Today we're busting some battery myths.

今天我們要來破解一些電池的迷思。

Start the clock.

計時開始。

There is so much misinformation about smartphone batteries.

關於智慧型手機電池的謠言實在太多了。

A lot of it is rooted in old advice that isn't relevant to modern smartphones.

許多都是已經與現代智慧型手機無關的老觀念。

So I figured I'd go over the three worst pieces of battery advice that I always hear.

所以我決定來探討一下三個最常聽到、最糟的電池迷思。

Number one, let your battery drain all the way down to zero before recharging.

第一點，把手機用到完全沒電再充電。

No, you don't have to do this.

不，你不必這樣做。

It's actually worse for lithium ion batteries to be fully charged or completely discharged, so the real trick is to keep your battery somewhere in between.

其實以鋰電池而言，完全充飽或讓它完全沒電都不好，訣竅是讓電量保持在兩者之間。

Number two, leaving your phone charging overnight harms the battery.

第二點，手機充電充整夜會傷電池。

Nope, it doesn't.

不，並不會。

Modern smartphones are, well, smart enough not to overcharge their batteries.

現在的智慧型手機，嗯，已經智慧到不會過充電池。

So yeah, there's no trick here.

所以，這沒什麼訣竅。

Just plug your phone in whenever you want, and for however long you want.

想充就充，想充多久就充多久。

And finally number three, disable features like bluetooth, location services, and wifi to make your battery last longer.

最後，第三點，沒事就關掉藍牙、定位、與 wifi 來減少耗電。

This one is actually kind of true, but these technologies have gotten so much more efficient than when they were first introduced.

這一點並不完全有問題，但這些功能都已經比剛開始被推出時要來得進化許多。

The battery gains you would see are so small that it's probably not worth the inconvenience to constantly be turning these settings on and off.

你能省下的電量微乎其微，不值得不斷開開關關這些功能。

There's a lot more bad battery advice out there, but I think the important thing to remember is that smartphones are designed to be efficient about battery use.

坊間仍有許多關於電池的爛建議，但請記住，智慧型手機就是以維持電池續航力來設計的。

So stop stressing over details and just use your phone.

所以不要過度慌張，手機就是用就對了。

It's probably not worth the extra effort to constantly worry about eking out an extra few minutes of battery life.

那增加的幾分鐘電池壽命，或許並不值得這些額外的付出。

Like a friend of mine always says, is the juice even worth the squeeze?

就像我朋友說的：「何必要做吃力不討好的事？」
