One simple hack to improve your battery life (for Li-ion batteries) is to use the 80:20 rule. Charge your battery to ~80% capacity and recharge it whenever it falls below 20%. Rechargeable batteries used in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and similar electronic devices are generally made of lithium-ion (Li-ion). Li-ion batteries aren’t really meant to be completely discharged before they are charged again. In fact, this practice adversely affects their longevity and is therefore counterproductive.\n
