I sometimes feel annoyed when laptop battery goes low. I think almost all of us have similar emotion towards charging frequently. We cannot preserve this charge for a long time, but by some better ways, we can save battery life. It may help us in our worst time.
I am presenting here 10 tips to save battery.
1. Minimize the number of background applications.
There are some applications which are not necessary and only help in increasing cycles and energy loss. Windows sidebar widget is one among them. If u have no widget, it may be disabled. If you have this widget, you can disable it from control panel.
In my opinion, start up applications, is not necessary.
2. Reduce Screen brightness
High screen brightness may use high power. You can minimize screen brightness according to your wish. Click on the battery button and by moving the slider of brightness you can set brightness.
3. Turn off wireless and Bluetooth connection
Wireless and Bluetooth connection uses much power from the battery. So it is better turning off these connections after use. There may be unique switches for turning off these connections or you can do these using settings.
4. Use suitable power options
These are options which the system has to do in idle state. You can set different timings such as display off time, sleep time and so on. You can do this from More power options in battery button.
5. Turn off Screen savers
Screen savers are not desirable for long battery life. You can disable this from display properties.
6. Adjust visual settings
Visual effects utilize much CPU and memory and hence reduce battery charge. To adjust visual settings, go to control panel and type Visual in search box. Then click on adjust the appearance and performance of windows. It is better select adjust for best performance.
7. Don’t copy large files when battery is low
Copying needs much CPU and memory. So it may cause the battery to loss charge rapidly and the system may automatically shutdown.
8. Disable Windows aero
Aero provides glass effect, and it also uses much energy. You can turn off aero by right clicking on the desktop, and selecting personalization. Then select window color and uncheck the transparency option.
9. Disable search index
You can disable search index from control panel by typing index in the search box. There will be an option for windows searches. Click modify and uncheck all locations.
10. Use screen when needed
If you are not using laptop, close the lids. It will turn off the display and save power.
