Smarter Software Speeds Up Smartphone Charging
- taspeotis 12y ago> One of the most frustrating things about smartphones—how long they take to recharge—could soon be one-third as frustrating. Anecdote time! iPhone 5 user here. The time it takes for my iPhone to charge doesn't bother me at all. In fact I find it rather quick, although it rarely gets charged from below 40%. My iPad on the other hand...

- sliverstorm 12y agoEverybody wants that next generation 10x battery, but that's deep in the world of experimentation, chemistry, physics... very pricey, with no guarantee of return, and well outside the specialty of nearly any company that would be looking to use such a battery.

- hrvbr 12y agoI have found that letting my battery completely discharge then recharging it fully will make it like new. My phone went from 5 days of battery life when new to less than a day 2 years later. This full recharge made it back to its 5 day life. I suppose batteries get fragmented like hard drives.
