00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.799
how many times have you gotten halfway through your day only to find that your

00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:10.360
precious connection to the outside world is dwindling away and you're down to a

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:14.440
frightening 10% battery the batteries that power our phones tablets computers

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.240
and other electronics are bound to lose their Edge As Time takes its toll but

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:22.480
before you pull out your Lifeline of power cords that you keep stashed away

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

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:31.320
their daily struggle just like a car your device can become weighed down by

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:34.760
excessive tasks the more you have running the faster you run out of

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:39.200
battery similar to how a car hauling around tons of junk will run out of gas

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:43.879
more quickly however if you can't afford to dump the body hiding in your trunk

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

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:51.440
the key contributors Beyond obvious things like screen brightness background

00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:55.480
data flow that constantly pushes updates to your phone for apps like Facebook

00:00:53.239 --> 00:01:00.320
Twitter and your favorite email client are notorious for taking a toll on your

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:04.159
battery even worse can be if your phone is searching for cellular Wi-Fi or

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.360
Bluetooth signals as your phone is chewing through battery trying to find a

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.720
network to latch onto and if you use a mobile device as a navigational Aid good

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

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:24.400
phone to constantly refresh its location which you can learn about more in this

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:28.880
video so how can you keep your battery aoat without avoiding doing the stuff

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.079
that actually makes your device useful well one of the most EAS easiest things

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:36.720
to do is to close programs that you don't need running use the process tab

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:41.360
in task manager on a Windows PC or the running apps tab under settings and apps

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:45.520
on most Android phones to see what processes are using the most resources

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:50.240
and don't forget about double tap to force quit on iOS often devices are

00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:54.880
loaded down with bloatware installed by the manufacturer whose usefulness is

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:59.079
questionable at best and often do nothing except for suck power and be

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:03.640
annoying so try and stop it from running or better yet uninstall the bloatware

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

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:11.800
without fast hotspots and you can just use your Cellular Connection and disable

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:15.879
location tracking on GPS enabled devices if you won't be using them but on the

00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:19.480
flip side if Wi-Fi is an option to stay connected wherever you are I suggest

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:23.920
using that over your cell network as Wi-Fi is actually usually easier on your

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.680
battery and some carriers even feature Wi-Fi calling which can be especially

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:33.080
useful if your cell signal isn't great also the constant needing to remember to

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:37.440
turn your Wi-Fi back on which can be problematic but Luke you say this sounds

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:41.519
incredibly tedious there must be an easier way of course while it would be

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

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:51.800
which can charge your devices as they drain themselves this way you can make

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.280
it out to the desert to bury your cargo

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:58.000
that we were talking about earlier but never mind that without stopping for gas

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
