What Effect Does Phone Temperature Have on Performance?

Many cell phone users don’t realize that temperature has a profound effect on how well their Android works. Both heat waves and cold snaps can negatively influence battery life and/or cell phone performance. Also, temperature threats aren’t always external. Ever notice that your phone gets hot when you are trying to run too many tasks at once? That could mean it’s overheating! To prevent this, you need to act at once, or the effects could cause long-lasting or permanent damage. If you think your Android is overheating, click here to use CPU Cooler:

This feature targets the apps that are causing your phone to heat up. By closing them, the CPU Cooler quickly lowers the internal temperature so the system can run at its optimal capacity and so your battery isn’t affected. To find out more about how hot and cold temperatures can affect your Android, keep on reading.

It’s Getting Hot in Here

Phone batteries are safest if they’re kept at around 68°F to 86°F. Most Androids have one of two battery types: a Lithium-ion battery or a Lithium-Polymer battery. As it turns out, higher heats especially affect Lithium-ions batteries. These batteries tend to encounter a problem called “thermal runaway.”

The simplistic explanation of thermal runaway is that internal heating prompts even more temperature rises within your Android, which ultimately leads the device to overheat. If pressure builds up inside the battery, the battery could then swell, release toxic chemicals, or even explode. To prevent these damaging effects, you should keep your phone out of direct sunlight. Also, don’t leave it in a parked car during summer, and never use your phone near a strong heat source, like the stove burner or a space heater.

Don’t Give Your Android the Cold Shoulder

Despite being more resistant to chilly temperatures, your Android is also at risk during winter’s coldest months. Of course, if you live in Florida or California, you can skip right over this information. But for everyone in the Northern U.S., these details could be useful to you. Once again, Lithium-ion batteries are more vulnerable than Lithium-Polymer batteries. Extreme cold can cause sudden battery drain and even lead a phone to shut off completely. If you’re really unlucky, battery chemicals can begin to emit discharge, and some can even freeze. So, be sure to keep your Android away from winter’s freezing touch!
