#1 Those hungry applications prey on your battery

"If you've ever traveled out of the country, you've probably had to turn every feature off your phone except for calling and texting. Turning off the extra features ensures your battery will last longer because there are a lot of hungry apps that are draining your battery without your realizing it", said Paul Shearing, a chemical engineer at the University College London.

"People think they figured out tricks for keeping their phone charged, but it really isn't a huge mystery. There are a lot of hungry apps on your phone, and by simply shutting them down you will save your battery life", said Shearing.

#2 Shut down the unwanted applications

"It usually take just two to three hours for a phone to completely charge, but each phone has a management system that controls the battery voltage. The software takes care of how much power and voltage is being pushed through the battery, so it doesn't matter if you leave the phone charged for three hours or eight hours."
