5 Ways to Extend Your Laptop’s Battery Life

Published on March 10, 2025 by Circuit Surgeons Team

Laptops are essential for work, school, and play — but nothing’s more frustrating than your battery running out at the worst time. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to keep your laptop running longer without carrying the charger everywhere.

1. Lower screen brightness: Displays are one of the biggest power drains.
2. Close unused apps/tabs: Extra programs eat battery in the background.
3. Enable battery saver mode: Most systems have a built-in low-power option.
4. Turn off Wi-Fi/Bluetooth when idle: Wireless radios use more energy than you think.
5. Charge smart: Keep the battery between 20%–80% for long-term health.

Following these habits not only saves power day-to-day but also extends the life of your battery overall.
