How can I save my battery when not in use?

  • by

To save battery when your device is not in use, consider the following tips:

  1. Let your screen turn off sooner: Adjust the screen timeout settings so that your device’s display turns off more quickly when not in use.
  2. Reduce screen brightness: Lower the screen brightness manually or enable adaptive brightness to adjust automatically based on ambient light.
  3. Turn off keyboard sounds or vibrations: These features consume battery power, so turning them off can help extend battery life.
  4. Restrict apps with high battery use: Identify and restrict apps that consume excessive battery in the background.
  5. Turn on adaptive battery: This feature helps your device manage battery use by learning which apps you use the most and limiting resources for those you rarely use.
  6. Delete unused accounts: Removing unnecessary accounts can prevent background processes that drain battery life.
  7. Turn on dark theme: Dark mode reduces battery consumption, especially on OLED screens.

By following these practices, you ensure optimal battery performance and longevity, particularly for LiFePO4 batteries when they are stored for extended periods. Proper storage, such as maintaining charge levels between 20-80% and avoiding extreme temperatures, also plays a critical role in battery health.
