Technology Tip:

How to get maximum battery life of a laptop! 

No matter how expensive of a laptop you purchase, the battery life is going to be limited.  Even if you buy something which gives you 6 to 8 hours of battery life, it is going to decrease with time.  Here are few tips which can give you the maximum life out of your laptop’s battery.

Backlight Levels/ Screen Brightness
You do not always need the brightest screen while using your Laptop.  A small change in the brightness of your Laptop screen can result in giving a few extra minutes on the battery as the LCD screen uses a large portion of your battery life.

Heavy Applications
You might want to avoid running heavy applications all the time and try keeping them closed when you are not using them.  You should try to avoid using them (if not urgent) when you are on battery.

Wireless and Bluetooth
The wireless system for your computer sends and receives data packets which also require some energy.  You can disable it when you are not using a wireless connection.

Heating Issues
Heat is the biggest enemy of any electronic device, same goes with laptops.  Try using a laptop without making it too hot.  Avoid blocking the air which comes from the laptop fan. You could also go out a purchase a cooling fan for your laptop. 

Have a great day!
