Taking care of your Cell Phone Batteries:
It is not a good idea to leave your cell phone in your vehicle on days when it is either extremely hot or extremely cold. If you do need to leave your phone in your vehicle under extreme temps, make sure to turn your cell phone off. Do not leave your cell phone plugged into the car charger continuously because every time your vehicle is started equals a “charge cycle”. This is one of common reasons for short cell phone battery life. Should your phone become completely discharged, be sure to recharge your cell phone as soon as possible. Try to avoid leaving a battery unused for long extensions of time (two months or more). If your cell phone battery goes to long without a charge, it may not be able to recharge when needed.
