How to make sure my iphone 5 battery will last long term?

I have heard from friends lately that if you don't take care of your iphone battery it will not hold a charge very long when the phone gets older. Is this true? If so what can I do now while my iphone is newer to prevent my battery from going bad?

Buy a noncult device

  • Why does the last percentage of my iphone battery takes so long to charge? I have noticed that the very first percentages (1-20) of the iphone battery charges very quickly, but when it comes to the last percentage (99-100) it takes like 15 minutes to charge!
  • Long-Term Multiplayer Browser Strategy Games (Like Neptune's Pride)? A few of my friends and I all want to start playing a multiplayer strategy game between us, and we're looking for the kind of long-term games that last weeks. Browser games seem to be the best choice, but perhaps there's an iPhone or Android game that fits the bill? Neptune's Pride is almost exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, but you have to pay to be able to create a game, which isn't what I want.
  • How to make time go faster in the long term? I'm getting the new iPhone 5S at the beginning of next month, but I can't stop thinking about it. Everywhere I turn - iPhones.

  • How to make my iPhone 5 battery last a long time? So tomorrow, my friend and I are going to Hershey park. I need my iPhone to last from 6:30 am to maybe 1:00 am. I will probably send a speedy text every hour or half an hour and maybe use it on the way there. Any suggestions?
