Don’t count the hours ‘til your phone is drained. Have an extra battery bar on us with these tips on keeping powered up.

Start simple

 

It’s important to power down before powering back up.  For example, if your device is feeling warm, let it acclimatise to indoor temperature. Keep the room cool to recharge faster.  

 

If possible, turn your phone off whilst it’s charging. Turning the screen off is a second-best solution if you just can’t do without your notifications.

 

Tinkering around in your phone’s settings can provide unexpected longevity. Disable dormant apps or select low power whilst you’re still in the green. You’ll thank yourself on the long walk home.

 

 

Get equipped

 

There are so many ways to keep yourself well stocked on phone power. This range of on-the-go charging options will take you from bag to office to gym, guaranteed to keep you going all day.

 

 

Charging Pad

 

Charge your phone without a cable with this forward thinking charging technology, compatible with most QI enabled phones. Pop your phone down on the pad, stick the kettle on and come back when you’re ready to leave. Simple.

Power bank

 

Keep not one but two (or more) of your devices alive and kicking with a power bank. Small enough to fit discreetly in most size bags, these coaster shape boxes pack a strong punch, so no more running out of battery on the long walk home.

Fast charging travel adaptor

 

You didn’t go on holiday to panic. Stick this fast charging travel adaptor in your hand luggage for those last minute check in emergencies and watch as your phone powers up at double the regular speed, regardless of voltage.

Hi,

Retricting data usage from app's  running in the background you can restrict anything you want, but REMEMBER not to restrict messaging, playstore, android manager, or the download app, because this may cause problems!

for the device you're using!

 

Restricting certain app's running in the background does "save data" and at the same time, it also help's extend the device's battery life too.

 

This is just an example of what can be achieved!  Over a 16 hour period my mobile used just 1 single mega-byte. You might think this is impossible!

No, it is not! so,

You too can benefit from making some simple ajustments!
