Windows.  Viruses.  Laptops.  Internet.  Office.  Utilities.  Drivers

When purchasing a modern gadget, we want it to serve for a long time at the proper level. For autonomy, an important indicator is the amount of available and consumed energy in the device’s battery.

What determines the operating time of the device?

The characteristics of the smartphone must indicate the capacity of the battery installed in it. This indicator is measured in milliampere hours (mAh). When choosing a device, you need to focus on the specified characteristics of the battery, because this is the main element that allows a mobile device to be truly mobile. Information is available both on the battery and in the passport of the smartphone.

Modern models have a non-removable battery, so you need to focus on the characteristics declared by the manufacturer.

The operating time of a smartphone on a single charge depends on several indicators:

  • Screen size.
  • Display manufacturing technology.
  • Brightness of the glow.
  • Using mobile internet.
  • Launching applications.
  • Running programs in the background.
  • Use of additional gadgets connected via USB, 3.5 mm jack. or Bluetooth/Wi-Fi.

The screen is the main source of energy expenditure. There are several types of screens that differ in operating principle and energy consumption. If we evaluate efficiency, then Amoled displays come first, followed by TN-TFT, followed by IPS-TFT.

That is, if a smartphone is equipped with an Amoled display, then it will consume less energy during use than a TFT screen.

To find out the capacity of the installed battery in your device, you can look at the battery if the back panel is removed, or install a special program.

As an example, let's use the application CPU-Z. With its help, you can find out the characteristics of all elements of the device; after installation, just go to the required tab.

The lines reflect:

  • Battery condition.
  • Percentage of energy remaining.
  • Type of food.
  • Charging status.
  • Manufacturing technology.
  • Current temperature.
  • Voltage.
  • Capacity.

Provides more accurate information 3C Battery Monitor. This application is designed to provide complete control over your battery status.

All information is clear and available at any time. Using the application, you can test the capabilities of your device and adjust battery consumption.

Determining the actual battery capacity

To check the actual battery performance of a mobile phone, you need to use special tools. There are several types of USB testers available on the market.

The device is equipped with a plug and socket of the usual format. You need to connect the tester to the SZU, and insert the power cord of your smartphone into its socket. The procedure for charging the phone to 100% will allow you to find out how much energy the battery actually holds. Before use, the device must be discharged until it is completely turned off.

How long does the device last on one battery charge?

Manufacturers declare the operating time of each model in the device characteristics (standby mode and talk mode). The indicator gives an idea of ​​the battery life, while testing a smartphone in which no SIM card is inserted and it is not connected to networks. Talk time is indicated when connected to a 2G network. Paying attention to the specified period, you need to reduce it by about a third.

On average, batteries of various capacities last for some operating time:

  • 2000 mAh – 12-24 hours;
  • 3000 mAh – 1-1.5 days;
  • 4000 mAh – 2-3 days;
  • 5000 mAh – 3-5 days.

Time is approximate, with moderate use of the device. If the user actively works on the Internet, communicates on social networks, launches applications, then the operating time is reduced by 50-60%.

The camera, flash, and large applications and games consume a lot of battery power.

If you need to go on a long journey and want to save the device’s charge, then you should turn off the use of the Internet, geodata transfer, screen rotation, and turn on auto-brightness of the display. It is useful to turn on the power saving mode. The algorithm is designed to reduce energy consumption by 20-30%.

Paying attention to the remaining charge and battery capacity, you need to understand that each battery has a discharge limit. The battery is not 100% depleted while the device is operating. A minimum residual charge is needed to preserve battery performance and maintain smartphone memory.

To increase battery life and slightly accelerate battery performance, you need to do calibration. Several cycles of completely discharging and charging the battery allow you to weaken the fuse control and increase the operating life. It is worth doing 2-3 procedures to increase the autonomy of the device.

The article will tell you how you can buy a smartphone with a good battery.

Battery capacity is the most important characteristic of a smartphone. Therefore, if a smartphone has a good battery, then it will most likely be a good smartphone.

Why is battery power the most important characteristic of a smartphone?

