10 simple ways on how to charge your phone full in minutes and extend its battery life.

You wake up in the morning late and you have a busy schedule to attend to. You need to make calls and send text messages. You reach for your handset only to realize your phone battery isn’t full enough to push you through and time is running out. What do you do? How do you avoid such?

Majority of us have smart phones if not one and this means that we have easy access to our social media accounts (facebook, imo, tinder, instagram and twitter without forgetting our favorite whatsapp), mobile games, news, e-mail and other pretty much anywhere or anytime we need it. The principal predicament with smart phones is that since we use them so much, they frequently run out of battery quite rapidly. This means that we all bring with us power banks or spare chargers to bring to work, plug into our cars and so on. If you go on and plug your smart phone into a regular wall charger and hang around for five minutes, you will likely see a 3% or so increase in battery life.
