If you have a laptop, then you know how convenient it is You can take it anywhere, and do some work, play some games, or chat with your friends One of the good things about many places you see people using laptops these days is that you can usually find an electrical outlet to plug into That's great if you can find it, but sometimes you can't If you happen to be out of range of an electrical outlet, then you're going to need to depend on your battery This means you'll have to keep a close eye on the battery level, as having it die can cause quite a few problems If you are in the middle of a conversation with your spouse or partner, for example, and your battery suddenly dies, you may find yourself in some hot water if you can't get to an outlet any time soon There are a couple of things you can do to keep your battery from letting you down Keeping these in mind can reduce the chances of this happening Sure, there's that little battery in the bottom corner of your screen, but just like the gas gauge on your car, sometimes it can be easy to forget to check it One thing you can do right away is check your power settings through the control panel There are several options, designed for several situations For using the battery, you can check the one that maximizes your battery life, or at least balances out your battery life with your processor speed The fastest processor speed would give you the shortest battery life, and vice-versa Just be sure to switch back into maximum processor speed when you are plugged in An additional way to extend your battery life is to refrain from using software that requires a lot of memory or processor use These are programs like video streaming, video conferencing, music streaming, and graphic intense video games While these are enjoyable and entertaining, they will suck your battery dry in under an hour if you aren't careful And also try to keep a minimum amount of programs open at once As soon as you are finished using a program, close it You should also keep in mind that every time you drain and charge your battery, the amount of time you get out of a full charge decreases a little bit each time After about a year of intensive use, you will likely need to switch your battery They are pretty cheap, so you may consider buying a couple of backups if you are going to be doing some extended work where AC is unavailable, like on an airplane or in an extended lecture When you practice these basic ideas, you'll maximize your battery life, and minimize any chance of an unexpected shutdown You won't have to worry about any data being lost, and you won't cut anybody off in the middle of an important conversation.
