How to charging your phone in a hurry

So you’re leaving for an all-day outing in 30 minutes and your phone has only 22 percent of its battery left.

What do you do?

Plug it in of course, but is there anything you can do to maximize the amount of charge you’ll get in such a short time?

Sure, if you are prepared.

First, don’t use the phone when you’re charging it.

It goes without saying the screen takes up the most power, so keeping the screen off while you charge will speed things along.

Also, putting your phone in airplane mode will turn off all the radios, so your phone isn’t searching for a Wi-Fi signal or even available to take calls.

If you can, charge from a wall plug and not a computer’s USB port. Most computers don’t put out enough power to charge your phone at its fastest rate.

There are some exceptions to this rule. Current model Macintosh computers can recognize a connected iPhone and boost the USB port power to charge it faster.

Use a wall charger that can provide as much power as the phone can take. I use a charger from Anker that has five USB ports and can charge quickly from every port.

Look for a charger that’s designed to give at least 2 amps per port.

Sometimes you’ll see a charger with two USB ports and only one is labeled as providing 2 amps, which is what most tablets need to charge.

Most cellphones will charge faster when plugged into the 2 amp port.

Most of us have a charger for our cars, so make sure you keep the phone plugged in when you’re driving.

I have a car charger in my bag that has multiple USB ports, so if I’m a passenger, I can ask the driver to plug in my phone and offer other passengers a charge opportunity as well.

External batteries can save the day. Find a battery you like and slip it in your pocket when you need a boost.

Finally, There are also quick chargers on market.Quick charger Charges compatible devices faster than a standard charger.
