Device battery management has become a culturally ubiquitous phenomenon. Nearly everyone has devices, from mobile phones to smartwatches, tablets, and laptops, but not everyone knows how to manage their battery life effectively. That’s not your problem unless it’s your equipment. Mobile data collection, especially fieldwork, requires power that lasts throughout the day. Do you have a plan to maximize not just charging life, which is how long a battery lasts after each charge, but also battery life, the number of healthy charging cycles a battery can handle before needing replacement? They are connected and inseparable, and if you invest in rugged technology, having it power down or “fail” due to power loss from tired batteries impacts the operation. Smart Charging Habits can double battery lifespan by reducing cycle wear and preventing thermal damage. Limit charges to 80% to minimize cell stress. Avoid full discharges below 20% or overcharging.
