- Know your battery type and how to handle it, read the manual.
- Use only the charger that was meant for our battery.
- If you are not going to use your phone for a long time, remove the battery and put it in a cool place, the refrigerator would be a good place, just remember to wrap your battery so your battery won’t be exposed to moisture, but don’t forget to put the battery in a room temperature at least for an hour and recharge it before you use it again.
- Clean the battery contacts on your battery and on the phone using cotton buds and alcohol to clean the dust and maximize the efficiencies of the energy transfer