From a technical point of view (in terms of its “stuffing”), a smartphone is identical to a tablet. Which means the same level of energy consumption as a tablet. Moreover, the level of energy consumption of a smartphone can be even higher than that of a tablet, due to the fact that the smartphone must be constantly connected to the cellular network. Namely, the operation of wireless communication adapters (cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth) is in second place, after the screen, in terms of energy consumption. Moreover, it is also important that today people very often use their smartphones to browse social networks or websites. And this also increases the battery consumption of the smartphone - the display works for a long time, the WiFi adapter is working or the cellular adapter is working in data transfer mode.

And such requirements for long-term autonomy are what make you buy a smartphone with a powerful battery.

With all this, the physical dimensions and weight of a smartphone are approximately two (or even more) times smaller than that of a tablet (meaning tablets with a diagonal of 7-8 inches).

And the size of the device imposes a limit on battery capacity. For the simple reason that the capacity of modern batteries depends on their physical size and weight.

That is, the smaller the smartphone, the weaker the battery.

Therefore, for cheap, and for many budget, and even expensive smartphones, one day of work without recharging may be unattainable. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this, because you can charge the battery.

The problem is that lithium batteries have a limited number of charge-discharge cycles. Cheap batteries usually last about 300 cycles, good (expensive) ones can last up to 500 cycles, or even more.

And if you have a cheap Chinese smartphone that needs to be charged every day, then in less than a year its battery will “die” and you will have to change it. And these are additional costs. And time to find a suitable battery. Or maybe such a battery won’t be able to be found at all. And then you will have to buy a new smartphone.

But the problem of quickly dying batteries can also occur on an expensive smartphone. Even if a smartphone has a good battery that can withstand 500 charge cycles, but its capacity is small and you have to charge it every day, it will last less than two years.

So battery capacity is the most important characteristic for a smartphone.

Models with a capacity of less than 1500 mAh (milliamps per hour) can be excluded from the list of candidates altogether.

At the same time, it is important to understand one feature - for cheap and budget Chinese smartphones, the declared battery capacity usually does not correspond to the real one. The specifications of such a smartphone may indicate a battery capacity of, for example, 1500 mAh, but in reality its capacity will be noticeably less, it’s good if it’s at the level of 1200 – 1300 mAh. And if it is written that the battery capacity is 2000 mAh, in reality it could be, for example, 1500 mAh.

There is even such an ironic expression - “Chinese watts”. It appeared a long time ago, in relation to cheap Chinese power supplies. But this expression fully applies to cheap Chinese batteries.

The battery capacity in cheap Chinese smartphones can be safely reduced by 20-25 percent.

There is another unpleasant feature of cheap Chinese batteries. They die quickly. They have a shorter charging cycle life. They have a higher number of defects. As a result, when buying a cheap Chinese smartphone, there is a high probability that in a little over a year, or even earlier, you will end up with a dead battery.

Smartphone with good battery

The batteries in Samsung smartphones are considered the most durable. Sony and Nokia are not far behind them (now the Nokia brand belongs to the Chinese company Foxconn). In addition to durability, smartphones from these manufacturers have honest battery capacity. If Samsung or Sony indicate in the specifications of a model a battery capacity of 1700 mAh, then you can be sure that it will be that way. There is a very high probability that an honest and reliable battery will be found in smartphones from manufacturers such as HTC, Asus, Acer, Lenovo.

Good batteries can also be found in Chinese smartphones costing significantly more than $100.

Smartphone with a powerful battery

There are no standards here, but I think that a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh or higher can be called large.

However, you need to understand that such a smartphone will be either large in width and length (screen diagonal 5.5 or 6 inches). Or, with a screen size of 4-5 inches, it will be a thick smartphone - 10 mm thick or more. And the weight, accordingly, will also be at least 140 - 150 grams.

There are no miracles. There are no small and capacious batteries yet. So when choosing a smartphone with a large battery, you are automatically choosing a smartphone that is large in size and weight. This size can be distributed in different ways. Or thin (7-8 mm), but with a large width and length. Or small width, but thicker (9-12 mm).

And don’t forget about the cost of the smartphone and the manufacturer.

If the Chinese company “Uncle Liao” offers a smartphone for $100 with a 4000 mAh battery, then with a 99% probability it will not be 4000 mAh at all. Or it will be an “overclocked” battery, in which the capacity is increased by raising the voltage to 4.35 volts and such a battery will not last long. Read the article Why Lithium Batteries Destroy, it describes how the Chinese are increasing the capacity of batteries.

