When you have to work continuously on a laptop without charging, battery optimization is very necessary to ensure that work is not interrupted due to the device running out of battery. Here are the most effective tips to help you increase your laptop battery life.
Reduced screen brightness
The display is the most energy-consuming component on a laptop. You should reduce the screen brightness to a low enough level so as not to cause eye strain.
turn on battery saving mode
Most Windows laptops have a battery-saving mode that limits background applications, reduces CPU performance, and turns off unnecessary features.
Cut off or reduce unnecessary connections
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connections, or peripheral devices such as mice, external hard drives consume a lot of battery. If not in use, you should turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or disconnect these devices to save battery.
Application management and background processing
Close unnecessary applications and check the background running process with Task Manager (press Ctrl + Shift + Esc). Turning off underground processes or software you are not using will save you significantly in energy.
Reduced CPU performance and graphics effects
You can adjust the CPU performance by going to: Setup > System > Pin > Setup performance and battery, choose a lower performance level to reduce energy consumption. In addition, turning off graphic effects such as transparent windows and animation also helps save battery.
Reduce screen shutdown time and sleep mode
Set the screen to automatically turn off after about 1-3 minutes of inactivity and put the computer into sleep mode when not working. This will reduce battery loss when you temporarily do not use a laptop.
Update drivers and operating systems
New drivers and operating system updates often optimize performance and save battery better. Make sure your laptop is always fully updated to take advantage of these improvements.
Use a power socket when possible
If you work with an outlet, charge your laptop with about 20-30% battery left to avoid running out of battery, while helping the system maintain the best performance when there is a direct power source.
Keep your laptop cool
High temperatures cause the battery to wear out quickly and reduce its lifespan. Make sure the laptop is breathable, not placed on a soft surface like a bed or cushion, and can use a thermally aspirated socket if working for a long time.
