How to Maximize Your Laptop Battery Life - Knowledgebase

Your laptop battery degrades naturally over time, but good habits can keep it healthy for years.

Lower screen brightness — the display is the biggest battery drain. 50–70% indoors is ideal.
Close unused apps and tabs — each one uses power in the background.
Use Wi-Fi over hotspot — Wi-Fi uses less power than cellular tethering.
Turn off Bluetooth when not using wireless peripherals.
Enable battery saver mode — both Windows and macOS have built-in power-saving modes.

Plug in around 20% — don't drain to 0% regularly

❄

Keep it cool

Heat kills batteries. Avoid blocking vents.

Use original charger

Third-party chargers can deliver inconsistent power

Long-Term Storage
