation is NiMH. This rechargeable battery still has a memory effect but only temporary. So much more flexible than the NiCd type. To recharge not have to wait really - really exhausted, but with the consequence will tersa quickly exhausted. But this is only temporary, while out back the content and its ability to be normal again.

Li-Ion (Lithium Ion)
Rather than the two previous generations, this type no longer have the memory effect. So you can fill in repeated without waiting for the battery runs out. Li-Ion batteries have a "life cycle" (life cycle) is shorter.Even if dicas excessive lithium ion battery will lose its ability, rather than NiCd or NiMH.

Li-Po (Lithium Polymer)
This newest generation of rechargeable batteries. In addition to environmentally friendly, its superiority over Li-Ion battery. For treatment of Lithium Polymer batteries, not far different from Lithium Ion. However, be extra careful handling - the heart. Given the nature of the "liquid" with a loud enough pressure can cause a battery change.

Li-Po's weakness instead requires us to recharge the battery not to wait for the phone turns itself off. Or as much as possible when the phone is low battery warning. If not, the phone is switched on because the battery is hard to not fully recovered.

Memory Effect Is it?

You may have or even heard the term 'memory effect'. Memory effect only happens on mobile phone batteries NiCad and NiMH types. Brief description as follows: if every time you charge the battery only 60%, then one day the battery will not forget that there is still room for 40% of which has not been filled. The battery will assume 60% is 100% alias battery is fully charged. Loss is not it?But never fear, the memory effect (once again) only occurs on older battery types such as NiCad and NiMH.
