Today, most smartphones come with high-resolution, large displays, powerful processors, and more memory. Their purpose is to complete multitasking and difficult tasks easily. However, this also means that in such a situation, the battery of the phone will be disturbed while walking throughout the day, and due to this, power banks have become a compulsion.
The same can be said about the laptop. As its battery gets older, the need to use power plugs will also increase. Most electronic devices we use come with lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries. They are equipped with quick charge features, but you don’t need to get a long battery life. Keeping in mind the age of the battery, upgrading the laptop is better than changing the battery.
Whether you use smartphones, tablets, or laptops. These tips will help increase the battery life of your device.
1) Take care of the temperature
Using the battery at high temperatures can be more disturbing than its cycling. Battery University says that higher temperatures and increasing age gradually reduce the performance of the battery. Using the device in low temperatures (temperatures above 30°C are considered higher) will improve its life cycle. Testing has found that the performance reaches 60 percent when the battery is used at a temperature of 60 degrees for three months and at 65 percent at a 40-degree temperature. You try to protect your device from heat, such as by not making the mistake of leaving your mobile on the car dashboard in the scorching heat.
It is justified to be troubled by the problem of too much warmth of the smartphone, because with the passage of time, the battery life becomes very weak. In the laptop, keep in mind that you are using cooling pads so that hot air is easily released from the CPU vent. Due to dust, the laptop vent starts closing, due to which the fans in it have to work more. Gradually, it also works to increase the expenditure for you. So keep cleanliness, especially by removing the dust.

2) Avoid free apps; start buying apps
Apps that come with advertising can reduce the battery life of your device by an average of 2.5 to 2.1 hours. It is claimed that some American researchers have been done by According to the study, the processor of the phone is like his brain. Advertisement also uses some parts of this brain, due to which it slows down.
It is not that all free apps are affecting your battery, but if you see any advertisement on it, then understand that it will affect the bandwidth and processor. You will have many advantages of paying for apps. That too, when many apps are available for just 10 rupees today.
It would be better to use the application present in the system to edit the text on the laptop. By doing this, there will be less battery consumption than using a browser. If you are not using the internet, then turn off the Wi-Fi connection. On the Windows PC, you need to press “FN+F2” on the keyboard. By the way, this command also depends on the device manufacturer. In such a situation, you can also use Wi-Fi icons on the device.
3) Stop location tracking
A recent report claims that the Facebook app quickly drains the battery of the iPhone, as it repeatedly knows the user’s location using the GPS module. In such a situation, the app that does not need your location but offers location tracking will definitely help.
On more Android devices, you can go to the location and turn the location tracking off completely after setting GS. By the way, the option to decide at the level of the app is currently given only in Android Marshmallow.
In iOS 9, you go to settings, then choose privacy, and then location services. After this, you can disable it for every app. For the same app, keep the location axis on which they need.
4) It is better to have a little charge than to be fully charged.
A great suggestion made by the Battery University can be understood from the example of a marathon. Taking the battery directly from 100 percent and finishing it at zero, it is better to allow it to be discharged up to 50 percent. Maintain the order between 30 and 80 percent. By doing this, your battery discharge will increase three times.
Lenovo uses this theory in battery maintenance settings. You can also customize it according to your needs. To make the battery usable for many years, Lenovo suggests that you start the charging pattern from 40% and close at 50%. Decide.
5) Reduce the brightness of the display
This suggestion is applied to laptops and mobile devices. Most devices can easily use brightness settings or reduce the brightness of the screen with third-party apps like Lux. Apart from reducing the brightness of the display, it also changes the color cast of the screen. However, power can be saved on the OLED screen only through a software layer, while in LCDs, it will have to reduce the backlight brightness.
You can save a little battery by reducing how long your display is inactive when the device is inactive. On Android, you can decide this by going to the display settings after settings. After entering Settings in iOS, you can change the settings according to your convenience by going to Auto-Lock after General.
Right-click on the battery icon in a Windows laptop, then on the power option. After this, convert the settings into power saver. Windows will then reduce brightness on its own. Apart from this, standby and other settings will be given priority according to the performance of the battery.
6) Update the app on Wi-Fi or while charging the battery
Usually, any action that puts pressure on the processor or bandwidth will take more CPU power. The best would be that this action is generally stable, and mobile data should use Wi-Fi instead of the internet. In such a situation, the best decision will be for you to schedule your app updates only on Wi-Fi. If there is an option on your device, then you can schedule it only while charging.
You can reach this setting in the Play Store app on Android. Launch the app. Open the menu by swiping from the left side of the screen. After this, go to the settings, then to the auto-update apps. After this, choose Wi-Fi only mode. Go to settings in iPhone or iPad Wi-Fi+cellular, then in iTunes and App Store. After this, turn off the use of cellular data.
7) Turn on low power mode
Not all Android phones have battery saver mode. If you are using Android 5.0 or a subsequent version, then this mode is more likely to be present on your device. As soon as the battery of your phone reaches 15 percent, it automatically becomes active. This background app closes refresh, location tracking, and sync activity so that battery life can be saved. Android comes with the Marshmallow Doze feature. If you do not use your phone for a long time, then this feature puts your phone into deep slow mode. Due to this feature, standby time doubles. If you are using an old version of an Android phone, then you will not get this feature.
The iPhone equipped with iOS 9 also has low power modes that discontinue background refresh, visual effects, and automatic downloads. You can access this feature by going to the battery option from the settings.
If you are using old Android phones, then the manufacturer may have given you its low power mode on your phone. For example, on Sony’s phone, it is known as Stamina Mode, and it is named Extreme Power Mode in HTC. By the way, you can also use many third-party apps. However, our experience suggests that built-in apps are more effective.
8) Use flight mode
If your phone is not close to the cellular tower, then it will also affect the standby time. If you are in a place where there is no network, then it would be better to activate airplane mode (flight mode) on your phone. Your phone will repeatedly look for a network in such places, which will affect the battery life.
By following these suggestions, you will find that your phone is giving better battery life than before. If you have suggestions to improve battery life, then tell us through the comment box.
