We love using our cell phones, but there comes the annoying time of having to charge them when the battery runs out.
Many cell phones today have the function of
fast charge
or are cell phones that advertise having the fastest charges on the market, like the
Realme GT 2 Pro
and the
Xiaomi 13
.
But if you don’t have some of these options, and you need to charge your
cell phone
faster, we bring you the best tricks to charge a cell phone and save time in the process.
How to make your phone charge fast?
Here are the 9 tricks to make your phone charge faster and be able to eliminate slow charging from your
smartphone
.
1. Use the original charger
Not all chargers are the same. It is best to always use the
charger
official cell phone, which ensures the best results. Or, at least, it is advisable to have a good quality one. Using unauthorized chargers can cause problems, cause the phone to charge poorly or take longer to charge, and even deteriorate the battery.
2. Check the charger cable
The charger cable is one of the accessories that is most commonly damaged by use. If you try to fix it, the load usually won’t be the same anyway. It is better to change the
USB Cable
for a new one so that it charges the cell phone faster.
3. Keep it at a suitable temperature
High temperatures are bad for batteries, so the trick is to keep your phone as cool as possible when it’s charging.
Heat is the factor that most degrades battery performance. The phone should never reach temperatures above 40 degrees and generally the device should be between 20 to 25 degrees while charging.
To prevent your cell phone from overheating and keep it cool, you should:
-
Keep it away from the sun or other heat sources.
-
Delete background apps.
-
Clean the RAM memory through a special device-optimizing widget or app.
-
Remove the case from the cell phone while charging.
4. Turn it off
A widespread myth is that if you charge cell phones while they are on, the battery will be damaged. This is false, but it is true that the cell phone charges faster if it is turned off.
5. Do not use it while charging
You should try not to be tempted to touch your cell phone while it is charging. Every action of the device consumes battery and makes it charge slower. Therefore, it is advisable to be patient, since you get a faster charge when you are not using your cell phone.
6. Use airplane mode
If you can’t turn off your cell phone, a very simple trick that allows you to charge your phone faster is to put it in airplane mode. In this way, the calling, internet browsing and GPS functions are deactivated, but you will not lose the rest of your cell phone’s functionalities.
The gain in loading time is notable, but not spectacular. But at least if you charge your cell phone at night, it will allow you to keep it on so that the alarm goes off.
7. Do not charge it through a USB port
Phones charge faster if they are plugged into a wall outlet, rather than a USB port. A conventional plug transfers from 1.5 to 1.2 amps and USB ports provide a maximum of 0.9 amps.
If the only option you have to charge your cell phone is USB through the computer, make sure the phone is not syncing with the PC. That makes loading take longer.
8. Use a faster charger
You can use the charger that comes with the phone (assuming it comes with one because some models no longer come with it). But you can also invest in a faster charger: the higher the voltage, the faster it will charge a device.
To do this, you must verify that the phone supports fast charging. Each cell phone has a preset voltage. For example, some devices support fast charging at 67W, but if you use a 25W device, it will not be used.
Also, you have to make sure that the cable is up to the job. A
USB-C cable
Quality 24 gauge can carry currents of two amps or more. They are better than standard 28 gauge cables.
9. Portable charger
If you want to charge your cell phone quickly, you should not use wireless charging, as it takes longer. It is best to give your smartphone enough battery with its personal charger and reserve the
Portable Charger
for emergencies.
But when you don’t have a plug, this way is a very effective solution. You can invest in a
power bank
. Some are more affordable than others and can usually fill a phone’s battery in 2 hours.
We hope we have helped you with these useful tips so that you can increase the charging speed of your phone. It can be quite annoying to run out of battery, so if you follow these tips, you won’t have to worry again!
