Why the Alcatel POP 2 (5) 7043E Discharges Quickly

Any smartphone requires a battery to work. Unfortunately, due to the laws of physics, humanity has not yet come up with an infinite source of energy, so the battery needs to be recharged with some frequency. A fully charged battery is able to provide the phone with energy for 6–12 hours of stable and constant operation. But in some cases Alcatel POP 2 (5) 7043E it discharges quickly, that is, it does not hold a charge for as long as the manufacturer promises. Most often, such a problem is not the result of a breakdown, but the result of the actions of the smartphone user.

Reasons for the rapid discharge of the Alcatel POP 2 (5) 7043E phone

A common reason why the battery on the Alcatel POP 2 (5) 7043E runs out quickly — we use the phone more typically than the manufacturer intended. If you read various manuals and technical maps from popular brands, you will find that the estimated working time was obtained under special conditions. Roughly speaking, the device will work for 24 hours only if you use it only for calls and keep the screen off all the time.

If a smartphone user uses it for other purposes, for example, to communicate on social networks, to play games, or to watch videos, then the working time will be inexorably reduced. Fortunately, now we have the opportunity to track which applications affect the battery of a smartphone on Android:

1. We go to «Settings».

2. Go to the section «Battery».
3. Click on «Battery charge consumption».
4. A list opens in which all applications that greatly affect the energy consumption of the smartphone will be listed. By limiting their use, you will partially or completely solve the problem with the rapid discharge of the device.

The second common reason — battery obsolescence. Each battery has a pre-calculated resource of use, which manufacturers indicate in the format of the number of full charge-discharge cycles. One of the most popular smartphones — the iPhone — has a battery life of only 500 cycles. That is, after about 1–2 years, the capacity decreases by 15-20%, and after 3–4 years it decreases by about half. As you know, the lower the capacity, the faster the smartphone will be discharged.

The third reason — battery or phone failure. The smartphone has a lot of small parts, the breakdown of which critically impacts the energy efficiency of the device. For example, the battery cable may move away, which is why the phone will stop starting at all. The battery casing may also crack or swell.