Removable or non-removable battery

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer models with a collapsible body and a removable battery. Such models can only be found in the cheapest segment - costing around $50.

The bulk of smartphones are now produced in a non-separable case, with a non-removable battery. That is, the body, of course, can be disassembled, but with the help of tools. Accordingly, the battery in such a smartphone cannot be easily replaced. And this may mean an increase in the cost of owning such a smartphone. If you have to replace the battery, you will have to contact specialists and pay money for it.

Reduced battery consumption

Regardless of the platform (Android, Windows or iPhone), the main battery hogs are:

  • Display.
  • Wireless communication adapters – WiFi, cellular communication in data mode (3G, 4G) and Bluetooth.

Thus, reducing battery consumption means reducing the use of these cells. If you don’t watch videos on your smartphone and use the Internet as little as possible, then the battery life on one charge can even be several days (depending on the battery capacity and system settings).

A few tips that will allow you to reduce battery consumption:

  • Always keep WiFi, Bluetooth, geolocation (satellite location) and “Data transfer” turned off. Turn them on only when you need them and turn them off immediately after use.
  • Reduce display brightness.
  • If Android 9 is installed on your smartphone, then enable dark theme.
  • Always remove unused applications from RAM. The list of applications loaded into memory opens differently in different operating systems. B This can be a separate button or a long tap on the “Back” button.
  • Turn on airplane mode at night. Better yet, turn off your smartphone completely.
  • Look at the settings of your smartphone, if there is a battery saving mode, turn it on.
  • Look at the settings of your smartphone, if there is an option to manage application settings - use these settings to limit the operation of background applications.
  • Remove applications you don't need, especially those that constantly access the Internet - Gmail, various cloud services (for example, cloud drives).
  • Disable automatic data synchronization with your Google account (or other accounts - Samsung, Xiaomi, etc.).

How to extend battery life

It was already written above in this article that smartphone batteries (as well as tablets and laptops) have a limited number of discharge-charge cycles.

Universal external batteries, or power banks, are not such a complicated technology that you can get confused about them. We'll tell you how to choose an external battery for your phone - which one can best provide power to your devices even on a long hike.

How to choose an external battery for a smartphone? Main characteristics

Capacity

The main parameter by which you should choose an external battery is, of course, its volume. It determines how long it can power your devices. Modern power banks have a capacity from 2,000 to 50,000 mAh. But the principle “a lot is good” does not work here: as the capacity increases, the size and weight of the battery increases.

The most comfortable battery for daily use will be a battery with a capacity of 5000 - 10,000 mAh - this is if you want to charge only one device and do not go far from home. If you need an autonomous power source for several devices, or you plan to be away from an outlet for a long time, it is better to pay attention to external batteries with a capacity of 20,000 - 30,000 mAh.

Charging current

The second important characteristic is how much current the device is capable of producing at the output. The higher the current, the faster the battery will charge. But charging batteries too quickly is not entirely correct: they can overheat and fail faster. For an average smartphone, a device with a charge current of 1-2 A is sufficient; for tablets and laptops, 2-3 A is required.

The optimal charging current can be “seen” on the charger that comes with the gadget. As a rule, the gadget’s electronics limit the maximum current for safety reasons, so weak devices are unlikely to burn out from powerful charging -.

The most successful option is a power bank with two ports that produce different output currents. For example, one port can output 1 A, another 2 A - we will tell you a couple of external batteries for a smartphone with this capability at the end of the article.

But most often, the manufacturer indicates the total current that the device can produce - that is, when connecting two smartphones, each is given 1 A, for a total of 2 A. Keep this in mind!

Ports and cables

Devices are connected to the power bank via USB ports using the supplied cables and adapters. Take another look at your devices and ask yourself two questions:

  • Firstly, how many devices do you want to charge at the same time?? Ideally, an external battery should have the same number of ports.
  • Secondly, what devices do you have? If you have an iPhone, the power bank should have a Lightning connector; if you have an old iPhone, you will need an Apple 30-pin to USB adapter. To connect other devices to an external battery, you may need adapter cables from USB to microUSB, USB Type-C or a DC-DC cable (for a laptop).

