why phones die quicker in cold weather.

883 views

I left the house this morning (6am) with 100% battery life. I was outside all morning and used my phone very little but by 10am my battery life was at 37%. Why does my phone die so quickly when it’s cold? (It was 28°F this morning)

As the temperature decreases, ion diffusion decreases, and conductivity increases. This means your battery is going to discharge quicker and output less usable power per movement of ion.

The short answer is that batteries rely on chemical reactions to work, and freezing temperatures slow or stop those reactions. … In fact, cold temperatures prevent the kind of slow discharge battery ions do under room temperatures, as the engineering website Lithiumpros.com explains.Jan 4, 2018

Also when phone cools down it won’t thermal throttle performance and work at better performance levels which consumes more power
