We increase the capacity of the phone battery with our own hands. High-capacity battery for iPhone, truth or myth? High capacity battery

How quickly our phone drains directly affects the comfort of working with the device as a whole. This is understandable: when a smartphone fails at the most unexpected moments (for example, on the way home), the user experiences not the most pleasant sensations. It seems that the phone is there, but cannot be used. Moreover, we are talking mainly about entertainment.

What about a function such as communication or the ability to send a message? Imagine that you need to order a taxi late at night and your phone is dead.

In this article we will talk about how the battery affects the operating time of the device, what batteries are increased capacity, how to find out the battery capacity of your phone, etc.

What is battery capacity?

So let's start with general characteristics technical parameters of each battery. First of all, it is capacity. This designation shows how capacious the battery is, how much charge it can accept and transfer electronic device. Simply put, a battery's capacity shows how much electrical charge it can accept and store for your phone.

Capacity is measured in mAh (milliamp-hours). Each phone comes with different batteries, the capacity of which may vary. We will discuss further in this article what characteristics the nutritional elements installed in certain device models have.

Of course, you can expect that the battery capacity determines the operating time of the phone. This statement is quite logical. However, in practice it does not always work. We’ll talk further about what determines the operating time of a smartphone without recharging.

Dependence of capacity on charge consumption

In addition to the fact that the duration of the device depends on the capacity of the battery, there is another important indicator. You can call it the degree of optimization of phone systems.

Let's give a clear example that will show that battery capacity should not be overestimated when characterizing phones. Let's say the iPhone 6 model has a battery of approximately 1900 mAh. For comparison: devices from Chinese manufacturers running Android have batteries with a capacity of 2500 mAh. However, in practice, it may turn out that the Apple product will work longer. The reason is that it is optimized an order of magnitude better: the smartphone does not heat up, it is based on a single closed-source operating system that simply “flies” while working with the device. The same cannot be said about the Chinese mobile phones, which, having a huge battery, heat up like an iron; hang and constantly slow down.

How to find out the battery capacity?

When choosing a phone, some users really pay attention to such an indicator as capacity. With it, they are confident that they will be able to choose a more durable device that will delight them without recharging for a longer period of time.

You can find out the capacity in the technical characteristics of the device (they can be seen both in a regular store on display with the phone and in online stores) upon purchase, and simply look at it by removing the back cover of the phone yourself. Under it you will see the battery label - the manufacturer, certificate and, of course, its capacity will be indicated there (in mAh or mAh - this is the same thing).

iPhone battery capacity

We have already mentioned that iOS devices can be called quite highly optimized. Now let's take a look at the real specifications the most popular versions of these phones.

So, iPhone 4, 5 and 6 generations have batteries with capacities of 1420, 1440 and 1810 mAh, respectively. As we can see, in fact the capacity iPhone battery It's hard to call it big. The same Samsung Galaxy S2 had an 1800 mAh battery, while it worked much less on a single charge.

The secret to the success of Apple technology is in the optimization work that was carried out on the devices. As we see, practice has shown its justification.

Samsung batteries

Since we’ve already mentioned the brainchild of the Korean mobile corporation, we can also characterize some phones from the Galaxy line. After all, if you analyze many media from the world mobile technologies and electronics, Samsung is often called a competitor to Apple. Let's try to compare the battery capacity of these phones.

So, if we characterize Galaxy devices S, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6, then their battery capacity will be 1500, 1800, 2100, 2600, 2800 and 2550 mAh, respectively! As you can see, in addition to the last generation, the phone has been steadily increasing its battery capacity. And this dynamic is definitely sharper than Apple's. Although user reviews about this line do not call the smartphones durable, they lag behind the iPhone in terms of operating time.

This indicates that it is not always worth pursuing a large capacity.

The most "hardy"

If we take into account the entire smartphone market as a whole, then the leaders in terms of capacity are generally other companies. Maybe they're just using the high battery capacity number as a marketing ploy, or maybe these phones actually last longer.

So, the rating is as follows: the most “capacious” is Smartphone Highscreen Boost 2 SE with 6000 mAh battery. Behind it comes the Philips Xenium W6610, which can please the user with a 5300 mAh battery, then comes the Sigma ThL 5000 (device battery capacity is 5000 mAh), followed by the X-treme (model PQ22) - a 4500 mAh battery. Further - less hardy Prestigio MultiPhone 5503 DUO (4000 mAh) and Fly IQ4502 Era Energy 1 Quad - 4000 mAh. We will not continue, since those models that are on the list below are not of particular interest within the framework of this article.

