Remove all the external devices that are connected to the laptop when you are not using them. Devices like USB mouse, keyboards, external drives and such can consume plenty of the laptops battery. So have them removed when not in use.



Remove cd/ dvd from drive

When a cd or a dvd is inserted, the drives will constantly spin inside, which can lead to a decrease in the battery life. So it’s always better to remove them when they are not in use.



Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth


To operate the wifi and Bluetooth in a laptop they need the external signal to work out. So when this happens, it consumes a lot of battery. So turn off wifi or Bluetooth when you don’t need them.



Turn off apps and processors

Sometimes when we turn on the laptops automatically, we will see some apps that run in the background. Turn off such apps that the laptop doesn’t need at the moment. Because the background running apps can consume lots of battery life as they run on the rom. You can close these apps from the task manager by pressing the CTRL + ALT + DELETE.


Always update software

we often skip the process of updating software. Software is very important for the PC to run accurately and kill other dangerous malware. Outdated software can also consume a lot of battery life, which is why updating the software on time is very important.


Check the temperature

Make sure to use the laptop from an accurate place. Placing the laptop in a very warm place or in place where direct sunlight enters is not actually good for the life of the battery. It can be a danger to the laptop itself. So always check for the temperature and place it in a proper space.


Avoid over charging the battery

Most of us think that if we charge longer, the battery life will stay longer. No, you are absolutely wrong. As when the battery is over charged it may get over heated and there by slowly cause problems with the battery life.


Windows power-troubleshooter

To adjust the power setting of the laptop, you can run the power troubleshooter once in a while. In the power troubleshooter, it checks for the display power on, sleep mode and much more. So by adjusting this you can save the battery life o the laptop.


Dim the light in screen

When we use the laptop, our screen will always be on. So it’s better to dim the light taking into consideration of the surrounding light. The screen brightness consumes a lot of battery when it is on high. Normally, windows laptops come with an easy method of decreasing the brightness by using the sun icon that’s available. But in case if the laptop doesn’t come with a method like this, then you can simply press the windows key and x together to adjust the brightness level of the screen.

That’s it. These are some easy and useful methods to help save the battery life for a longer period of time. To follow the methods given above is very simple and basic but it helps in a great way. Try all the methods to increase the battery life of your laptop.
