When it comes to battery life, what we all want is, of course, longer battery life. After all, as we use our electronics (laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc.), the tendency is for it to last less and less. To get around these problems, we've separated some tips on how to preserve the notebook battery (it also works for the cell phone). 5p1x2c
On this point, opinions differ widely. There are those who say that the ideal is to let everything unload and then load it again, but there are those who claim that this is not true. Who to believe? this is one of the doubts that we will clarify.
Tips to preserve your battery 3i5p2e
Heat: enemy number 1 5l4d37
It is a fact that excessive heat can damage the battery. However, many people live dangerously in this sense.
You know that habit of putting the computer on a pillow or blanket? So, you need to get rid of her. When a notebook is placed on “soft” surfaces, they tend to close the air vents, so there is greater heating. This heat can seriously damage your battery.
You must keep the air vents unobstructed and, if necessary, use coolers or external trays. The tip is to always use a hard surface for . Even if you want to use your notebook in bed, just put something that won't obstruct the air vents (like a notebook tray, wooden trays, clipboards, etc.).
In the case of smartphones, the ideal is always to leave it still for a while when you realize that it is hot. If necessary, remove the cape and “let it rest”.
If the ideal is to avoid heat, pockets and pillows are also not indicated. Also, don't leave your computer or cell phone in the sun, let alone closed in the car (where the temperature can rise several degrees).
Too cold is not ideal either, and if you've ever considered putting (or have already put) your cell phone or battery in the freezer to cool, don't (anymore) do that. First, electronics and humidity are two things that shouldn't mix. Even if you put only the battery, it contains substances that can freeze and this causes damage.
adjust the settings 2b1u68
Maximum screen brightness, millions of programs open on the computer, maximum use of all the resources it offers… This is the perfect combination to avoid when you want to save battery.
For notebooks, many operating systems have power saving modes, which can also be configured. At the Windows, this feature is available with easy access (click on the battery icon or type “battery” in the search bar and go to “Battery settings”). At the Mac It's also simple, just go to “System Preferences” in the menu and click “Energy Saver”. still, many GNU / Linux they also have energy saving options (and the simplicity is the same).
Smartphones also have power saving modes that allow you to choose which apps to use and the settings. An interesting tip for when you want to save battery is to start by reducing the screen brightness.
Don't let it completely 6ox5n
Since current batteries don't suffer from memory problems, you don't have to wait for them to fully discharge before plugging in. There are even those who argue that you shouldn't let or load it completely (reaching 100%).
In the case of smartphones, not letting them charge completely is easy, but this is a little more complicated in notebooks of continuous use, since no one is plugging in and unplugging them all day during the workday.
The advantage is that these recent devices stop charging when they reach 100%. So you also don't have to keep taking out and putting in the notebook battery. This is a risk when you're running out of battery, there's an interruption in the power supply and the computer shuts down, which can cause hardware damage (not to mention the rage of losing everything without saving). Many batteries are not even removable.
Avoid wireless charging 34692i
It looks fantastic just placing the smartphone on a surface to charge (inductive charging). However, wireless chargers can significantly reduce battery life.
Research has shown that overlapping two appliances can increase heating, as there is not enough space for the heat to disperse. In addition, if the device is in the wrong position, there may be losses in charging efficiency and higher temperature rise.
It's not that you should never use inductive charging again. By carrying out the experiments and making the necessary inferences, this research opened the door to find some solution to this problem.
Now that you know how to increase the life of your battery, to close, here is a moment of awareness: batteries and electronics in general represent a major environmental problem when it comes to disposal. All this material should not go to dumps and landfills. So don't throw any of this in the trash, look for disposal points closest to you.
