How do I increase battery life

HOw can I preserve battery usage

Turn off bluetooth when not needed, as well as AirDrop.
Make sure you are in an area with good phone signal, if not, that will suck your battery more than anything.
Turn off Background App Refresh in your settings.
Turn off Spotlight.
In Location Service, only turn on the ones you need.
Turn down brightness a little.
Don't use Push on email, but rather, fetch every 15 or 30 minutes.

  • How can i increase battery life in my iphone 5 after ios7 upgrade

    will apple fix this huge problem of half of battery life in my verizon iphone 5 after ios7 upgrade? or should i just go back to ios6?

    all I can say is APPLE has no official way to go back to a previous version of OS X.  Perhaps there are hacks, but I cant speak of them here.  Also, that link was only given to you an hour ago, so give it more time to see if it helps with battery life until a more stable version of iOS 7 is released.  Im not happy about the battery life either.

  • How to help increase battery life with ios5?

    My battery on my iPad is draining with ios5...anything I can do?

    If you do not use Bluetooth devices, Settings > General > Bluetooth to OFF, when away from WiFi and not using a 3G unit, put Airplane Mode ON.
    Change the email push setting to a long period of time.

  • How to increase battery life, and how this could be automated by Apple

    This is something I submitted to iPhone feedback via their webpage. I thought that some of the suggestions (if you do them manually) would help out with battery life a bit, obviously disabling and enabling services all the time is a pain, but it will for sure help, and if it was automated that would help as well...
    There are several settings you could add to the iPhone that would greatly increase battery life for users
    1. Have the GPS radio shut off after a period of inactivity from the accelerometer, if the iPhone isn't moving there is no point in wasting battery life keeping the GPS radio on, have it remember the last position before shutting off to help speed up location reporting once the iPhone starts moving again.
    2. Have an options screen that allows users access to all the iPhone services that consume battery, this would make it easy to understand what services use battery and will make it easy to disable those that are not currently required, order the list with the highest battery consumer at the top and the lowest at the bottom, this way people will understand that disabling those services at the top of the list will get them higher increases in battery life. Currently to toggle the battery consuming services requires visiting several menu screens, some several layers deep into the settings pages, people don't bother doing this and thus complanin about battery life.
    List of services to include on this page at minimum:
    Push, wifi, wifi auto ask to join networks, bluetooth, 3G, location services, notifications, ringer/vibrate, screen brightness, time to sleep, airplane mode
    Would also be good to be able to schedule ringer type/volume/vibrate, a lot like profiles on the blackberry.
    3. Have the option to schedule times for various battery consuming services to be available. I don't have wifi at work, i would save battery life if wifi was automatically disabled between 9am to 5pm, sure i could do this manually every day i get into work, but most people won't, if they can schedule it then there is no worry that the iPhone will always only be running those services that are required at the time. Of course there needs to be a manaual override in case something changes, like lets say i don't go to work on wednesday i would want wifi on for that day. Would be best to have these programable services on a 7 day schedule, or at least 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days, but the ideal is obviously that each day can be set seperately and accomodate all sorts of life schedules, just like a 7 day programable thermostat.
    Currently a lot of people are complaning about battery life, mostly it is because they don't know what to do to conserve it, or they are too lazy to change settings all the time based on current usage and service requirements. Adding these functions would give people the ability to bettery manage the battery life on their iphones and would help to reduce the amount of complaints.
    Thanks very much!

    Actually it is already that way. GPS radio is usually off, unless needed by applications. The problem is that many applications need it (including free apps that include geo-location based advertising) and that's when GPS works some extra. There's also another factor in making GPS drain battery: it is not the GPS radio itself, but communicating with apple's Map server while using it even if you're not looking at any maps. The thing is that location services rely on some information that can only be obtained through communicating with a geo-location server. Which is another drain factor.

    Unfortunately it is not that straightforward at all. It depends too much on the type of network you're using and on many other factors. It is impossible to have a reasonably reliable ranking like the one you're suggesting.
    What could be useful is to have a single switch that controls all services that rely on persistent connections (push, application notifications, some other things) but it is not that trivial at all.
    3. Have the option to schedule times for various battery consuming services to be available. I don't have wifi at work, i would save battery life if wifi was automatically disabled between 9am to 5pm,
    Having WiFi on while having no WiFi coverage consumes, err, well, almost nothing. Especially in standby, when the phone keeps WiFi radios off at any rate. WiFi is the least expensive bi-directional radio and iPhone manages it very well.

    A lot of people are complaining (including myself) because *it does not work right*. Not because I can't switch things off when I don't need them.

    The iPhone 3G can not be updated anymore so don't click ads like the they don't work. Also the iPhone 3G is old enough that it needs a battery change. You can go to apple or an authorized service provider.

