HOW TO KILL DEVICE BATTERY – PHONE AND PC

Your device battery determines how long-lasting and useful the computer or phone is to you. No matter how high its capacity or functions, a low battery capacity makes nonsense of the entire device specification. Although every original device comes with a compatible battery and charger, there is sadly a fast way to kill device battery without knowing it. This is one big mistakes users make unknowingly, which speedily destroys their devices. Similarly, a good handling of battery charger also ensures longer life span of the device.  In this article, we shall see those fastest mistakes we make, which kill device battery and render the gadgets useless.

 

The Universal Serial Board USB technology is one of the commonest features in all electronic or technological devices. The USB is useful in many applications ranging from data transfer, electrical power transfers or device power charging. Furthermore, USB connections come handy in various linkages and for various purposes.

 

However, low knowledge on the proper use of these USB ports and devices has led to damages as a result. Research showed that these improper use of USB ports are predominant in developing countries such as Nigeria. As a result, we see a lot of cases of damaged computers, phones and electronic device battery.

 

You have desktop computers, laptops, mobile or cell phones, tablets, televisions, decoders etc furnished with USB ports. You use these ports to power other devices without considering their  capacities and specifications, you are simply initiating some irreversible damage to the electronic circuit board and the device battery.

 

When you charge power bank, phones, laptop computers through the USB port of another device, this overloads the mother device. Because you did not consider the power capacity of both mother and child devices, it leads to permanent power failure. In addition, many other affiliated issues especially on the mother device also occur. Although functional USB port receives some degree of electrical power, it is not meant to charge a higher-end external device. To force-charge any external device through the USB port irreversibly weakens the device battery.

Nigeria is one country with epileptic power supply. As a result, people charge their phones and even power banks through the USB ports of their laptop PC, TV sets and other home utility devices. This is fatally wrong. The moment a wrong power connection is established, the entire integrated circuit system experiences heavy imbalance which triggers system overload. the consequence is the collapse of the diodes, valves, transformers and even the entire mother board of such power-originating device. If the damage does not occur instantly, a gradual system collapse sets in.

Every electrical or electronic device has specifications as well as guidelines on its usage. The device user manual should always be consulted before a new form of connectivity or usage is initiated. Furthermore, every power outlet no matter how small has a related electrical capacity discharge limit. This informs on what kind of secondary or peripheral devices can be attached to such USB ports. Never attempt to use a USB port meant for digital data transfer for electrical voltage power transfers.

The next time you try to charge your power bank from the USB port of your laptop or TV or radio, please have a rethink. You are only telling your device that you no longer need it. Secondly, the integrated circuit (IC) Unit of mobile phone or device charger has electrical power specifications. Otherwise known as charger heads, these circuit boards define the kind of devices it can efficiently supply current to.

The same thing is applicable to the electric cord or wire of your charging device. The wire resistance measures in Ohms and power in Watt. The current measures in Volts and these all join to define what device your charger is best suitable for. An appropriate use of electrical power charging sources, USB ports and devices can guarantee the long life of your device and its power unit.
