7 Tips to Maximize Your Laptop's Battery Life

1. 1.Each laptop has a battery saver or economy mode that puts it in low power consumption mode. The processor, memory and hard drive all play a role in reducing power consumption. All of these components start to consume less power and perform better. This will allow you to prolong the time until the battery runs out.

2. Dim the screen brightness
You should reduce the brightness of your laptop's display, just like with any other electronic device. If your battery is nearing its end, you can reduce the brightness to its lowest setting. Modern laptop screens use LEDs for backlighting. They do consume power.

3. Turn off unused devices
Turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth unless you are actively using them. These radio devices consume a lot of battery power and should be turned off. You can also turn off peripherals that are not being used, such as a high-performance graphic card (though you won't use it for a presentation), one to three USB ports (most laptops have two to three ports so you can turn one off), or any optical drives that aren't being used.

4. Lower the Resolution
High resolution screens on modern laptops draw lots of battery power. It is possible to reduce the resolution to a simpler one if you need more time.

5. 5.
If you don't own a laptop that has a backlight on the keyboard, turning it off will increase the battery life.

6. 6.
Your battery is not only being consumed by hardware, but also the software. You can safely close any background programs, such as sound, music, and video players, that are consuming your battery.

7. Don't Let Your Laptop Overheat
Are you using your laptop while lying down on a blanket, pillow, or bed? You could endanger the battery and its internal components by using your laptop on a blanket, pillow, or bed. Excessive heat can also cause damage and shorten battery life. If you feel lazy, you can use a portable table such as a lapdesk to place your laptop.

Dust and other debris can build up on fans, ventilation ports and air vents, which block heat escape. Compressing air can be used to clean out the vents and improve the performance of the laptop.
