GENERAL TIPS
Tip 1 | Monitor your usage
It is important that you know what the problem is when you suffer from a malfunctioning battery. Therefore, first check the battery usage in your phone before you take drastic measures. It may be enough to remove one app from your phone to double (again) your battery life.
Tip 2 | Turn off WiFi
If you are not using WiFi, switch off the connection. Your phone will not continue to search for connections. This saves your telephone battery.
Tip 3 | Turn off automatic e-mail synchronization
When you receive your e-mail on your smartphone, your phone regularly checks for e-mail. It takes a battery to check this every time. Fortunately, you can switch off that your phone does not automatically check for mail. Please note, you will have to check manually whether there is e-mail!
Tip 4 | Turn off GPS
GPS ensures that your phone knows exactly where it is located. Handy for when you use your phone for navigation, less handy when you want to save battery. Therefore always switch GPS off when you are not using it.
Tip 5 | Decrease the brightness of your screen
A very effective way to save battery power is to lower the brightness of your screen. The lower the brightness, the less battery your screen consumes when it is on. Your screen is often one of the largest energy consumers; lowering the brightness can save a lot of batteries.
Tip 6 | Use your phone less
Even better than lowering the brightness of your phone is using your phone less. By having your phone turned on less, your phone uses less energy to make the screen work, but it also doesn't have to calculate how the phone should respond to you.
Tip 7 | Turn off your Bluetooth
Bluetooth used to be widely used to send files between two phones, nowadays it is almost only used in car kits and similar setups. Just like WiFi, Bluetooth constantly searches for a connection. It is therefore best to switch off your Bluetooth when you are not using it.
Tip 8 | Never drain your battery completely
A lithium-ion battery (the standard type of battery for new smartphones) can be damaged if you drain it completely. It is therefore better to charge your phone before it is empty. You can also switch off your phone before it is completely empty and then connect it later when you are not near a charger.
Tip 9 | Do not put your telephone in the sun
It is not good for your phone's battery if you leave it in the sun or in other hot environments. The battery can then inflate and the quality of the battery will decrease.
Tip 10 Charge your battery properly
It is important that you properly charge your battery. Do not just charge it for 3%. Every time you charge your battery, it will wear a little and your phone will charge 3% more often than not. Therefore always try to charge your battery to 100%.
Tip 11 Check your charger
Does your phone heat up during charging and are you not using the original charger? Your charger will then probably make your battery less effective. Therefore always ensure that you have the correct battery.
Tip 12 | Reset your phone
Resetting your phone can make your phone last a lot longer. Background processes are completely removed, just like your apps, contacts and other data. So make a backup before you reset your phone, otherwise you will lose everything.
Tip 13 | Do not use your phone if you want to charge quickly
With the latest Lithium-ion batteries, it is not a problem if you use your phone during charging, but this does cause your phone to charge less quickly. So if you want to charge your phone quickly, do not use it while charging.
Tip 14 | Charges at least 10%
If you have attached your phone to the charger, it is best not to remove the charger from the phone until you have charged 10%. Less charging can cause damage to your battery.
Tip 15 | Use a power bank
Not really a solution to improve the battery of your phone, but the use of a power bank is useful to provide your phone with longer power. A power bank is a kind of USB stick that you can connect to your telephone via a USB cable. Your phone will then charge without you needing a real power outlet.
Tip 16 | Turn on airplane mode
Are you using your smartphone (so you cannot turn it off completely), but do you not need internet and you do not need to be able to receive calls or receive text messages? Then set your phone to airplane mode. This saves a lot of battery power because the phone does not have to make connections. You can also use WiFi in airplane mode, so you don't have to live without internet when your phone is in airplane mode.
Tip 17 | Turn off your vibrate function
Making noise costs less battery than making your phone vibrate. It is therefore better not to set your phone to vibrate, but to set it to sound. Of course the silent function is best, but then you will not hear or feel when you receive a message.
Tip 18 | Use a static background
Moving backgrounds can be very beautiful or funny, but also consume a lot of battery. Therefore choose a static (non-moving) background. Even better than a normal static background is a black background. Black pixels do not cost as much energy as colored pixels.
Tip 19 | Set a screen lock time
Most screens lock after a few seconds or a minute or so, so the phones save battery. Have you not set a screen lock? Then do this to save battery. The lower the locking time, the more battery you can save.
Tip 20 | Quit apps completely
A good way to save battery (especially on Android) is to close apps completely. Do this by wiping away apps in your multitask window. You then close apps completely so that they no longer use a battery in the background.
Tip 21 | Empty your cache
In the Cache memory of your phone, apps remain on for a little longer than in your multitask menu. On Android you can empty the cache of an app by going to apps in the settings and there you can empty the cache per app. With iOS, you do this by removing the app from your phone and reinstalling it (note, emptying your cache, you will lose stored things such as high scores and files! See if you can back up certain data) ).
IOS
iPhones and iPad run on iOS. Do you have an iPhone or iPad and the battery of this device is no longer good? Then follow the following tips, especially for iOS.
Apple tip 1 | Don't let apps refresh automatically
Apps automatically refresh in the background with iOS, turn this off to save battery. You do this in settings -> general -> fresh apps in the background. Turn the function off completely or choose which apps you want to turn off.
Apple tip 2 | Disable suggested apps
Since iOS 8.0 you can get apps recommended by Apple based on your location and other issues. However, this function does cost a battery and therefore it is better to switch it off if you want to save battery. Do this by going to General -> Handoff and suggested apps in your settings and deselect my apps and app store.
Apple tip 3 | Turn off the handoff
In the same menu as the previous tip you can also turn Handoff off. This disables the ability to interact between your iPhone and your Macbook.
Apple tip 4 | Find out which apps use a lot
Since iOS 8 it is possible to gain insight into which apps use a lot of battery. To do this, go to settings -> general -> consumption -> battery consumption
Apple tip 5 | Turn off the equalizer
Do not use the built-in equalizer in the standard music app. Playing music costs more battery when you have switched off the equalizer. This can be at the expense of quality, but most people probably won't even notice it.

Apple tip 6 | Switch off AirDrop
AirDrop is Apple's wireless service that allows you to easily send files to other devices. If you do not use this, it is better to switch this off. You do this by swiping the control panel upwards from the bottom of the screen. Then choose AirDrop and switch off the service.
Apple tip 7 | Do not upload photos to iCloud automatically
In settings -> photos and camera -> my photo stream you can choose not to upload your photos to your iCloud account automatically. This saves battery because your iPhone does not need to go on the internet unnecessarily.
Apple tip 8 | Do not send data to Apple
Apple automatically collects information about your iPhone about how it works and what problems it does. These diagnoses are automatically sent to Apple unless you specify otherwise. You can do this by following the following steps: settings -> privacy -> diagnosis and use -> do not send.
