Here is a great way to extend the life of your computer battery. It's easier than you think!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A laptop computer with a battery
  1. Step 1

    Always run your battery life as low as you can because every time you charge your battery you are using one of its charges.

  2. Step 2

    When you are running your laptop without the charger, make sure you run the battery as low as you can.

  3. Step 3

    Then, charge your battery to 100% and remove the battery from your computer with the charger STILL plugged into your computer.

  4. Step 4

    Only use your battery when you must! When you are at home and your battery is at 100%, take out your battery.

Tips & Warnings
  • Always make sure your battery is back in your laptop when you unplug it from the power cord!
