Smartphone batteries are dying in the cold and fog; make these changes immediately and your phone will last all day..

A cold wave is currently sweeping across the country. Many parts of North India, in particular, are shrouded in fog. In this cold weather, smartphone batteries tend to drain quickly, even after being fully charged.

Lithium-ion batteries
Smartphone batteries contain lithium ions. The cold weather slows down the chemical reactions within the battery, reducing its capacity.

Battery Saver Mode
To save your smartphone's battery in the cold, iPhone users should turn on Low Power Mode, and Android users should activate Battery Saver Mode. This feature reduces battery consumption by stopping background apps and automatic downloads.

Reduce Screen Brightness
The brighter your smartphone screen, the faster the battery will drain. In foggy conditions, keep your screen brightness on manual mode. Alternatively, use the auto-brightness feature. Users with AMOLED screens should use Dark Mode.

Turn off Connectivity Options
When you don't need GPS, Wi-Fi, and other connectivity features in foggy conditions, disable them. In areas with weak or no network coverage, put your phone in Airplane Mode.

Keep your phone in your jacket or sweater pocket.
Keep your phone in your jacket or sweater pocket. You can also keep it in the inner pocket of your coat. The warmth helps maintain the battery's temperature at a normal level, preventing it from draining quickly.
