Cellphone Batteries

    

    

    Cell phone batteries have become an important accessory in the spare department! With the number of cell phone users expected to reach 2.6 billion by 2019, it is no wonder that cell phone batteries have become a lucrative product in the consumer electronics industry. "Most of the mobile market growth can be attributed to the increasing popularity of smartphones". With the online world becoming more popular and important in people's lives, it is no wonder smartphones are evolving and becoming more complex at an unprecedented rate. With this complexity, the demand for the service industry for cell phones. Many businesses that sell phones in the market service them as well! Battery installation is one of the many services that cell phone shops, booths and resellers provide. To the consumer, it is easy and convenient to get their cell phone batteries installed from their original seller. Some choose to buy batteries online and install them themselves, but this may damage phone parts and batteries while disassembling the phone. Hence, battery education is important, which covers battery life, charger type and battery installations.

    First of all, one can avoid surprises after purchasing an expensive gadget if he/she check the features of the battery for that particular model of cell phone. All online retailers/wholesalers list battery specifications on their website. These specifications include the battery capacity, model, compatibility, battery life, etc. The battery capacity, which is listed in mAh (milliampere per hour), is a unit of electric charge over time transferred by a steady current of one ampere flowing for an hour! All batteries for different smartphones have different battery capacities. Hence, this unit is important in case one does not know if their phone model is compatible with that battery! Next, listed under specifications is model compatibility. One can verify if their cell phone model listed at the back of the phone is compatible with their battery. Also, listed under features is the practical cellphone battery life. It shows the talk time for that cell phone as well as standby time! You may also check the video and audio playback limit for a fully charged phone. For example,  the iPhone 11 Pro Max gives users twelve to twenty hours of video playback and about 80 hours of audio playback when fully charged. This information is crucial in preventing cell phone shutdowns from low battery, especially in an important call or when using a GPS on the phone while driving, for example! Overall, these compatibility and description listings not only add to the knowledge of batteries but also help in the purchase of battery chargers.

   

    Secondly, the knowledge of batteries is crucial in the consumer battery market. First of all, there are all kinds of wall plug-ins, USB chargers, and power cases available in the market. Not all of these may be compatible with your phone. Though there are universal chargers but they too are compatible with a specific type of phone, like a smartphone with a slide keyboard. Charging a phone with the wrong charger may easily damage electronics in the phone. Next, battery chargers and power cases may range from $10 to $30 and above. The usual talk time and battery usage may be a good start for pre-purchase research. Not to mention, indoor and outdoor cell phone usage may also come in handy when purchasing either a wall plug-in charger or a power bank, for example. Also, many cell phone user manuals and applications show users how to check for battery power used by different device activities such as camera, apps, etc. To add, some consume more power than others, reducing average battery life. Based on cell phone usage and average battery life, one may spend an appropriate amount on cell phone battery chargers and spare batteries. For example, a power case may extend battery life by a couple of hours, which is crucial for travel. Overall, knowing batteries before a wholesale or retail purchase could be a matter of profit and loss.

   

    Last but not least, one needs to be careful while installing cell phone batteries! To start, for most smartphones, one only needs to pop the back cover to install the battery without the need for phone disassembly. However, some phones, like iPhones, might need a professional technician to install the batteries if one is to prevent cell phone damage. Also, the technicians carry appropriate tools for different cell phone models, which brings in savings for disassembly tools. Though many websites list repair and disassembly manuals and guides, it is very easy to lose a screw or two and even to break parts with a pry bar. For example, a plastic pry bar has limited applications! Metal pry bars, tweezers and other sharp objects may damage phone parts, components, and leave dents and scratches from improper use! Screwdrivers may puncture batteries tightly sealed with adhesive strips as a result of improper use! Acrylic pry bar on the other side is scratch-proof and less likely to puncture or damage cellphone batteries, cell phones and like wise. Not to mention, some even break their screens while installing batteries as the phone slips out of their hands. Thus, it's crucial to battery installation that one has knowledge about the batteries.

    In conclusion, though the online retailers have battery descriptions and specifications listed on their website, not all cell phones are listed! Consumers who buy cell phones online are often not provided with this information! Hence, manufacturers provide a cell phone battery data sheet with all battery specs listed.
