“Take care” (About us, Peoples or Things) Help us to feel better.

How to take care about our “Connected Object” and “Batteries” ?

You might have notice today more and more “Connected Object” appears around us. These objects are very helpful. Having this object can be seen “as” sort of Pet Therapy, helping to feel fine and helping us to build confidence by possessing them.

Connected Object contain generally one type of Electrical batteries which is (LI-ION), but life long battery are quite variant depending our personal use of them.

Something to know also is caring our battery is a sustainable act and positive for the day it’s mentally helpful reminding us we did a correct action it’s like cleaning our house we feel better after. But taking care of battery is more simple than cleaning all the house we just have to know what we should do to recharge them in better way, it permit to feel better, and it doesn’t need so much of our time or energy. Only Organisation maybe.

Charging our Battery can be compare to the feeling of the Sun Light in our face on the morning. It’s quite positive and good feeling, motivation as if we were us also recharged.

Guidelines regarding Li-Ion batteries :

• First the most important guidelines is to never keep Discharge a Battery Li ION at 0% that the most important guideline more we keep battery at 0% more it reduce battery life long capacity. It reduce the capacity very much more quickly than if you keep the material charged.
• Second guideline is as much as possible try to not keep Li-Ion Battery constantly plug in electricity cause it will charge to 100% but then go to 99% and go back to 100% which is lowering also Life long capacity ( For computer it’s difficult to plug and unplug the electricity constantly some new computer do not have possibility to unplug Battery Easily also ). ( You have sometimes some option in Linux OS to select to charge the battery only after a certain percentage so for example it charge to 100% then stop charging and recharge battery only when the battery get reduce to 60% )

Some other Best practice to do :

• If you keep the connected object stored somewhere and try to keep it charge at least not less than 60% level approximately and recharge it some time to time permit to help to keep the battery more longer.
• Once a month it’s also good to discharge battery completely to 0% and recharge it completely straight away to 100%.

Something also to be careful at is the “Electrical Power Capacity” corresponding to the (Amper and Volt) written on the side of the connected object is important.

The evolution of electronics object around us permit to create material with different Power Capacity we then invented different Connection norm associate to the Volt Level, So then we cannot mix-up 12V material connection with 5v material connection.

You practically not have any possibility to mix up the connectivity regarding Volt charge 12V to a connected object of 5V is practically not possible cause of connection is now different for all material type.

But something we can mix up is regarding the “Ampere Capacity“. A 5V charger with 0.5A and 5V Charger with 2A will not have the same power and ability to recharge the battery in the same way for a connected object.

The best is to use charger and Material with the same Ampere and Volt Capacity and even sometimes better depending the brand using the same Charger furnish with your Electronic material so you are sure about the compatibility.

The other best practice is : If you cannot have the same capacity Charger of your Material related to the “Ampere“, choose a charger always more powerful regarding “Ampere” than your Material.

Like choosing Charger 5v with 1.5A or 2A for your connected object of 5V 1A the Ampere is not as the volt. Charger Ampere furnish > Material Ampere Needed

(Ampere will be adaptive to the Material but when the Charger Ampere is Higher it’s permit to adapt better than if the Charger Ampere capacity. By having more Ampere charger the power deliver will adapt to the material with the amount of Ampere Needed.

Something to know also is more there is “Ampere” more it can be dangerous for health but we have all to be careful to any “Electrical Material” we use as usual it’s not changing anything it’s just to mention to be careful anyway and not go to too high Ampere also constantly. Just as it is needed and if not a little higher is always the best never if possible lower than material need.

Mobiles and Connected objects are plan to have hopefully one day more simplicity and more normative measures. It seems in the Future there will be more normative measure to avoid to have different type of Charger for all mobile brand. I think they were talking about having same charger type for all Mobile. It will permit to reduce waste and protect sustainability avoiding to have 5 Different charger and so on..
