Here are 4 Tips to Increase Battery Life of Laptop
1. Plug in Charger Only When the Battery Goes Low
Most of the laptop users are habituated to keeping their laptop on permanent charging. Such users must be aware because permanent charging can cause huge damage to your battery life. You must remove the charger from your laptop soon after it is charged 100%. Moreover, connect it again to the charger when your laptop starts displaying that you battery needs charging.
2. Never Fold the Wires of the Charger Too Tightly
We generally see that after using the laptop, users fold the battery’s wire too tightly. They are not aware of how much dangerous it can be for the battery. While folding the wires too tightly, stretch occurs at different points of the wire that can lead to the breaking of the wire from the inside. This cannot be noticed from the outside and can cause huge damage to the battery while charging it.
3. Turn Off the Connectivity Switches When Not Used
Generally, laptop users, use Bluetooth for sharing things and WiFi for Internet connectivity on a regular basis. However, they often forget to turn off these connecting switches when not in use. Remember this can eat up your laptop’s battery life. So always, turn off these switches when not in use.
4. Reduce the Brightness Level of the LCD Screen
While using a laptop always remember to decrease the brightness level of the LCD screen of your laptop near 50 to 60%. The reason behind this is that the high level of brightness can also lead to damage to your laptop’s battery.

Hey friends, when I wrote this article I provided only 4 tips to boost your laptop’s battery life but now after a few months, I’m updating it and mentioning some other tips that can be proven very useful to increasing your laptop’s battery life.
Remove Unused Devices & Ports from Device Manager
It’s another effective way to reduce the power consumption. Do you know that all the components or external devices in your laptop needs power to function? So, it is not necessary to power all of those components all the time. In fact, remove the unneeded peripherals (like a USB mouse or external drive) and turn off the biggest power hogs, like graphics processors and unused optical drives. You can remove the unused devices and other peripherals from the device manager in the control panel.
Turn off the Unwanted Apps and Processes Running in the Background
Open the task manager in your laptop and check out how many applications and processes are actually running in the background and draining your battery life. So, it’s not just the hardware that juice up the battery but also these background running apps and processes plays a vital role. So, in the task manager just check out which apps and processes are uselessly running in the background and then simply end those tasks to free up the RAM and improve the battery.
