Make your battery work out!
Just as you have to train to run the Boston Marathon, phones have to train themselves to stay fit enough to keep running.
Lithium Batteries: When you first get a phone with this kind of battery, charge it for about 8 hours immediately without using it. These batteries shouldn't lose too much charge, if you don't let them die. Every time it dies, it gets a little weaker. So charge your phone whenever it's below 30% to be safe, the lower it gets the bigger chance you have of forgetting. Make sure you keep this kind away from heat, as well. As it will reduce the battery power.
Nickel Batteries: These aren't as common in smart phones, as they aren't really as good anymore. Familiarize yourself with charge cycles, and try not to overexert these phones. Don't call or text too much, and make sure the screen locks (if it can) at all times.
