When you are constantly on the move and your work involves constant movement from place to place, the laptop must be always ready and not let down at the right time. This is the ideal. In life, a critically low battery charge likes to spoil not only rest, but also the work process. If there is no access to an outlet, a few tips for extending autonomy will come in handy.
If the percentages of the charge are rapidly melting, and the laptop is in working order for a long time and there is no opportunity to recharge it, it is necessary to optimize its operation.
1. Decrease the brightness of the screen
Most modern laptops are equipped with a 15.6-inch matrix. Its backlight consumes a large amount of battery resources. The maximum brightness can use up the entire battery in the shortest time.
2. Disable unnecessary visual effects
The operating system uses visual effects to keep the elements smooth and beautiful. The resources of the video card and RAM are consumed. This does not add to the performance of the laptop, but only increases the consumption of the battery.
3. Keep your laptop in a cool place, do not neglect to clean it
The laptop will perform much more efficiently in colder temperatures. When the device is asleep, do not leave it in direct sunlight. If the vents are clogged with dirt and dust, there is a high probability of overheating, which makes attempts to increase the autonomy of the device to zero.
4. Change power schemes
Windows has several power modes in its arsenal. Each of them is already configured for a specific performance and enabling or disabling one of the schemes will help simplify a specific task. In this case, the power saving mode will be the best choice, which will prolong the laptop battery life.
5. Disconnect the network
If there is no need for an always-on Internet, turn off wi-fi. Most of the tasks can be completed using a connection to the world wide web for only a minimal amount of time.
6. Refrain from using external devices
Plugging in a flash drive, portable hard drive or even a wireless mouse puts an extra load on the battery, which negatively affects the percentage of charge.
7. Don't multitask
Listening to music while reading and browsing the Internet does not contribute to extending the battery life of the laptop. Try not to open many windows at the same time, solve problems as they come in, in order.
8. Close startup programs
Immediately after turning on, you must close all programs that start working after starting the operating system. Despite the fact that you are not actively using them and they are in the background, they still consume resources.
