how many times have you gotten halfway through your day only to find that your
0:03
precious connection to the outside world is dwindling away and you're down to a
0:07
frightening 10% battery the batteries that power our phones tablets computers
0:12
and other electronics are bound to lose their Edge As Time takes its toll but
0:16
before you pull out your Lifeline of power cords that you keep stashed away
0:20
let's take a look at what we can do to assist our lithium ion clad soldiers in
0:24
their daily struggle just like a car your device can become weighed down by
0:29
excessive tasks the more you have running the faster you run out of
0:32
battery similar to how a car hauling around tons of junk will run out of gas
0:37
more quickly however if you can't afford to dump the body hiding in your trunk
0:42
there might be weight elsewhere that you could lose let's take a look at some of
0:45
the key contributors Beyond obvious things like screen brightness background
0:49
data flow that constantly pushes updates to your phone for apps like Facebook
0:53
Twitter and your favorite email client are notorious for taking a toll on your
0:58
battery even worse can be if your phone is searching for cellular Wi-Fi or
1:02
Bluetooth signals as your phone is chewing through battery trying to find a
1:06
network to latch onto and if you use a mobile device as a navigational Aid good
1:11
luck trying to keep it from draining faster than a pool at the end of the freaking summer as GPS requires your
1:16
phone to constantly refresh its location which you can learn about more in this
1:21
video so how can you keep your battery aoat without avoiding doing the stuff
1:26
that actually makes your device useful well one of the most EAS easiest things
1:30
to do is to close programs that you don't need running use the process tab
1:34
in task manager on a Windows PC or the running apps tab under settings and apps
1:39
on most Android phones to see what processes are using the most resources
1:43
and don't forget about double tap to force quit on iOS often devices are
1:48
loaded down with bloatware installed by the manufacturer whose usefulness is
1:52
questionable at best and often do nothing except for suck power and be
1:56
annoying so try and stop it from running or better yet uninstall the bloatware
2:01
completely if you can also be sure to turn off your Wi-Fi if you're in an area
2:05
without fast hotspots and you can just use your Cellular Connection and disable
2:09
location tracking on GPS enabled devices if you won't be using them but on the
2:13
flip side if Wi-Fi is an option to stay connected wherever you are I suggest
2:17
using that over your cell network as Wi-Fi is actually usually easier on your
2:21
battery and some carriers even feature Wi-Fi calling which can be especially
2:25
useful if your cell signal isn't great also the constant needing to remember to
2:31
turn your Wi-Fi back on which can be problematic but Luke you say this sounds
2:35
incredibly tedious there must be an easier way of course while it would be
2:40
difficult to get a second gas tank for your car it's becoming easier and cheaper to get an external battery bank
2:45
which can charge your devices as they drain themselves this way you can make
2:48
it out to the desert to bury your cargo
2:51
that we were talking about earlier but never mind that without stopping for gas
2:55
