Working on the go and your laptop has run out of life? This problem plagues most laptops as they tend to lose their battery capacity over time. But worry not, as there are several ways to improve laptops' battery life without too much trouble.
So,
here are 6 ways to improve your laptop's battery life.
Display
Similar
to phones, laptop screen is also a power guzzler. Keep the brightness as low as
possible. Also, if you also have keyboard backlighting, turn it off.
External
devices
Any
external device plugged in the USB port constantly draws power from your
laptop. Removing them after use conserves battery.
Overheating
Overheating
leads to the internal fans to run faster - which in turn consume more battery.
Use a laptop cooler to keep the temperature at bay.
Hibernate
Instead
of putting your computer on standby, choose to hibernate - it saves the state
of your computer and shuts down the computer and saves battery.
Windows
power plans
Laptops
running windows have built-in power plan settings. You can choose various items
such as display brightness, when to turn off the display/hard-drives and USB
power. Use these to improve your laptop battery life.
BatteryCase
This
application records the battery discharge cycle and also shows a detailed
battery status including consumption, manufacturer, wear level etc. It also
shows CPU and hard drive temperature to indicate any overheating.
