Unlike cellphones of yore that were only used to make and receive calls and texts, phones today also serve as cameras, video recorders, music players, phonebooks, digital photo albums, navigators and even portable computers. Providing so many functions puts an extraordinary strain on a phone’s battery. Most cellphone/smartphone batteries today have a lifespan of approximately 500 charging cycles.
