So make sure you shut down anything that is running in the background so it doesn’t affect your phone from charging efficiently.

Does dropping my cell phone down affect its battery life?

Dropping your cell phone can potentially affect its battery life, but not in the way that you might expect. The impact of the drop on the battery wlll depend on numerous factors, such as the severity of the drop, the type of phone you have, and the condition of the battery before the drop.
