10 Ways to Extend Your Laptop Battery Life

If your laptop runs out of charge too quickly, a few simple changes can stretch each charge much further. Here are ten practical tips that really make a difference.

Adjust your settings

Most battery drain comes from the screen and background activity. Start with these:

• Lower screen brightness, this is the single biggest saver
• Turn on battery saver / power saver mode
• Shorten the time before the screen sleeps
• Switch off the keyboard backlight when you do not need it

Manage apps and connections

Programs running in the background quietly eat your battery. Build a few good habits:

• Close apps and browser tabs you are not using
• Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not needed
• Quit heavy software (video editors, games) when on battery
• Unplug accessories like external drives and USB devices

Look after the battery itself

How you charge and store your laptop affects long-term battery health:

• Avoid letting it sit at 0% or 100% for long periods, somewhere in between is healthier
• Keep the laptop cool, heat is the enemy of batteries, so do not block the vents or use it on a soft bed
• Unplug the charger once it is full if you are using the laptop on the move, rather than leaving it plugged in all day
• If you are storing it for weeks, leave it around 50% charged in a cool, dry place

That makes up our ten easy steps, and most people see a noticeable improvement straight away. None of them cost a rupee, yet together they can add a meaningful amount of time to every charge.

When the battery needs replacing

Even with perfect care, every battery wears out over time. It may be time for a replacement if you notice:

• The charge drops very fast even after the tips above
• The laptop shuts down suddenly at 20, 30 or 40 percent
• The battery is swollen or the trackpad feels lifted, switch off and unplug at once, this can be a safety risk
• The system warns you to service the battery
