Optimize iPhone Battery

I have been using iPhone since two months now, and I have to admit that this is an amazing piece of gadget. However I faced some issues in the beginning with the battery life of this device. So here are some tips to improve the battery backup of your iPhone.

-Set the brightness of the display to the lowest level possible, and put the auto brightness feature on
-Turn off the graphic equalizer of your iPod
-Switch off WiFi when you don't need it, as the device keeps searching for WiFi even when you are on the move, and ends up eating a lot of battery
-Turn on the auto lock feature of your iPhone

Earlier I used to get a battery backup of half a day, and I needed to completely re-charge the iPhone every night, but these points has actually helped me improve the battery back up! Further I would recommend everybody to read about the Li-ion battery information: http://www.apple.com/batteries/

For those who doesnt want to go to the link, I am copying and pasting the important stuff there:

Lithium-ion batteries pack in a higher power density than nickel-based batteries. This gives you a longer battery life in a lighter package, as lithium is the lightest metal. You can also recharge a lithium-ion battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep nickel-based batteries at peak performance.

Most lithium-ion batteries use a fast charge to charge your device to 80% battery capacity, then switch to trickle charging.

Most Important: Charge Cycle (Important for all Notebook / Mobile Phone users)

A charge cycle means using all of the battery’s power, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could listen to your iPod for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put notebook, iPod, and iPhone batteries through many charge cycles before they will only hold 80% of original battery capacity. As with other rechargeable batteries, you may eventually need to replace your battery.
