7 Battery-Saving Hacks For Your Laptop

Lower Screen Brightness: Your display eats the most battery. Reduce brightness to 40–60% to instantly extend backup without hurting visibility.

Turn On Battery Saver: Enable Battery Saver / Power Mode in Settings. It limits background activity and keeps your laptop running longer automatically.

Close Unused Apps: Background apps drain power. Close heavy apps like Chrome tabs, editing tools, or games when you’re not using them.

Disable Bluetooth And Wi-Fi: If you’re working offline, turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi - both keep searching for connections and drain battery silently.

Reduce Refresh Rate: If your laptop supports high refresh rates (120Hz+), switch to 60Hz when on battery. It significantly cuts power usage.

Unplug External Devices: Remove USB drives, webcams, hard disks, and accessories - they draw power even when idle.

Update Drivers and OS: Regular updates optimize battery performance. Updated drivers help your laptop manage power more efficiently.
