This is probably the only thing which frustrates many laptop owners: the battery. Sure, your laptop has the latest OS, mindblowing performance characteristics and just out of the factory graphics card but does it got the battery to survive for a long time? Here are some tips to get the most out of your laptop battery for longer survival till you find that plug point.
1. First and foremost, close any programs that you aren’t using right now. You can turn off other features like the Wifi, bluetooth etc. where you wont need them at all.
2. A warm sunny day and I am sure you don’t need that keyboard backlight. Whats the point in that? Turn it off as it also drains a lot of battery power.
3. Turn down your screen brightness. If you are using it mostly indoors there is no point in having maximum brightness where you can very well see the screen at half the brightness.
4. Most laptops today have the “save power” option or widely incorporated as the “Power saving mode”, enable it. This way, your laptop battery is used optimally.
5. Power off your screen if you are idle for 2 minutes or more. Its a small difference but a large one in the end.
6. Avoid powering stuff from your laptop. Charging your phone or other devices can be avoided so as to avoid draining that battery from that laptop.
7. Drain your battery completely once a month. Yes, this is needed to keep the battery for better performance.
