How We Calculate Battery Runtime
- Battery Health Model:
- Li-ion: 0.04% capacity loss per full cycle (Apple/Samsung standards)
- Li-polymer: 0.03% loss (better heat resistance)
- Solid-state: 0.015% loss (experimental technology)
- Power Consumption Formula:
- Base = 100mA (system processes)
- + Background apps (8mA per active app)
- + Usage intensity (35mA per intensity level)
- + Display (20mA per 60Hz increment)
- + Network (25mA per generation: 4Gā5G)
- Sleep/Wake Ratio:
- Active mode: Full power consumption
- Sleep mode: 20% of base consumption
- OS Efficiency:
- iOS: 15% more efficient than baseline
- Android: Standard consumption
- Refresh Rate: 90Hz displays consume 1.5Ć more power than 60Hz, while 120Hz uses 2Ć.
Note:.
- Results assume room temperature (25Ā°C).
- Cold weather (< 10Ā°C) may reduce runtime by 15-20%.
- Heavy gaming can increase consumption by 300%.
iPhone Battery Usage Optimization Tips
- Adjust Screen Brightness: Lower brightness levels significantly reduce battery consumption on iPhones.
- Enable Low Power Mode: Activate this feature when battery is low to extend battery life.
- Check Battery Health: Monitor your battery health percentage in Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
- Disable Background App Refresh: Limit which apps can update content in the background under Settings > General.
- Turn Off Unnecessary Location Services: Control which apps access your location under Settings > Privacy.
- Use Wi-Fi Instead of Cellular Data: Wi-Fi connections typically consume less battery than cellular data.
- Update to Latest iOS: Apple regularly improves battery optimization with iOS updates.
Android Battery Usage Optimization Tips
- Use Dark Mode: Enables battery savings on OLED screens by reducing pixel illumination.
- Activate Battery Saver Mode: Extends battery life by limiting background processes and notifications.
- Restrict Background Battery Usage: Manage which apps can use battery in the background under Settings > Battery > Background restrictions.
- Disable Always-On Display: Turn off this feature to preserve battery life throughout the day.
- Optimize Auto-Sync Settings: Limit which apps automatically sync data in the background.
- Manage Connectivity Features: Turn off Bluetooth, NFC, and location services when not in use.
- Use Adaptive Battery: Let Android's AI learn your usage patterns to optimize battery consumption.
