Maintaining your battery life will allow you to enjoy the benefits of a laptop for longer. A few simple rules are possible!
- First of all, please reduce the brightness of your screen and your keyboard. If you don't need it, turn off the keyboard backlight completely.
- In the top row of your keyboard, you will find the keys to increase/decrease the brightness of the screen and the keyboard, generally represented by a full sun (for the increase) and by an empty sun (for the decrease).
- For the MacBook, you will find these same keys at the top right of the "ESC" button. For the keyboard backlighting, you will use the "F5" key to decrease the brightness of the keyboard and the "F6" key for the opposite effect.
- Also do not wait until the battery of your computer is completely empty (below 20%) to recharge it. This is very harmful to the health of the battery.
- Finally, keep your device up to date. Updates regularly improve the way programs use the battery.
Here are a few more tips to keep your battery healthy:
- Close all apps you're not using
- Disconnect any unused devices (headphones, wireless mouse and keyboard...)
- Disable all unused wireless connections (wifi, Bluetooth)
- Turn off your computer and not put it to sleep
- Activate the energy saving mode
