If you are using a laptop then you have to take care of charging always.Primarily few tips are to be followed to increase the running time of the charging.Here are some of them:
- There are some apps that run along with windows os during startup.These are called as startup programs,of these some of them may be unnecessary.So those unnecessary apps can be closed so that it would result in long running time.Note that this would even makes your laptop to start faster with less booting time.
- If you are currently not having use with the laptop's bluetooth then turn it off.
- Sometimes we may even insert cd's and dvd's for some purposes and we forget to eject them.This even takes the charging,so never run any cd's and dvd's if they are not used at that moment.
- It may also be noted that connecting USB drives even consumes charging.So when they are not used don't leave it to the laptop just disconnect them and have your work.
- When you are willing to take a small break to your work don't leave the laptop simply,you just keep it in 'sleep' or in 'standby' modes.
- If the break time is more then its best suggested to keep it in 'hibernate' mode.
- Besides lessening the brightness of screen also go to power options and in that choose advanced settings and change the settings to get long running of charging.
