<p>If your WhatsApp gets hacked, you will unfortunately end up being locked out of WhatsApp. The Hacker will enable the two-step verification PIN. You will then need to wait 7 days before you can sign in again without the two-step verification PIN.</p>
<p>There are many tactics to get the two-step verification PIN. Here is one example doing the rounds: The <em>victim “Marlin”</em> will receive a message from a random person or from someone on his contact list. The <em>hacker “Neeren”</em> wants to borrow money to lend to someone else. Marlin does not have any money to lend. So, Hacker Neeren pretends to get the money elsewhere but by &#8220;mistake&#8221; sent Marlin the 6 digit OTP. Marlin who is feeling bad that he could not lend any money, then sends the OTP to Hacker Neeren who then steals Marlins WhatsApp. Hacker Neeren messages Marlins contacts pretending to be Marlin and wanting to borrow money from them. If money is not given then Hacker Neeren tries to steal their WhatsApp, as he did to Marlin. The cycle continues. NEVER SHARE OTP’S WITH ANYONE. Don’t be like Marlin!</p>
<p>Here are seven tips to secure your WhatsApp and prevent unauthorized access. The first tip is the <strong><em>MOST IMPORTANT</em></strong> and should be enabled on your smartphone immediately. It will only take about 60 seconds to set up but it can save you a lot of stress. Not only can it protect you but also your friends and family from losing their hard-earned money and getting their Whatsapp hacked.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Enable Two-Step Verification</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1.-WhatsApps-two-step-verification-settings.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="768" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1.-WhatsApps-two-step-verification-settings.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13979" style="width: 179px; height: auto;" srcset="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1.-WhatsApps-two-step-verification-settings.jpg 512w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1.-WhatsApps-two-step-verification-settings-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a></figure>
</div>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security by requiring a 6-digit PIN whenever you register your phone number with WhatsApp again. Once enabled, you will need this PIN to add WhatsApp on another device. To help you remember this PIN, WhatsApp will occasionally ask you to enter it when you open the app.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>How to Enable It:</strong></p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Open WhatsApp</li>

<li>Go to <strong><em>Settings</em></strong> &gt; <em><strong>Account</strong> </em>&gt; <strong><em>Two-step verification</em></strong></li>

<li>Tap <strong>Enable</strong>, then enter a 6-digit PIN</li>
</ul>

<div class="wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">*<em>Optionally, you can add an email address for recovery</em></p>
</div>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Be Cautious of Verification Codes</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If someone asks you for your WhatsApp 6-digit verification code, it&#8217;s a scam.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/3.-fake-WhatsApp-message-asking-for-verification-code.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="512" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/3.-fake-WhatsApp-message-asking-for-verification-code.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13981" style="width: 185px; height: auto;" srcset="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/3.-fake-WhatsApp-message-asking-for-verification-code.jpg 512w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/3.-fake-WhatsApp-message-asking-for-verification-code-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/3.-fake-WhatsApp-message-asking-for-verification-code-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/3.-fake-WhatsApp-message-asking-for-verification-code-100x100.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a></figure>
</div>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Never share your code</strong> with anyone — not even friends or family.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Real-World Trick:</strong> Hackers may pose as someone you know and claim they &#8220;accidentally sent their WhatsApp code to your number.&#8221; Many people have fallen for this trick.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Don’t Fall for Phishing Links</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Avoid clicking on suspicious links sent via WhatsApp or email. These links can lead to phishing sites that steal your login information or install spyware on your device.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2.-phishing-link-red-flags-highlighted.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2.-phishing-link-red-flags-highlighted.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13980" style="width: 208px; height: auto;" srcset="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2.-phishing-link-red-flags-highlighted.jpg 768w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2.-phishing-link-red-flags-highlighted-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2.-phishing-link-red-flags-highlighted-672x448.jpg 672w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></a></figure>
</div>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tips:</strong></p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Check URLs carefully — look for misspellings or unusual domains/website names.</li>

<li>Android users should not install APK files from untrusted sources.</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Log Out of Suspicious Devices</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Check which devices are logged into your WhatsApp via **Linked Devices**. These linked devices can send and receive messages, view chat history, and share media.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/4.-WhatsApp-linked-devices-screen-suspicious-session-removed.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="512" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/4.-WhatsApp-linked-devices-screen-suspicious-session-removed.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13982" style="width: 182px; height: auto;" srcset="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/4.-WhatsApp-linked-devices-screen-suspicious-session-removed.jpg 512w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/4.-WhatsApp-linked-devices-screen-suspicious-session-removed-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/4.-WhatsApp-linked-devices-screen-suspicious-session-removed-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/4.-WhatsApp-linked-devices-screen-suspicious-session-removed-100x100.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a></figure>
</div>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Steps:</strong></p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Open WhatsApp</li>

