As our devices get more and more sophisticated the batteries that run them seem to be growing at a much slower pace. In the heyday of the flip phone it wasn’t unheard of to go two or more days without charging your device. Today, however, it’s not uncommon to charge your smart phone two or three times a day just to keep it going.

Part of this is the leap in technology phones and mobile devices have taken and the other part is how much we use these devices today. Since your battery is basically your lifeline to your phone and the Internet, caring for it and understanding how to get more out of it is important.
