Get More Battery for Your Buck
Annnnnnd 100%.
Close call. I was almost down to 75%.
That may seem over the top, but I take my battery life very seriously. And I want to give you my top five tips to help you find a phone with a better battery and show you how to get more out of it.
#1... Upgrade to a phone that stays charged longer.
It's not rocket science. Longer battery life means more streaming. More gaming. More whatever-you-want-to-do with your phone.
Verizon has phones that pack in two full days of use on one power up. Upgrading to one of those is really easy. You can even do it right from the My Verizon app.
Another thing to look for is a phone that charges quickly.
You've got places to be. You can't be sitting around waiting for that percentage to go up.
Checkout phones that can give you a solid charge in less than an hour.
Once you find the phone that can keep up with you grab some accessories that give you more ways to stay charged.
Car chargers are lifesavers. Verizon has one that sends power to two devices at once so you can give new life to your phone and tablet.
They also have some phone cases that can double your battery life. Or if you're really crazy about it (like me), you can take a mobile powerstation with you if you think you won’t be near an outlet for a while.
You can also keep from using too much power by splitting up your time between two different devices.
It's great having everything on your phone, but watching a movie on it is a total power suck.
Adding a tablet to your Verizon account is really affordable. Seriously, you can go completely wireless for less than it costs to have a land line.
Get a tablet for your more battery-intense habits and you'll have more charge left on your phone when you want to go handheld.
Ok. You have some device ideas. But you're not done yet.
You'll want to change your power settings and keep an eye on your apps.
Find the settings and look for things you can change to save power. Lower the brightness on your screen. Turn on any low power modes it has.
And definitely watch your apps. You don't want them all sending you notifications 24/7. Be sure to close any apps you're not actively using and check individual app settings and turn off any background app options that are available.
I think you're all set. Just click below to find some devices that will keep you from having to worry about where your next recharge is coming from.
