Tired of paying expensive electricity bills? So, it’s high time to rethink each of your daily actions, especially when it comes to recharging your smartphone’s battery. We tell you more.
The cost of living continues to rise. In 2022, more than ever, it is important to adopt new habits to avoid excessively inflating your electricity bill. If your laptop battery is empty, charge it wisely.
First of all, according to the Ecowatt site, put online by the French government and developed by RTE, it is preferable to avoid recharging between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., but also between 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., two times when the network is heavily used. . Also take care to unplug your phone from the charger and power outlet when it is fully charged. In addition to prolonging the life of your battery, you avoid consuming electricity unnecessarily.
Also, never charge your phone overnight. Your smartphone needs about 2 hours to be charged to 100%. So there’s no need to leave it plugged in while you’re sleeping soundly.
Another tip: put your smartphone in airplane mode when it’s plugged in. In addition to charging your phone faster, the battery won’t be drained by unwanted apps or notifications. Finally, according to BFMTV, recharging your smartphone with a wireless socket or platform would be a very bad idea. According to several studies, this gadget would consume almost 50% more than a traditional outlet.
What about other digital devices?
According to Ecowatt, it is essential to turn off your computer completely at the end of the day, not to leave any device in standby mode and even to completely turn off your box in case of absence. It’s up to you now!
