With this trick you can extend the life of your Samsung mobile

The useful life of a smartphone is currently conditioned by the life of the batteries. In general, most batteries tend to degrade after 500 charge cycles, that is, 500 cycles in which the phone has been charged from 0 to 100% and vice versa. To this we must add the impact of fast charging on the cells that make up the battery modules. In Samsung mobiles we can alleviate the latter through a simple adjustment that all the company's mobile phones that support fast charging present, a process that we will see below.

Disabling fast charging, the best trick to extend the life of your Samsung mobile

So is. The way to proceed depends on the version of One UI that our mobile has. In general, the process is as simple as going to the Device Maintenance section in Settings.

In the Battery section we will click on the three Settings points until we find the Advanced Settings option. Finally we will find an option called Fast wired charging, which we will have to deactivate to disable the use of fast charging permanently.

If our Samsung mobile has wireless charging, it is likely that the assistant will allow us to disable fast charging without cables, something that from tuexperto.com we recommend if we want to save the health of the battery.

This is the impact of fast charging on battery life

It's a fact: using fast charging can reduce the life of your batteries. This is confirmed by a study carried out by Purdue University that we can visit through this link.

After several tests carried out with X-rays on different types of batteries for mobile phones, laptops and electric cars, the study concludes that the use of fast charging has a negative impact on the health of cells. One of the theses of the original article states the following:

The study itself ensures that fast charging causes irreparable damage. The only possible solution is to replace the battery, a process that is not exactly simple and easy to carry out.

This other study carried out by the Idaho National Laboratory has tested different electric cars model Nissan Leaf. For the study test, the lab used a total of four 2012 electric Nissan Leafs. While two of these were charged daily through the car's fast-charging system, the remaining two cars were charged at normal speed.

The results of the study are clear. After traveling the first 50,000 miles, about 80,000 kilometers to change, the first two Nissan models had lost a capacity of around 7 kW. The remaining two models had lost less than 6 kW. This degradation could be increased in smaller battery modules such as mobile phones. Precisely earlier this month Apple was forced to pay more than 500 million dollars to reduce the performance of its iPhones at the cost of maintaining the health of the battery.
