00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,799
how many times have you gotten halfway through your day only to find that your

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:10,360
precious connection to the outside world is dwindling away and you're down to a

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:14,440
frightening 10% battery the batteries that power our phones tablets computers

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,240
and other electronics are bound to lose their Edge As Time takes its toll but

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:22,480
before you pull out your Lifeline of power cords that you keep stashed away

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:27,240
let's take a look at what we can do to assist our lithium ion clad soldiers in

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:31,320
their daily struggle just like a car your device can become weighed down by

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:34,760
excessive tasks the more you have running the faster you run out of

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,200
battery similar to how a car hauling around tons of junk will run out of gas

10
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:43,879
more quickly however if you can't afford to dump the body hiding in your trunk

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,440
there might be weight elsewhere that you could lose let's take a look at some of

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,440
the key contributors Beyond obvious things like screen brightness background

13
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:55,480
data flow that constantly pushes updates to your phone for apps like Facebook

14
00:00:53,239 --> 00:01:00,320
Twitter and your favorite email client are notorious for taking a toll on your

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,159
battery even worse can be if your phone is searching for cellular Wi-Fi or

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,360
Bluetooth signals as your phone is chewing through battery trying to find a

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,720
network to latch onto and if you use a mobile device as a navigational Aid good

18
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:19,600
luck trying to keep it from draining faster than a pool at the end of the freaking summer as GPS requires your

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:24,400
phone to constantly refresh its location which you can learn about more in this

20
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,880
video so how can you keep your battery aoat without avoiding doing the stuff

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,079
that actually makes your device useful well one of the most EAS easiest things

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,720
to do is to close programs that you don't need running use the process tab

23
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:41,360
in task manager on a Windows PC or the running apps tab under settings and apps

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:45,520
on most Android phones to see what processes are using the most resources

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:50,240
and don't forget about double tap to force quit on iOS often devices are

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,880
loaded down with bloatware installed by the manufacturer whose usefulness is

27
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:59,079
questionable at best and often do nothing except for suck power and be

28
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:03,640
annoying so try and stop it from running or better yet uninstall the bloatware

29
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:07,680
completely if you can also be sure to turn off your Wi-Fi if you're in an area

30
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,800
without fast hotspots and you can just use your Cellular Connection and disable

31
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:15,879
location tracking on GPS enabled devices if you won't be using them but on the

32
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,480
flip side if Wi-Fi is an option to stay connected wherever you are I suggest

33
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,920
using that over your cell network as Wi-Fi is actually usually easier on your

34
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:28,680
battery and some carriers even feature Wi-Fi calling which can be especially

35
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:33,080
useful if your cell signal isn't great also the constant needing to remember to

36
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,440
turn your Wi-Fi back on which can be problematic but Luke you say this sounds

37
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,519
incredibly tedious there must be an easier way of course while it would be

38
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,760
difficult to get a second gas tank for your car it's becoming easier and cheaper to get an external battery bank

39
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,800
which can charge your devices as they drain themselves this way you can make

40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,280
it out to the desert to bury your cargo

41
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:58,000
that we were talking about earlier but never mind that without stopping for gas

42
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,959
or battery in this case and don't forget that there are ways to maintain the long

00:02:59,959 --> 00:03:06,640
term life of your battery so be sure to check out our separate video on
