Have you already installed a third-party battery manager app(s) on your smartphone? I don’t want to say this, but I must say it, since it is a fact. A couple of years back, I was told that there are some apps available on play store that increase smartphone battery’s life. Although, I tried some apps and later regretted my action. However, these third-party task managers’ apps will never extend your smartphone battery’s life other than the default tool. Most of these apps are negatively affect life of battery because they will just run in background, sometimes shutting down other apps etc. At times, they will recommend apps that will optimize your smartphone or displaying various advertisement which is “apparently” low on memory.

However, if you luckily charge it up to 100%, make sure you unplug it instantly to avoid a break of high stress activity. If you overcharge your smartphone battery, the battery will damage and its performance will cut.