<li>Tap the three dots and select &#8220;<strong><em>Linked devices</em></strong>&#8220;</li>

<li>If you see an unrecognized device, tap on it and choose &#8220;<strong><em>Log out</em></strong>&#8220;</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Lock WhatsApp with Fingerprint or Face ID</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can add biometric protection to WhatsApp on your device, ensuring that only you can access the app. This way, if someone gets hold of your smartphone, they won’t be able to access your WhatsApp messages or Link their device to your WhatsApp</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/fingerprint-lock-whatsapp.png"><img decoding="async" width="1493" height="865" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/fingerprint-lock-whatsapp.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13988" style="width: 213px; height: auto;" srcset="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/fingerprint-lock-whatsapp.png 1493w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/fingerprint-lock-whatsapp-300x174.png 300w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/fingerprint-lock-whatsapp-1024x593.png 1024w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/fingerprint-lock-whatsapp-768x445.png 768w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/fingerprint-lock-whatsapp-1080x626.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1493px) 100vw, 1493px" /></a></figure>
</div>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>How to Set It Up:</strong></p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Go to <strong>Settings</strong> &gt; <strong>Privacy</strong> &gt; <strong>Fingerprint Lock</strong> (Android) or <strong>Screen Lock</strong> (iPhone)</li>

<li>Enable it and set a time frame for auto-lock</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Be Smart About Public Wi-Fi</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Using free public Wi-Fi can make it easier for hackers to intercept data on your device. While you may think that it is free Wi-Fi and it wont hurt to use it, this presents numerous security risks.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/6.-hacker-trying-to-access-devices-on-public-Wi-Fi.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="512" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/6.-hacker-trying-to-access-devices-on-public-Wi-Fi.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13984" style="width: 185px; height: auto;" srcset="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/6.-hacker-trying-to-access-devices-on-public-Wi-Fi.jpg 512w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/6.-hacker-trying-to-access-devices-on-public-Wi-Fi-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/6.-hacker-trying-to-access-devices-on-public-Wi-Fi-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/6.-hacker-trying-to-access-devices-on-public-Wi-Fi-100x100.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a></figure>
</div>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Recommendations:</strong></p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Avoid accessing sensitive apps on open networks (especially banking apps)</li>

<li>Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) for safer browsing</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Watch for Unusual Activity</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If your friends begin receiving strange messages from you or you suddenly find yourself logged out, it could indicate that your account has been compromised.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/7.-receiving-suspicious-WhatsApp-messages-from-a-friend.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="512" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/7.-receiving-suspicious-WhatsApp-messages-from-a-friend.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13985" style="width: 168px; height: auto;" srcset="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/7.-receiving-suspicious-WhatsApp-messages-from-a-friend.jpg 512w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/7.-receiving-suspicious-WhatsApp-messages-from-a-friend-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/7.-receiving-suspicious-WhatsApp-messages-from-a-friend-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/7.-receiving-suspicious-WhatsApp-messages-from-a-friend-100x100.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a></figure>
</div>

Our comprehensive range of services covers everything your iPhone might need.

That&#8217;s why we only use the best available replacement parts in our repairs. Unlike most repair centres who buy the lowest grade and cheapest part available, only to offer you a cheap and inferior repair. We pay a bit more for these replacement parts due to our suppliers gladly willing to swap out the part under warranty, in the rare occasion it has a manufacturers fault.&nbsp; These parts are designed to seamlessly integrate with your iPhone, providing the same level of functionality and performance you enjoyed when your device was brand new.<o:p></o:p></p>

