how many times have you gotten halfway through your day only to find that your
precious connection to the outside world is dwindling away and you're down to a
frightening 10% battery the batteries that power our phones tablets computers
and other electronics are bound to lose their Edge As Time takes its toll but
before you pull out your Lifeline of power cords that you keep stashed away
let's take a look at what we can do to assist our lithium ion clad soldiers in
their daily struggle just like a car your device can become weighed down by
excessive tasks the more you have running the faster you run out of
battery similar to how a car hauling around tons of junk will run out of gas
more quickly however if you can't afford to dump the body hiding in your trunk
there might be weight elsewhere that you could lose let's take a look at some of
the key contributors Beyond obvious things like screen brightness background
data flow that constantly pushes updates to your phone for apps like Facebook
Twitter and your favorite email client are notorious for taking a toll on your
battery even worse can be if your phone is searching for cellular Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth signals as your phone is chewing through battery trying to find a
network to latch onto and if you use a mobile device as a navigational Aid good
luck trying to keep it from draining faster than a pool at the end of the freaking summer as GPS requires your
phone to constantly refresh its location which you can learn about more in this
video so how can you keep your battery aoat without avoiding doing the stuff
that actually makes your device useful well one of the most EAS easiest things
to do is to close programs that you don't need running use the process tab
in task manager on a Windows PC or the running apps tab under settings and apps
on most Android phones to see what processes are using the most resources
and don't forget about double tap to force quit on iOS often devices are
loaded down with bloatware installed by the manufacturer whose usefulness is
questionable at best and often do nothing except for suck power and be
annoying so try and stop it from running or better yet uninstall the bloatware
completely if you can also be sure to turn off your Wi-Fi if you're in an area
without fast hotspots and you can just use your Cellular Connection and disable
location tracking on GPS enabled devices if you won't be using them but on the
flip side if Wi-Fi is an option to stay connected wherever you are I suggest
using that over your cell network as Wi-Fi is actually usually easier on your
battery and some carriers even feature Wi-Fi calling which can be especially
useful if your cell signal isn't great also the constant needing to remember to
turn your Wi-Fi back on which can be problematic but Luke you say this sounds
incredibly tedious there must be an easier way of course while it would be
difficult to get a second gas tank for your car it's becoming easier and cheaper to get an external battery bank
which can charge your devices as they drain themselves this way you can make
it out to the desert to bury your cargo
that we were talking about earlier but never mind that without stopping for gas
or battery in this case and don't forget that there are ways to maintain the long
term life of your battery so be sure to check out our separate video on
rechargeable battery care up here
