Taking care of your Cell Phone Batteries:

It is not a good idea to leave your cell phone in your vehicle on days when it is either extremely hot or extremely cold. If you do need to leave your phone in your vehicle under extreme temps, make sure to turn your cell phone off. Do not leave your cell phone plugged into car charger continuously because every time your vehicle is started equals a “charge cycle”. This is one of common reasons for short cell phone battery life. Should your phone become completely discharged, be sure to recharge your cell phone as soon as possible. Try to avoid leaving a battery unused for long extensions of time (two months or more). If your cell phone battery goes to long without a charge, it may not be able to recharge when needed.

Following these few tips will help extend life of your cell phone batteries to assure that your cell phone will be accessible when you most need it. If you are like me, that means all of time! It is hard to remember a time before cell phones!

When purchasing your new cell phone battery, ask if they give a warranty should your cell phone battery not last as long as expected or should any other problems arise.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer):

Almost all cell phone batteries can be purchased as OEM which simply means, they are manufactured by same company that made your cell phone. OEM cell phone batteries are usually priced higher then their after market choice, due to perceived value of buying a brand name product.

Keeping these few cell phone battery tips in mind should help making your new cell phone and cell phone battery choice that much easier!
