Here are the seven best ways to preserve that all important talk time:
1) Regulate your phone's temperature.
Unless you live in the Arctic and need to protect your phone from freezing temperatures, you should consider keeping your phone out of your pocket and away from your body heat.
2) Watch your brightness.
Needless to say, your device's screen will burn through your battery, and can be responsible for up to 50% of all power consumption. Dim your screen and speed up the rate and frequency of your screen time-outs and you'll be surprised how long you prolong your battery for.
3) Call efficiency.
If you're abroad, either for business or pleasure, consider using a free conference call service to cut down on the number of calls made to co-workers and family members. After all, why speak to one person when you can speak to ten at once?
4) Turn off all unnecessary services.
Bluetooth. Wi-Fi. 3G. Any service that continuously broadcasts from your phone with eat battery at an alarming rate. Most importantly, if you're in a low- to no- 3G service area, stop your phone from constantly trying to connect to 3G (airplane mode helps).
5) Use mobile versions of websites.
Got a smartphone? You should always aim to use the mobile version of a site, which typically does away with all the battery-leeching Flash, embedded video and adverts.
6) Be serious.
During periods of waiting, say at an airport, it might be tempting to download and play a game to pass the time. But what happens when you get to your destination only to find that you've bled your battery, and you've yet to pick up a power adaptor to plug your phone? Yup – avoid games, particularly those with vibration.
7) Intelligent charging.
Most manufacturers recommend that you allow your device to completely empty of charge once a month before charging it back to 100%. And try not to leave your device plugged in after the 100% charge has been achieved.
