- Regardless of make/model, smartphone’s lithium ion batteries drain quickly.
- Since battery life technology remains stagnant, manufacturers have focused on improving cables to accelerate charge times.
- While most Android phones still charge fastest using manufacturer cables, owners of previous iPhone models should upgrade to the now-standard USB-C to Lightning cables (0-50% charge in 30 minutes).
- Although supercapacitors could enable full charges within seconds, they cause overheating.
- Don’t use cheap, 3rd party chargers (damage battery/phone).
