How to IncreaseYour battery Performance for Good battery Drain

[Guest sundawg]

Hi Everyone Please follow this simple procedure for your liquid for better battery performance .you will def see differnce...

•Turn you device off Remove the battery for 20- 30 seconds .now plug into charger

•Let your device charge until it reaches its maximum charge (100%)

•Unplug your device from the charger

•Boot into recovery & navigate to the wipe menu > clear battery stats > yes > back button or power button once to go back to main menu > reboot system

•Once the phone is booted, let it fully discharge, by fully discharges literally until the point that it dies .Now remove the battery for 20-30 seconds.

•Now re-plug your dead device back into charger and fully charge again (back to 100%), preferably while off.

•Once fully charged, unplug from charger, boot up and resume regular usage

•Your device is now fully re-calibrated

Follow this procedure atleast twice a month for better battery performace or after flashing a New Rom...please do leave your results & feedback after you follow this procedure & do answer the Poll as this could def help other liquid users... :mellow: :o

thanks, trying it now :mellow:

[Guest Edward.W]

Well, it takes some time to have a try on it, but it worths to have a try

[Guest ccorasaaa]

It works :mellow:

I couldn't say about the pulling-out the battery or the clear batt stats portion, but you should never, ever, EVER fully discharge lithium-ion batteries! That's something that most people think you still need to do from the days when cellphones had Nickel-Cadmium batteries. THOSE you would have to periodically discharge to properly 'reset' them, but Lithium-Ion batteries work in the opposite - the more full they are, the longer they last.

Lithium-ion batteries should NEVER go fully empty and shut down on you, and you should try to avoid going below 40% power as much as possible unless you're storing the battery for a long period of time.

A fairly technical article on LiOn batteries: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article...based_batteries

Slightly more laymen article (that just says pretty much what I've said here): http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-charging-your-battery (obviously this applies to anything with a LiOn battery and not just blackberries)

So yeah, for the tl;dr people - Don't ever let your battery discharge to the point where your phone shuts down or you're killing your battery yourself.

well practically thats untrue as i've tried & tested it..u dont have to do it on day to day basis..i've mentioned ..twice a month or if flashed a new rom..i've gone through all details of lithium-ion batteries its wiki's too..but def thanks for ur feedback ,appreciate it..when battery goes zero ..it auto re-calibrates & starts its new cycle..thats how it works..but i wudn't suggest zero ur battery everyday and charge it..i already mentioned it :mellow:

[Guest fischschneehase]

No its wrong to say never you should once a month discharge it copleyely;) cause all lithium ions have to get out of the system :mellow:

[Guest jayziac]

I would rather be safe and have the battery be a little off, but hold as much capacity as possible (even if it's inaccurate) than risk shortening its life by discharging it close to zero.

It's got nothing to do with calibration or cycles, by draining a lithium battery completely, you are actually physically damaging the chemical reaction.. It's not just Lithium Ion batteries, which would benefit from occasional discharges, but Lithium Ion Polymer batteries, which handle charging differently.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article...based_batteries

The lower the charge on the battery when you recharge it, the more cycles you lose. Heat also plays a factor in cycle loss, but Lithium Ion Polymer batteries (like in the Liquid E, don't know about the other Liquids, but I'd imagine they're the same) should be charged as often as possible if you want your battery to have a long life. The more you drain it, the more you wear it down. A full drain is absolutely the WORST thing anyone can do to their phone's battery.

I know you may think the advice you're giving in that first post is good, but you're telling everyone to essentially kill their batteries a few times a month. Even if it's just once or twice a month, it's still extremely bad for the chemical reaction. Modern batteries don't have the 'memory effect' that you used to get with NiCad batteries.

Bullshit iam studing chemestry :mellow: if you kill your battery two times a month it wont matter! You may perhabs notice a decrease if you use it more than 3 years ....:o of course killing the battery often damages it but two times amonth wont matter ....

[Guest stanomx]

But when you discharge your battery in your liquid, there is still some capacity (maybe 30%). Discharge to 0% doesnt mean real full discharge battery. But there is still protecting circuit in the battery when you try to discharge otherway. All ION batteries have to stay above 40-50% as long as possible in their life.

Undervoltage ion batteries almost destroy it.

When you sometimes fully discharge it, nothing happends.

IMPORTANT:

Connect your discharged battery to charger as soon as possible!!! Because staying long time discharged is really really BAD for it.

Sorry for my really, really bad english.

PS: i will try it
