Recently I had the same with the mobile phone. I would charge it in the morning, charge it the first time by eleven, and then use it, and have to charge it a second time by dinner, and then a third time overnight.<\/p>\n<p>When batteries die that fast you have two options. Get a new phone, or replace the battery. I chose option two. I was able to get the battery replaced for 45 Euros rather than 70 CHF as I had expected and now the phone battery lasts two to three times longer. The battery isn&#8217;t able to last a full day but I use it reguarly, and I&#8217;m roaming. <\/p>\n<p>When roaming phones look either for the home network or wifi, and when they find neither they burn through a lot of power. That&#8217;s why you need healthy batteries on phones, when travelling. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to walk with an external battery, to charge the phone when needed. Recently though I encountered a serious problem. When I was driving from Switzerland to Spain I noticed that the battery was down to 28 percent, despite being plugged in to the car to charge. I was using TomTom go, Apple Maps and sharing my location. Usually those apps don&#8217;t bother the phone&#8217;s charging ability. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to drive 11+ hours, especially if the phone dies half way through. It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t know the way, it&#8217;s that with podcasts, audiobooks and gps the trip is easier. By changing the battery the phone will charge properly. If I wasn&#8217;t going home by long road trip I wouldn&#8217;t have bothered, but there are cases where a healthy phone battery are needed. Road trips are one of them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>A few weeks ago I chose to replace my apple watch series 4 with an apple watch SE because the battery was dying two to three times a day.
