THERE’S nothing worse than realising your battery is pretty low just as you’re about to walk out the door.
Even a quick ten minute power up isn’t quite enough to keep you going for the day ahead.

In an ideal world you’ll have a power bank to sort you out on the move.
But if you don’t have one and you’re seriously short on time, there is a way to get much more juice flowing to your iPhone as you recharge.
TikToker Walter Dwight has revealed two really useful tricks to try next time you’re in this desperate situation.
Tip one is to put your iPhone in airplane mode.
This cuts off all connections and enables your device to conserve power, instead of using some up when you don’t need it.
The second trick is to turn your smartphone’s brightness right down – and locking your device.
A smartphone’s brightness is one of the biggest power usage sources, so we can see why this might help.
“Let’s say you’re about to leave your house and your phone’s about dead,” he explains.

“So you have ten minutes before your mum starts yelling at you to get in the car – and you want every last drop of juice you can get.
“It might not seem like much, but on average airplane mode and your brightness going down can increase charging speeds by about four percent.”
It won’t make a massive difference but it could provide you some crucial extra minutes.
So next time your iPhone is running low, give this a go and see if it’ll improve things.