Cables can be supplied with the power bank, but if necessary, they can, of course, be purchased separately. In addition, there are external batteries with attached sets of adapters, including those for peculiar connectors like the same Apple 30-pin.

Charging type

Important question - how do you intend to charge the power bank itself?. A good external battery has a microUSB connector for its own charging. Accordingly, you can even charge it with a smartphone charger (keep in mind that with a low charging current, this will take a long time). It is also possible to use any other connector - for example, a computer port, a USB outlet or a car cigarette lighter.

But there are alternative options - for example, . Then you can replenish your energy reserves by simply leaving it in the sun for several hours - and then charge your gadgets from it. For long hikes in nature, such a device will come in handy, and it will also come in handy at the dacha. In addition, this is minus one gadget that will draw energy from your outlet.

Special requests

The four above-mentioned characteristics are common when choosing any power bank. However, besides this, there are many interesting additional options that an external battery for a smartphone can have - how to choose the right ones is up to you:

  • Charging laptops. Such a power bank can produce enough voltage to recharge your laptop battery. External batteries with this function are often equipped with DC inputs, as well as voltage switches that allow you to increase and decrease it: after all, a laptop requires a voltage of about 20 V to charge, and a smartphone “eats” only 5 V - the comparison here is clearly not in favor of the “laptop” . Of course, such devices are quite large.
  • Fast charging. The power bank can support fast charging functions: Qualcomm 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0, as well as proprietary technologies - Samsung FastCharging, Meizu mCharge, Asus BoostMaster. Moreover, both for devices and for yourself - in order to replenish your reserves as quickly as possible.
  • Wireless charger. Power banks with this feature have a transmitter that is supported by new smartphones. In order for the phone to start charging, you just need to place it on top of such a power bank - no cables are needed.
  • Protection from dust and moisture. The designs of some power banks have passed and are rated up to IP68 inclusive. Check out this feature if you need a truly rugged power bank (perhaps for your super rugged smartphone).
  • Information display. On it you can see the remaining charge in the power bank, current voltage, current and other important information.

In addition, a power bank can have a nice design and an unusual shape, be supplied with accessories - complete cables, adapters, a cover or storage case, and some models can even be used as a flashlight.

The battery of any phone wears out over time and begins to hold a charge less well. This process is inevitable and does not depend on the cost of the phone, its model and the type of battery used (nickel-metal hydride, lithium-ion or lithium-polymer).

Depending on operation, frugality and frequency of charging and discharging, the battery partially exhausts its resource in two to three years, and after 5 years it may become unusable.

For some it is earlier, for others it is later. To know in advance how much reserve you have left and when to prepare for replacement, you need to be able to accurately determine the current capacity of your phone battery.

Contents

What is battery capacity

First you need to figure out what it is - battery capacity. This is its ability to store and return DC energy. Measured in ampere hours or watt hours. This indicator indicates how long the battery can power the phone.

For example, if a battery has a capacity of 1750 mAh, this means that it will work for 10 hours with a current load of 175 mAh, or 5 hours with a load of 350 mAh, or 1 hour with a load of 1750 mAh.

As a result of various processes occurring inside the device, the battery capacity gradually decreases. Too fast discharge during passive operation or a sharp discharge when the scale was full, and after one call 15 percent remained, indicate that the battery is dying and it’s time to change it.

Important! If the phone battery is swollen or deformed, but still works, it must be replaced immediately. If external wear and tear occurs, the battery may burst and damage the phone.

Where is it indicated and how to find out the battery capacity

The battery capacity is written on the battery itself, usually on the side adjacent to the inside of the device. This means that simply by removing the cover, you won’t be able to find out anything. You will have to turn off the phone and remove the battery.

If the battery is non-removable or nothing is written on it, then you can look at the documents included with the sale or study the characteristics of your mobile phone on the Internet (for example, on the website market.yandex.ru).

Note! The battery capacity is indicated approximately in the following format: 1300 mAh.

You can also use mobile applications that are available for all platforms. Programs suitable for Android and Windows Phone CPU-Z or 3C Battery Monitor, but for iPhone.

If you couldn’t find them or they are not supported by your devices, then you can simply search for applications Battery and download any other one, most likely it will have the entire set of necessary functions.