As you can see, there are a lot of phones that have surpassed the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy. Whether there is a need for such large batteries is a moot point. But such devices are definitely in demand.

What are high capacity batteries?

However, there is another solution for those who would like to continue using their favorite smartphone or tablet, despite small capacity his batteries. We are talking about batteries with high capacity. The principle of their operation is that they are initially able to retain a greater charge than original device, despite the fact that they are sold for specific phone models.

The high-capacity battery is not made by the smartphone manufacturer, but most likely by a third-party company and sold under a different brand. It fits perfectly with the model indicated in its specifications, but sometimes it may have different dimensions (compared to the original battery). In this case, such a battery will be designed in the form back cover for phone. Due to its use, the device will become slightly thicker.

A high-capacity battery is used by those who really do not have enough standard charge for the device before it completely runs out. It allows you to significantly extend the operation of any gadget. For example, ZeroLemon batteries for some models can power your phone up to three times longer than the original accessory. Agree, such a difference will be noticeable.

Battery cases and Power Bank"

In addition to high-charge batteries, there are also other solutions to the problem of low battery life. These are portable chargers (so-called Power Bank"i) and battery cases.

The first ones look like full-fledged portable gadgets, which have a large and capacious battery (for example, 20,000 mAh). You can use it to charge anything - from a pocket player to a laptop. Accordingly, the charge of such a device will last as many times as its capacity exceeds the battery capacity of a phone, player or laptop. Let's put it simply: to charge an iPhone, a Power Bank can be used up to 10 times. After this, it will need to be charged from the mains in order to be able to carry out the operation again.

Another option is cases that have a built-in battery. Their capacity ranges from 2000-3000 mAh, which allows you to charge your phone, on average, once. But such an accessory, in addition to extending the operating time of the device, also performs another useful function - it protects and decorates your smartphone.

How to extend the operating time of the device?

In general, in order not to buy anything, you can use additional tips on how to save battery power on your device. This is especially true if you have a phone whose large battery capacity allows you to do this.

You need to start by disabling all unnecessary services (mobile data transfer, Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth module). All this “draws” the battery charge the most.

Next, you need to pay attention to the backlight of the smartphone. The screen is the mechanism whose operating costs can also be called one of the most significant. By reducing its brightness, you will extend the phone's operation without any problems.

Finally, pay attention to your work operating system. Try turning off visual effects on your device, close unnecessary applications running in the background.

All this will also help the smartphone work longer.

Fair, not overpriced and not underestimated. There should be prices on the Service website. Necessarily! without asterisks, clear and detailed, where technically possible - as accurate and concise as possible.

If spare parts are available, up to 85% of complex repairs can be completed in 1-2 days. Modular repairs require much less time. The website shows the approximate duration of any repair.

Warranty and responsibility

A guarantee must be given for any repairs. Everything is described on the website and in the documents. The guarantee is self-confidence and respect for you. A 3-6 month warranty is good and sufficient. It is needed to check quality and hidden defects that cannot be detected immediately. You see honest and realistic terms (not 3 years), you can be sure that they will help you.

Half the battle is Apple repair- this is the quality and reliability of spare parts, so a good service works with suppliers directly, there are always several reliable channels and your own warehouse with proven spare parts for current models, so that you do not have to waste extra time.

Free diagnostics

This is very important and has already become a rule of good manners for service center. Diagnostics is the most difficult and important part of the repair, but you don't have to pay a penny for it, even if you don't repair the device based on its results.

Service repairs and delivery

2. you give to Macbook repair an expert in the field of Mac repairs. He knows all the secrets of these devices

Technical literacy

If you ask a question, a specialist should answer it as accurately as possible.
So that you can imagine what exactly you need.
They will try to solve the problem. In most cases, from the description you can understand what happened and how to fix the problem.

There are batteries with increased capacity on the battery market.
These are batteries whose capacity has been increased relative to the standard capacity of the original batteries that come with phones.

The production of batteries with increased capacity is carried out by third-party manufacturers, since phone manufacturers are simply not interested in increasing the operating time of their products; this requires resource, time and other costs.
But users have demand - so other battery manufacturers have taken up the matter.

