This is why your phone battery drains in cold weather. #Shorts #Weather #BBCNews
As the cold weather grips the UK you might have noticed that these your smartphones start acting differently when you go outside did you know that the battery can drain twice as fast when you’re in the cold some phones completely freeze or even shut down the key is don’t leave your phone outside
For too long also keep it dry because as soon as it thaws out that could act like water damage most smartphones use lithium batteries which can be affected by the really hot or the really cold apple suggests keeping your phone between 0 and 35° centigrade that means that the battery will perform adequately
But the good news is if your phone has been affected by the cold then the negative effects won’t last too long

That's great for an Apple when you come from a place that the average temperatures 40°😂😂😂
BBC: When in the title we put "why" people expect an explanation of why something is happening, not just a repeat of the fact. You're good at click baity titles though, well done.
Any lithium battery in very cold areas do not charge very well, I just read an article about a Tesla charging lot in Chicago, the whole lot is full of Teslas that won’t charge.
Thanks for the advance.

Yeah, we know all that. I came here for the "why" ‽
What about for people who don't have a smartphone? 🤔 Similar situation I guess 🤔
What are you talking about woman?
Another “news” story.. for the dim
The bbc died years ago. Full of pony.
Who is she?! CUTE accent! Where's she from?! Are there more like her?! I'll bet her first name is something in ancient Scottish. Or should I say "enchent Scaw-tish"? ❤🎉
Listen to her – the Scottish have a long history of being great engineers. I once heard a British Army officer say that all Royal Navy submarines would sink if it wasn't for Scottish engineers.
"Apple suggests"… Rory has passed on his Apple fanboyism to the other Beeb journalists. Nice bit of advertising there.
What about people in Moscow
Did you know the same happens with electric cars whose range plummets or sometimes fail to charge? 😂
This will affect electric cars too?
Don’t forget your 6 W’s, BBC.