  • How do you save battery life by closing programs under i0S7?

    How do you save battery life by closing programs under 0S7?  You used to click the home button twice, but now, since the update of 0S7, this feature seems to be gone.

    click the home button twice, when you see the apps line up on the page, swipe the ones you want to close up and off the page. Scroll to access more apps, tap the home button once to exit the mode
    For battery issues, look in the notifications. iOS7 defaults a lot on that you may not need. Also look to the background updating of apps. That can drain battery too.

  • Limiting processor speed to increase battery life.

    Does anyone know of a way to limit the processor speed to increase battery life while on battery? I know of some windows utilities that will allow you to scale back the processor, to say, 1 ghz or so, so as to get better battery life. Is there any way to do this with a macbook?
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Try CoolBook Controller out. It should do what you want.

  • How long is normal battery life for late 2011 macbook air?

    How long is normal battery life for late 2011 macbook air?

    I would also note that the 11" and 13" have different lives.  While the 11" has a smaller screen to drive (and thus, in theory, less power) it also has less space for a battery.  So it turns out the 13" has a longer battery life, all other things being equal (same usage and the like).
    Clearly what's "average" will vary by user.  Depending on what I'm doing, I can get Apple's rated life (or darned close) or I could end up well short of that life.  The "rated" life is 5 hours for the 11" and 7 hours for the 13" but that is, at best, a very rough approximation.  As the picture in captfred's response makes clear, the actual usage of the machine has a huge influence.

  • HT4275 how to increase battery life

    My battery life suddenly decreased substantially.  Just in the last couple of days

    I've seen the same phenomenon as well.  The trackpad batteries sometimes last a month or more and then suddenly they only last 3 days.  I haven't pinned down what's causing the devices not to go into low power mode yet, but certainly a software bug.   Until then I use rechargeables and always have some ready.

  • Satellite U405 - What is the best way to increases battery life

    Hi everyone!
    I've been looking for this quite a bit and all I could find are conflicting answers and some confusing instructions... :)
    Even the PDF file for my U405 has some conflicting tips (is it recommended to fully discharge it or not?)
    Let's say that I don't want to remove it and store it with a 40% charge in a low temperature location (?) because I also want to trust it as a UPS (power failures are common where I stay).
    So, in short, what is the best way to prolong my battery life to its maximum? Should I fully discharge it once a month or only half way through? Should it never be fully charged or that's actually a good thing?
    Thanks in advance for any wisdom anyone can offer on this!
    David

    The best way would be indeed to put it out of the notebook, but you already said, you won't do this.
    So, I would say to fully unload the battery once in a while and load it to a maximum.
    This is all I can tell you right now, but don't know how much this will increase the battery's life.

  • How to prolong U410 battery life?

    Hey guys,
    Just bought a IdeaPad U410 a few days ago. I have tested the battery life, and it was pretty decent after uninstalling Smart Update (5 - 6 hours of casual use). 
    However, because of my previous experience of using Acer and Toshiba laptops, I worry that the battery life will shorten very quickly if I keep charging it. How do you guys deal with this problem? Is it possible to still get 5 - 6 hours of battery after, say, 1 year of owning this laptop? 
    (And I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I really don't know anything about computers, haha)
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Please open energy management, go to battery settings and check optimize for lifespan. This will charge the laptop less than its capacity but the battery life would increase drastically.

  • How to prolong my battery life

    Hi guys. I had a 12 inch powerbook a few years ago and I had it plugged in for ages. Its battery was horrible and would last a matter of minutes. On my new PB (15") I decided I would use the battery sometimes. I would have it plugged in, and when fully charged I would unplug it. Then when I got to about 15% I would plug it back in. I have a widget that shows me the capacity status of the battery. After a year it was 80%. A month later, 70%. After a 2-week leave and another month of use it was down to 40% and 3 weeks later 30% where it has stayed for a few weeks now. I was about to buy a new battery when mine got recalled. Isn't that convenient? Anyways, do you guys have suggestions on how to prevent this fast paced degradation of batteries or will I have to dish out 120 bucks every year if I want a half way decent battery. Also should I calibrate my new battery?
    thanks,
    axel

    Note Apple measures battery life by the number of
    charge/discharge cycles, and not calendar time. They
    say a properly maintained battery should retain 80%
    capacity after 300 charge/discharge cycles.
    Slight adjustment to that...measuring in cycles is not an Apple quirk. It is an industry accepted way to measure lithium-ion battery usage.
    See: How to Prolong Lithium-Based Batteries
    In that tech note you'll find that for laptop use, battery life is usually affected more by heat exposure than usage habits.
