The things today’s cell phones are capable of are mind-boggling to say the least. No longer only used as telephones, they’re called “mobile devices” now and can do nearly everything a computer can do.
 
 They can browse the web, send e-mails and other messages, create presentations, take photos, record videos, help you create presentations…  The list goes on and on and on. There are cell phones out there with projectors on them, cell phones with GPS, cell phones on which you can watch movies and read books and view x-rays.
 
 With all the impressive technologies available on cell phones today, one question begs to be asked: Why can’t they come up with a battery that lasts longer?
 
 While so many fancy accessories may be incredibly alluring, we rarely stop to think about the fact that actually putting them to use will drain the device’s battery so quickly that we’re barely able to enjoy them before the screen goes blank.  
 
 While we wait for the day when cell phone companies finally create a battery that is truly long-lasting, there are a few things you can do to prolong the working hours of the battery you have.
 
 Don’t use your phone for amusement.
 
 Playing games, scrolling through pictures, and aimlessly browsing the Internet are all great ways to suck the life out of your battery. To ensure your phone works when you need it, use it as a tool, not a game.
 
 Put the phone on ring or vibrate, not both, and keep brightness as low.
 
 Keep your phone’s sound and picture settings as simple or low as possible to avoid wasting energy.
 
 Charge your phone properly.
 
 Some batteries should be completely run down once in a while for optimum performance. Others should never be drained below 40 per cent. Research your battery type to find out which charging method is best for your phone.