Find out the battery capacity using CPU-Z or 3C Battery Monitor applications

Both programs gave the same and correct information - 4100 mAh, and also indicated that the condition was good. In addition, utilities can provide a huge amount of useful information about the state of hardware and software.

However, in this way we can find out the declared battery capacity; the actual battery life is somewhat more difficult to find out. This can be done using a multimeter, USB tester, or special mobile applications.

Checking the phone battery with a multimeter

A multimeter is a convenient multifunctional device that many people have in their household. It can measure a lot of things, including battery capacity. That is, you can use it to measure the level of current that the battery supplies - in Amperes. To check the capacitance, you will also need a resistor and a clock.

First you need to fully charge the battery, then discharge it using a resistor. Then put it on charge again and note how long it takes for it to be fully charged. Based on these data, the residual capacity is calculated using the formula E [A*hour]= I [A] * T [hour]. The resulting result will be the figure we are interested in.

Attention! It is worth noting that the method is quite long, complex, tedious and requires your direct participation. However, it is not at all accurate. Therefore, we do not recommend using it.

Via mobile applications

You can check the performance of the battery on a modern device using special mobile applications.

Checking battery capacity on Android

There are several ways to check the battery status of your Android phone.

Method number 1. In the telephone number field we type: *#*#4636#*#* after which we will immediately open a service menu, in which we will need to go to the “Battery Information” tab. It will provide general information about the battery and its condition. Unfortunately, even if the condition is unsatisfactory, the system can say that everything is fine.

Method number 2. Using a mobile application. The program is ideal for this purpose AccuBattery, which can be downloaded from Google Play for all phones running Android 5.0 and above. You just need to discharge and charge the phone several times and the application will accurately calculate the actual battery capacity and display the information in the “Health” tab. The program will also monitor the general condition and wear of the battery. Count charge-discharge cycles and give valuable recommendations for increasing battery life.

On the left screen is a Sony Experia Z3 Compact, which is about 3 years old, on the middle screen is a Xiaomi Redmi 3s 32gb, which is about a year old. On the right screen is a Xiaomi Redmi 4x 32gb, which is six months old. As you can see, the older the phone, the less capacity it has left.

The more discharge-charge cycles are completed, the more accurate the information will be. It is not necessary to discharge your phone to zero all the time.

Checking the battery capacity on iPhone

You can determine this indicator on an iPhone using a multifunctional utility. First you need to download and install it on your computer (PC and Mac only), and then connect the device and run the program.

  • CycleCount: 211 - number of full charge and discharge cycles;
  • DesignCapacity: 1430 - factory battery capacity, which is declared by the manufacturer;
  • FullChargeCapacity: 1132 - full charging volume;
  • Status: Success (all is well) - Current battery status;
  • BatteryCurrentCapacity 93% - current charge level.

Checking the battery capacity of Windows Phone

There are several application options with simple, self-explanatory names:

  1. Battery Information - An application for the battery of a Windows Phone mobile phone, showing the main parameters of this equipment.
  2. Battery indicator – displays information about the operation and health of the battery on the lock screen or on a live tile, and keeps statistics.
  3. Battery by smalltech - shows how much time is left to listen to music, watch videos, talk, etc.
  4. Battery – displays the current status, the time until the device turns off or until it is fully charged, as well as other notifications.
  5. Battery Doctor - shows the charge level, how long the device can operate at the current level, and also gives tips on saving battery.

All of them are suitable for phones, laptops and other Windows devices.


Find out the capacity of a smartphone using a USB tester

A USB tester is essentially the same multimeter, only designed for modern devices. Unlike a conventional device, it can also measure the battery capacity of a mobile device.

The device is simple and easy to use and connects via a USB port. It is capable of measuring current and voltage and displaying the received data on the display. Counts the amount of energy passing through it, which is used to determine the battery capacity.

The device stores all its calculations in independent memory blocks; you can always return to the data and double-check it. Unneeded information can be deleted using the Reset Content key.

How to measure battery capacity with a tester:

  1. Completely discharge the battery under test.
  2. Set the value of the active memory cell of the tester to 0.
  3. Connect the charger and the desired battery in series.
  4. When the device is fully charged, the tester will show the battery capacity level.

You can do the complete opposite: first fully charge the phone, and then measure the time it is fully charged.


