Working
on the go and your laptop has run out of juice? 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.
Battery Case
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.