							<p>In an age where smartphones are indispensable, a dying battery can spell disaster for your daily routine. Constantly charging the battery while using the iPhone can be annoying. Add to that, at times there is something that all people in South Africa love to hate, Loadshedding. When your battery is low and you need to use your iPhone what do you do? Not everyone can afford a Powerbank or has a vehicle that they could use to charge their iPhone.</p><p>As an Apple iPhone user, you might have encountered the dilemma of whether to entrust your beloved iPhone to professionals or take matters into your own hands. In this comprehensive guide, brought to you by North Coast Cellular, we delve into the pros and cons, of professional and DIY iPhone battery replacement and repairs.</p><p></p><h2>The Pros of Professional iPhone Battery Repair Services</h2><h3><span>Expertise and Experience</span></h3><p>Professional repair technicians at North Coast Cellular possess the technical know-how to handle intricate iPhone components. Their many years of experience ensures that your device is in capable hands, minimizing the risk of further damage during repair process.</p><h3><span>Quality Parts</span></h3><p>Reputable repair services utilize genuine (when available) and high-quality replacement batteries. These batteries come with warranties, giving you peace of mind about their performance and longevity.</p><h3><span>Efficiency and Convenience</span></h3><p>Opting for professional repair means you don&#8217;t have to navigate the repair process on your own. Skilled technicians can swiftly diagnose the issue and have your iPhone up and running in a fraction of the time it might take for a DIY attempt.</p><p></p><h2>The Cons of Professional iPhone Battery Repair Services</h2><h3><span>Cost</span></h3><p>Professional repair services can be relatively expensive, especially if you&#8217;re getting a battery replacement for a newer iPhone model. Labour costs and the use of genuine or replacement parts contribute to the overall expense.</p><h3><span>Time Constraint</span></h3><p>Scheduling an appointment, dropping off your device, and waiting for the repair to be completed might disrupt your daily routine. This option might not be suitable for those who require an immediate solution.</p><p></p><h2>The Pros of DIY iPhone Battery Repair</h2><h3><span>Cost Savings</span></h3><p>DIY repair kits are often more affordable than professional services, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious individuals.</p><h3><span>Control Over the Process</span></h3><p>Repairing your iPhone battery on your own gives you complete control over the process. You can choose the replacement battery, tools, and follow the steps at your own pace.</p><h3><span>Learning Opportunity</span></h3><p>Engaging in DIY repair can be a valuable learning experience. You get to understand the internal components of your iPhone better, which might come in handy for future troubleshooting.</p><p></p><h2>The Cons of DIY iPhone Battery Repair</h2><h3><span>Skill and Knowledge Requirement</span></h3><p>Repairing a delicate device like an iPhone requires a certain level of technical skill and knowledge. Tools needed to open the iPhone is an added cost. Mishandling components can lead to irreversible damage, potentially turning a minor issue into a major one. Many people have cracked their LCD screens, cut the flex cables that control charging, volume or the speakers while some have pierced the batteries which then burnt the motherboards. A simple thing like static can cause your iPhone not to switch on which will result in all of your data lost forever.</p><h3><span>Warranty Voidance</span></h3><p>Opening your iPhone for repair might void your warranty, which could be a concern if your device experiences unrelated issues down the line.</p><h3><span>Quality and Safety Concerns</span></h3><p>Replacement batteries vary in terms of quality, and some low-cost options might not meet safety standards. Subpar batteries could potentially lead to longer charging times, quick discharging/draining, overheating, swelling up or other safety hazards.</p><p></p><h2>Conclusion:</h2><p>In the realm of iPhone battery repair, choosing between professional services and the DIY approach involves a careful consideration of pros and cons. While DIY repairs can be cost-effective and offer a learning opportunity, the risk of damage and voided warranties are substantial. On the other hand, professional repair services from <a href="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/">North Coast Cellular</a> provide expertise, convenience, and quality assurance, albeit at a higher cost. Assess your own skill level and the urgency of the repair to make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and preferences. Remember, your iPhone&#8217;s longevity and performance are worth the investment in reliable <a href="https://repair.wiki/w/IPhones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">repair services</a>.</p>						</div>

							<p><span>A customer, Mr F Khan from Durban, came to our store in July with a badly damaged Samsung Galaxy A3. He claimed that he had put his phone on charge in his bedroom, only to return about 30 minutes later to a smoke-filled room. Upon closer inspection he found that the device was in fact burning with lots of smoke and a bad odour emanating from it. He quickly switched the power off &amp; disconnected the cable from the charging adaptor. He then put the phone on the tiled floor by holding the USB cable that was still connected in the charging port.  The battery and rear housing was melted. The LCD Screen was badly burnt on the side where the battery was. The charging cable &amp; USB port however had no signs of being burnt.</span></p>						</div>

							<p>When we did a visual assessment of the device we could see that it needed a LCD Screen replacement, battery &amp; rear housing. We still had not tested the motherboard and the USB charging port. Instead of quoting him to repair (we have repaired cellphones in worse conditions before) we advised him to take his device directly to Samsung Smart Care Centre in Queen Nandi Drive, Durban. He was reluctant at first because his device was more than two years old so it was past its warranty period but he eventually heeded our advice and took his phone to Samsung.</p><p>At first when they heard that he wanted to book in a cellphone that was older than 24 months as a warranty repair, they declined and said that he will need to pay for the repair. Once the consultant saw the device in its burnt condition, the manager was called to assist.  The manager assured Mr Khan that they will book in the device &amp; give him feedback as soon as possible.</p><p><span>After the device was assessed by Samsung, the handset was immediately replaced under warranty. This was done within 6 days. Big thumbs up to Samsung for honouring their warranty even after the two years had expired and handling this claim with speed and professionalism. Mr Khan even brought his replacement cellphone into our store to thank us for advising him to take his device straight to Samsung and not just quoting him to repair it and make money off him.</span></p>						</div>