USB Battery Capacity Tester

If less than 50% of the original capacity (declared by the manufacturer) remains, it is better to change it. This should also be done if its appearance leaves much to be desired - there are swellings and deformations.

You can take measurements in various ways, but according to reviews and opinions on various forums, everyone - including mobile applications - has an error, which means the result will be inaccurate.

The most reliable measurement is via a USB tester. However, it is advisable to purchase this device only if you intend to use it regularly. It doesn't make sense for one or two batteries. It’s good that measuring capacitance is not its only function.

There are still questions about how to find out phone battery capacity, or have something to add? Then write to us about it in the comments, this will make the material more useful, complete and accurate.

Most often, modern smartphones are equipped with a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh. This is not enough for some users, since they want to remember only once every two or even three days. It is for such people that smartphones are produced, which will be discussed in today’s selection.

It is important!

Many people believe that high battery capacity indicates record battery life. But in the world of Android smartphones, this is not always the case. Operating system optimization, display technology, type of processor installed, and many other factors influence the operating time on a single charge. Therefore, a large battery capacity does not always guarantee excellent autonomy.

There are a lot of devices with incredibly capacious batteries. Our top contains only those that have good characteristics. Also, all of the listed models collect much more positive reviews than negative ones. There is no need to assume that to create the rating, we selected only smartphones with the most capacious batteries - such copies are often too heavy, and their characteristics quickly make you think about replacing the device with some more advanced model.

DOOGEE BL5500 Lite

  • Battery capacity: 5500 mAh
  • Thickness: 10.5 mm
  • Weight: 180 g

Price: from 6,700 rubles.

In an era of serious competition in the world of smartphones, on store shelves you can find devices with an emphasis on one or more components with a very budget price. Among all the inexpensive phones with a capacious battery, the model from the brand stands out.

The smartphone not only has a capacious battery, but also has an impressive 6.19-inch display with modern HD+ resolution and a newfangled cutout for the camera. The glass is covered with Gorilla Glass, which increases its durability. The body of the device is plastic, but it looks nice. There are black, blue and gold versions to choose from.

In terms of hardware, the device is not very impressive, due to the low price - MediaTek MT6739, 4 cores at 1.3 GHz, memory - 2/16 GB, there is a slot for a capacity of no more than 64 GB. The rear camera is dual – 13+8 megapixels, the manufacturer indicates that the module was created by the company, and this guarantees good quality in its segment. Front – 5 MP. As protection, the device received a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel.

In general, the gadget is designed for everyday work without special loads, as well as for comfortable watching movies.

OUKITEL K7 Power

  • Battery capacity: 10000 mAh
  • Thickness: 14.5 mm
  • Weight: 303 g

Price: from 8,000 rubles.

In 2019, users began to lose the habit of seeing something ugly and big. K7 Power completely proves this. The device turned out to be thick and heavy, which is of course due to the huge battery, but visually it looks interesting. The material for the back cover is durable plastic, textured like leather. The model has a durable metal frame that will protect the device when dropped on a hard surface. The 6-inch FView screen with HD+ resolution is covered with Gorilla Glass. The top edge turned out to be so small that it is almost invisible. The back side looks interesting not only with its leather-like coating, but also with a matte metal insert on which there is a finger scanner and a flash. Overall, the device looks very nice, but the same cannot be said about the internal components.

It was previously mentioned that the gadget received a huge 10,000 mAh battery and fast charging. An important point - 1 hour gives 40% of the capacity; to get the remaining 60% it will take another 2 hours. This is quite a lot, but autonomy in this case requires sacrifice. The performance of the model is not impressive - MediaTek MT6750 with 8 cores at 1.5 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. All this is very modest for 2019. The device is clearly not suitable for gaming, but is designed for simple everyday tasks.

The main storage is 16 GB, there is a slot for, but instead of a second SIM card. The rear camera is dual – 13+2 megapixels, but users note that the additional module is fake, its real resolution is 0.3 megapixels, and its presence in the device is purely nominal. But the main 13 megapixel module is made by Sony, it does not give phenomenal results, but in capable hands the photographs turn out quite good for their level. The front module is 5 megapixels, it is nothing interesting.

Advantages:

  • Protection of the case from impacts.
  • There is fast charging.
  • Not a bad camera.
  • Nice design.
  • Fingerprint protection.
