Your smartphone doesn't like the cold.

You neither.

But the battery of this one particularly fears the negative temperatures (high temperatures too).

For optimal operation of our mobile phones, it is better to use them in an environment neither too hot nor too cold, or in temperatures between 0 and 35 ° C.

The reason for this is based on the composition of the batteries.

The latter are indeed equipped with so-called lithium-ion batteries.

They offer a very interesting autonomy / weight ratio, but they are subject to slowdowns when temperatures drop due to their operation.

Lithium-ion batteries are based on incessant chemical reactions.

When temperatures drop, these reactions become scarce.

They therefore find it difficult to supply energy to the other components of smartphones and lose autonomy.

They empty more quickly.

Apple emphasizes this on its website;

“If you use your device in a very cold environment, you may notice a decrease in battery life, but this situation is temporary.

Nothing serious

In most cases, the effects of cold on the battery of smartphones, but also on their speed are reversible.

It will suffice to keep them in a place at room temperature for them to regain their usual performance.

However, in some cases, if the smartphone is kept too long in extreme conditions, it can have sequelae.

To avoid this, it is better to keep your smartphone in an environment that is neither too hot nor too cold.

During a cold snap, put it in an inside pocket of your jacket instead.

It will thus benefit from your body heat.

When using it, avoid exposing it to freezing temperatures for too long.

Finally, if you observe a sudden decrease in its autonomy and an overall slowing down of your device, avoid heating it up too quickly by putting it on too much heat.

This could also have negative repercussions.