Samsung did take responsibility for the flammable phones, and eventually extended a recall to all Samsung Galaxy Note 7 units worldwide. They replaced the devices but then even those devices were recalled due to them having the very same problem. About 2.5 million units were made which eventually was a total loss.</span></p><p>While there have been a few rogue incidents of other Samsung phones catching fire, none have been recalled like the Note 7.

It will prompt you when you reach 20 percent battery to go into low power mode. This temporarily reduces power consumption until you can fully charge your phone. When this is on, mail fetch, Hey Siri, background app refresh, automatic downloads, and some visual effects are reduced or turned off.</p><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1229" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/FullSizeRender-1-450x224.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="224" srcset="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/FullSizeRender-1-450x224.jpg 450w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/FullSizeRender-1.jpg 600w, https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/FullSizeRender-1-100x50.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></p><ol start="3"><li><h3><strong>Check apps that are draining your battery life</strong></h3></li></ol><p>While you’re in settings, you can also check to see which apps use the most battery life. If you start seeing an app showing up there consistently, you’ll know that running the app is costing you battery life. You may want to consider deleting the app or adjusting some of the settings.</p><ol start="4"><li><h3><strong>Stay away from apps that promise to save your battery</strong></h3></li></ol><p>The worst offenders for apps that drain battery life are apps that claim they will save your battery.</p><p>Some apps say they are saving your battery, but really they are running in the background using your battery and running adware. So they give you ad pop-ups, they ask you if you want to buy a certain product and really they are just using you for a way to make money.</p><ol start="5"><li><h3><strong>Pay attention to sleep mode and brightness</strong></h3></li></ol><p>You can turn your brightness up or down, and the lower it is, then the longer your battery is going to last.</p><p>Also considering changing how long your screen stays on before it auto-locks.</p><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-1227" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/bright.png" alt="" width="198" height="322" /></p><ol start="6"><li><h3><strong>Using your phone as a hotspot</strong></h3></li></ol><p>Using your Smartphone as a mobile hotspot will drain your battery life very quickly. This also heats up the phone which can damage the battery and reduce its life span. Only use your phone as a hotspot for a short period of time and remember to switch of your hotspot once you’re done.</p><ol start="7"><li><h3><strong>Consider getting a portable charger/ power bank</strong></h3></li></ol><p>Battery power banks are a great way to charge your phone if you’re on the go, especially a portable charger that will charge your device multiple times.</p><p>Look for charging devices that have charging cables built in. Also, pay particularly close attention to the number of milliamps on the device. For example, an iPhone 7 has 3,000 milliamp battery, so if a charger has a 3,350 milliamp battery it will likely charge your phone around one and a half to two times.</p><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-1228" src="https://www.northcoastcellular.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cargador-Portable-Ipower-20000mah-Emergency-Battery-Power-Bank-External-Batery-Batterie-Externe-Powerbank-For-Samsung-Apple-450x299.jpg" alt="" width="421" height="267" /></p><ol start="8"><li><h3><strong>Notifications, vibrate mode</strong></h3></li></ol><p>Turning off notifications and sound can also provide big battery savings.</p><p>Switch off notifications that you don’t need to see every five minutes or at least switching your settings so that your phone doesn’t vibrate with every notification. Setting your phone to vibrate for every text drains more battery than when it is on silent or loud mode.</p><ol start="9"><li><h3><strong>Keep your operating system up to date</strong></h3></li></ol><p>The newest updates they’re sending out, are going to be going for efficiency and optimization, so if you’re holding back on that update because you’re afraid it is going to change things too much, you should go ahead and push it through because that is going to give you those new settings that iPhone and Android are coming up with.</p><ol start="10"><li><h3><strong>Overcharging the battery</strong></h3></li></ol><p>Charging your phone for a longer period of time doesn’t necessarily make your battery last longer. Avoid letting your phone discharge to 0%, rather maintain a sweet spot between 20%-80%.</p><p>Not all devices may be compatible with a fast charger. the fast charger has a higher voltage and may damage your charging circuit and battery in your device.</p>						</div>
