We have all experienced it: in the middle of watching a movie near the climax, 或者 when 你 are in a meeting, and 你 find in your horror that your laptop battery is almost dead and 你 forgot your charger 或者 there is no available outlet.

Before 你 buy some counterfeited battery from the stalls of Jakarta, Indonesia 或者 black markets of Beijing, China which can easily harm your laptop, make sure 你 are running out of options first. There are 更多 strategies to prolong your battery’s life and it can be applicable anytime anywhere.

Taiwan-based distributor of mobile phone accessories and laptop peripherals, The Peterson Group, shares some technique on how to prolong your battery life and save yourself from an irritating trouble of not being able to finish what 你 have to do.

1.    Activate your Laptop Battery Saver Mode 或者 Eco Mode

It seems like an easy thing to do but many laptop users just seems to overlook this laptop’s feature. Saver Mode will engage a number of automatic changes just to lengthen usable battery life. It can minimize the brightness and contrast of your monitor, review the applications 你 are using, shut down unwanted software devices and reduce power consumption.

2.    Disable Unused Devices and Ports

你 may have a battery saver mode but it cannot guarantee to close every unused application. It is better to close any unneeded peripherals and turning off power blogs, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios, and graphics processors and unused optical drives. A little warning though, before disabling any component device, make sure that the device is not in use, and that it is not essential to continuing operation of the laptop.

3.    Adjust Your Setting

Once again, your eco saver may do that for you; still, it would be better if 你 do it manually. The eco mode may not be able to adjust the color and contrast as 你 would want it to. It may adjust it too dim for you. If 你 are only doing a document 或者 simple tasks, 你 would not need a 1080p 或者 higher display. 你 can also tone down the volume.

4.    Simplify your Activities

Start 由 single tasking. Multitasking is okay when 你 have your outlet ready but on dire needs, prioritize only the necessity. Playing online 音乐 can drain batteries. If 音乐 is a must, then, save some 音乐 in your local disk and play from there. 由 eliminating unnecessary power uses, 你 should be able to extend the life of your battery in those moments that 你 find yourself high and dry.
