When working or moving to places without a stable power source, the use of a laptop depends entirely on the battery life. In such situations, optimizing battery life is necessary to ensure uninterrupted work. Here are effective ways to save battery to help you feel more secure when using a laptop away from the charger.
Activate battery saving mode
Most laptop lines today are equipped with Battery Saver or Eco Mode mode. When enabled, this mode will automatically adjust system settings such as reducing screen brightness, limiting image effects, and controlling the CPU's performance to optimize power consumption.
Reduced screen brightness
The screen is one of the most energy-consuming components on a laptop. Therefore, reducing the screen brightness to just enough is a simple and effective way to save the battery.
turn off unnecessary connections
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or peripheral devices such as mice, external hard drives, etc. can silently consume the battery even when not in use. When not necessary, you should turn off these connections to save energy for more important tasks.
Limit multi- tasks and background applications
Opening too much software at once will make the CPU and RAM work harder, leading to increased battery consumption. Before leaving the power source, close unnecessary applications and turn off background programs to reduce the system's load.
Keep the device cool while running
Laptops are too hot, causing fans to operate continuously to cool, which consumes a lot of electricity. You should use a laptop in an airy place, avoid placing the device on a cushion or blanket that obstructs the airflow. Regular cleaning of the device also helps increase heat generation efficiency and save battery.
Use a SSD instead of HDD
If you are using an HDD drive, upgrading to a SSD will not only help the device run smoother but also save the battery significantly. The SSD consumes less electricity, operates smoother and cooler than a traditional HDD.
Care for and charge the battery properly
Limit the battery to completely depleted before charging, instead charge when the battery is about 2030%.
Do not charge the battery continuously for a long time, especially when charging while using heavy tasks.
Discharge and fully charge the battery about 1-2 times a month to maintain performance.
