🔋 The Real Reason Your Battery Drains So Fast (and How to Fix It)

We’ve all been there — you unplug your phone in the morning, and by lunchtime, it’s already begging for a charger. 😩 Whether it’s your phone, tablet, or laptop, battery drain can be frustrating — but there’s usually a reason behind it.

At Techy, we help our customers understand why their battery is acting up and how to keep their devices running stronger for longer. Here’s what you need to know 👇

⚙️ 1. Background Apps Are Sneakily Draining Power

Even when you’re not actively using your device, apps continue to run in the background — updating feeds, sending notifications, and syncing data.
Quick fix:

• On iPhone → Settings > Battery > Battery Usage
• On Android → Settings > Battery > Battery Usage
  Close or restrict apps that use the most power.

🌡️ 2. Heat Is Your Battery’s Worst Enemy

Leaving your phone in the sun, under a pillow, or in a hot car can cause major battery degradation.
Quick fix: Keep your device cool and avoid using it while charging for long periods.

💡 3. Old Batteries Lose Their Strength

Over time, batteries naturally lose capacity. If your device is more than two years old, it might be time for a replacement.
Signs you need a new battery:

• Your phone dies suddenly, even at 20–30%.
• It overheats quickly.
• Charging takes forever (or doesn’t last long).
