They have more room to put a power source in a laptop than \nphones or portable media players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as applications become increasingly demanding and your work requires more and more mobility, it&#8217;s very possible that your <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/battery-pc-laptop_Lab.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laptop battery<\/a> still isn&#8217;t up to snuff.<br>Try these tips to prolong your battery life. Can you make it through the work day on a single charge?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep\n your laptop battery cool. Battery power saps more quickly when the \nbattery is hot. Keep vents clear and don&#8217;t put your laptop on a pillow \nor other surface that will cover vents and trap heat.<\/li><li>Don&#8217;t keep\n your laptop plugged in. If you rarely unplug your laptop, you&#8217;re \nleaving it in a state of perpetual charge at 100 percent. That&#8217;s bad for\n the battery&#8217;s long-term health. Unplug it on occasion and let the \nbattery drain.<\/li><li>Put your computer to sleep when not in use. If you&#8217;re taking a break, let your computer take one as well.<\/li><li>Remove\n the battery if you&#8217;re working at your desk for a while. When you remove\n it, don&#8217;t store it fully charged. Aim for the middle: between 40 and 50\n percent.<\/li><li>Buy an extra battery. Keep a spare battery on hand in case you can&#8217;t get to a power outlet.<\/li><li>Close\n nonessential programs. The more your computer does, the more battery \npower it requires. Close any programs or background applications you&#8217;re \nnot using.<\/li><li>Disable wifi. Obviously there are times that having \nwireless internet is required, but for your next presentation or writing\n marathon, save your battery (and your focus) by turning it off.<\/li><li>Turn off Bluetooth. Turn off your laptop&#8217;s Bluetooth when you&#8217;re not connected to a phone or other peripheral.<\/li><li>Disable screen savers. Complex moving images are tough on your battery. Don&#8217;t opt in for them.<\/li><li>Change\n power options. Macs and PCs have built-in functions to help you \nmaximize battery life and efficiency. You can set the computer to \neffectively balance features like auto-sleep and screen brightness to \nmake sure you&#8217;re productive at your laptop all day without worrying \nabout the battery.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try a third-party power management tool. We like NightWatchman for PC and Power Manager for Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laptops have an advantage over smaller electronics when it comes to the battery.
