But even in this case, there are tricks that will bring your mobile phone back to life. People have successfully used many of them in the field.

The magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com recommends resorting to such methods as a last resort, since improper handling can lead to damage to the battery and the gadget itself.If you have the opportunity to buy a new charger or connect to other gadgets, it is better to use it.

Popular “wild” charging methods:

1. Remove the battery from the phone and hit it on a hard surface - stone, asphalt, etc. With one good hit, you can restore several percent of the charge. This method easily leads to damage to the integrity of the battery, and its further use will cause harm to the device. Think a few times before using this method and try to control the strength.
2. Heat the blade of the knife using a campfire or lighter and apply it to the phone battery. Just wait a couple of seconds. If you hold it too long, the battery will explode.
3. There are experiments online with acid-rich fruits such as apples, lemons and oranges. They even use potato tubers, but their acidity is sometimes not enough. For the experiment you will need nails and wire. Bury the first ones into the pulp as much as possible and connect them with wire. Its ends must be connected to the battery removed from the phone.
4. Direct connection method at home. Wear rubber gloves before working. Clean the end of the broken charger with a knife and expose two wires. Red is a plus, blue is a minus. Spread the ends apart. Remove the battery from the mobile phone and connect the wires to opposite terminals. Secure the structure with electrical tape. All that remains is to connect the charger to the power source.

It should be understood that alternative charging methods will allow the phone to work for several minutes or even seconds. You shouldn't expect more. But even a small phone charge can help a person out in an emergency when one call or SMS makes a difference.It's good if you don't have to resort to extreme measures, but it's better to be prepared and armed with the appropriate knowledge.
