First off, there are ways to make your battery last longer between charges and then there are ways to prolong the life of the battery itself. Cell phones are convenient for a variety of reasons but if your cell phone battery goes dead too often, the convenience factor is definitely affected. So first lets talk about ways to make a cell phone battery last longer between charges.

Steps to make your Cell Phone Battery Last Longer If you are in an area with no service like the metro, turn your phone off. Roaming and searching for service can deplete a cell phone battery quickly. If you plan to be somewhere where you are not going to answer your phone such as a meeting, flight, or a movie theater, turn your phone off to save energy. If possible, try getting by without the vibrate function. Keep the volume of the ring tone low instead. The vibrate function can deplete your cell phone battery quickly. Back lights also use up a lot of cell phone battery power. If your phone does not have an ambient light censor, see if it will let you set the amount of time the back light stays on so it does not get used longer than necessary. One or two seconds is sufficient.

Avoid using unnecessary features when you know that you arent going to be able to charge your cell phone battery for a while. That includes taking photos with flash, which can eat up your cell phone battery quickly. Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and WIFI, which can all drain your battery. Use your phone in GSM mode as opposed to 3G/Dual mode because your battery can last much longer that way.

Tips for Prolonging Battery Life Learn more about the particular type of cell phone battery you have. Before their first use, nickel based batteries should be charged for about 16 hours while lithium ion batteries should be charged for around 5-6 hours. This will lengthen the life of the battery. Dont let your phone be exposed to high temperatures. Keeping your cell phone battery cool will prolong its life. Dont leave your phone in direct sunlight or enclosed in a parked car on a sunny day. Also try not to carry it in your pocket all the time because your body temperature can keep it warm too long. Also see if your phone has a “Battery Save option and if it does, use it. The life of your cell phone battery will increase if you turn on this option. Do yourself a favor and start following these tips so you can make the most out of your cell phone battery. Not only can these pointers prevent you from having to charge your phone so often, you can prolong the life of your cell phone battery thus save yourself the trouble of having to buy a new battery anytime soon.

It has has become an important part of daily life, and improves business and travel opportunities, whilst providing the best possible level of communication across the globe.

However, the high numbers of users are also subject to changing trends for a number of reasons including improved features, fashion and accessories. This means that upgrades are a regular occurrence, with each device being used for an estimated 12 to 18 months. This means that there is a lot of cell phone waste.

Many users are not aware of the potential damage to the environment that incorrect disposal of cell phones (celular) can cause. Incorrect disposal means throwing any cell phone away, which is the typical fate assigned to an unwanted device. However, components within it can have a terrible impact on the environment and so need special disposal. All cell phones (celular) contain persistent metals which do not degrade in the environment. They also contain bioaccumulative metals which become toxic over period of time.

For instance, cadmium which is present in a cell phone (celular) is significant enough to cause damage in small doses. It is the seventh most harmful known chemical, and is capable of causing cancer. Cell phones also contain lead which causes liver damage in adults and neurological development problems in children when entered into the bloodstream. Other hazardous substances such as nickel and mercury provide further cause for concern.

If not disposed of properly, the metals from the cell phone (celular) can leak into the environment through corrosion and cause a series of problems in the environment. If thrown away, it will go to a landfill where it will remain. As many elements do not decompose, the level of harmful toxins increases and so does the potential damage. Lithium can burn with water exposure, and so can potentially begin underground fires when present in large quantities. Any of the hazardous or poisonous substances could contaminate local water supplies or the nearby soil. If either of these is affected than the toxins enter the food chain with terrible results.

In effect, incorrect disposal of the cell phone (celular) can create a form of poisoning. The immediate effects include health problems such as genetic or reproductive defects and detrimental effects upon the nervous system and delayed general development. The long term effect is global pollution. When waste that can not be broken down properly such as that in a cell phone (celular) is decomposing it creates methane gas. Methane gas is more damaging than CO2 and so has major impact on global warming. Not many people realize that all this can be caused by disposing it in an incorrect manner.

The best way to combat cell phone (celular) damage to the environment is to recycle it by returning it to a shop. This includes the accessories also. Some shops will ensure the product is sent to developing countries for reuse. Others will reclaim the metal parts to prevent them going into a landfill. Some cell phone companies even make a charity donation for every recycled device to encourage the practice. The other possibility is that they will ensure the product is sent for proper disposal. This includes disposal of hazardous materials.

Whichever option is used, the positive side effect is that less hazardous waste goes into the environment. Now that you know the facts, make sure that you dispose of your cell phone (celular) properly and remain environmentally sound with this one simple gesture.