As a rule, batteries with increased capacity are produced only for those cell phone models that are popular. Otherwise, their production is simply not profitable. Therefore, if you are buying a mobile phone and counting on such a battery, take this point into account.

Now about the capacity.
Battery manufacturers vary. And their “honesty” also varies.

For example, there is a standard battery for a Nokia phone with a capacity of 890 mAh.

On Aliexpress you can find a battery for the same model, but with an increased capacity of up to 2450 mAh.

There are others - with a capacity of 2600 mAh.

And all the same size!

BUT:

Increasing the battery capacity involves increasing the physical size of the battery. Because the lithium ion battery is (roughly speaking) several windings of foil with various “chemical additives”, then increasing the capacity means increasing the layers of the winding. And this increases the physical size of the battery.

Therefore, when we see the battery capacity that the manufacturer indicates on the battery label and know the standard capacity of the battery (the one that was in the phone when it was purchased), we can assume how truthfully the capacity is indicated.

In the above cases, it is obvious that Chinese manufacturers are lying. There are no nano-technologies yet that make it possible to realize several times greater capacity in the same size battery jar.
In some cases, it seems structurally possible to increase the battery capacity, but only by a small percentage of the standard. An example of this is the Craftmann battery for Nokia 6300 1200 mAh. But not 2450 or 2600.

There are examples with batteries for Apple iPhone. For example, these Chinese comrades put into the physical dimensions of a standard battery for the iPhone 6 (which has a capacity of 1810 mAh) - 1170 mAh more: 2980 mAh.

If this were true, the battery would become 1.5 times thicker and it would no longer be possible to insert it into the iPhone.
There is an example of a battery for iPhone 6 with increased capacity, but it contains no more than 10% of the standard capacity.

But not everything is so bad for those who like to significantly increase the battery life of their mobile phone.
Batteries with greatly increased capacity also exist. But they have O larger sizes and are therefore equipped with lids for specific models phones, since the standard lid will no longer close.
For example, here is an enlarged battery for Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300. The battery has twice the O The larger container is, accordingly, twice as thick as the original one and comes with a dark blue or white lid.

New arrival: BLP571 batteries for Oneplus One New arrival: batteries for Samsung Galaxy TAB A 10.1 New arrival: batteries for iPhone 8.

Hello! I think that many owners of modern gadgets are annoyed or simply don’t like the fact that the battery runs out quickly and sometimes it doesn’t last even for a day.

You can buy an additional 10,000 mAh battery and charge any devices from it. Or get by with a case with an extra battery for smartphones.

Step 1: theory

If you remember the initial physics courses, then you understand that when two or more batteries are connected in parallel, their capacity increases, and when connected in series, their voltage increases. In our case, we need the second one.

My phone's battery capacity is 1300 mAh. It was decided to double it and for this I needed to purchase another battery of the same capacity 1300 mAh. After reading a couple of articles on the Internet about lithium batteries, I found out that li-pol (lithium polymer, phone battery) and li-ion (lithium ion) have the same charging algorithm and differ only in the aggregate state of the electrolyte. The second battery was more suitable because it was thinner and easier to use. It turns out that we need li-ion battery at 1300 mAh.

Another article from the World Wide Web helped to understand the design of a phone battery. The 3 pins on it are a protection circuit that, when the battery is deeply discharged, “disconnects” it from the load. The purchased battery had a similar circuit, but with only two terminals (+ and -).

Step 2: Fabrication

It seemed to me that it would not work if you connected it immediately in parallel with the original battery, so I assembled the circuit on the purchased one and connected it to the original one in parallel in front of the microcircuit itself (circuit in the figure).

Let's flip the microcircuit and bring out 2 contacts using simple tracks from a tin can, which we simply clamp under the microcircuit.

And so, + is on our right contact. So, we will connect the batteries like this:

We fix the battery on the back side so that it does not block the camera.

Here's what happened as a result:

I fixed the contacts on the lid with a glue gun, but so that the glue did not interfere with closing the lid.

Step 3: Decoration

To protect the battery, we will make a plate from the same tin can, bend it along the edges and secure everything with electrical tape.

Conclusion:

First time craft-the battery may discharge quickly (1-2 times, maybe more), but then it will hold a charge much longer. Before all operations, the phone lasted half a day. All this provided that I used the contact, played a little Clash of clans, sat in the browser and made a few calls. Now I charge it only at night and then only 15-25 percent remains.

And most importantly, remember that you are doing this for at your own risk , I am not responsible for this!!!
