The battery of the laptop seems to have a life of their own: a day lasts throughout the day, the day after you will download in two hours. But how do we preserve it better? Reveal some simple makeup and dispel some of the myths in order to lengthen the life of our beloved battery.

1. Peel or not to peel? This is the dilemma.

Many people wonder whether to leave the laptop connected to the current face of evil. The truth? Keep the laptop always in charge is not ideal, but is not a disaster. The ideal is to maintain the battery level is between 20% and 80%. Then, slowly peel it off every so often and let it “breathe” in order to preserve the long-term durability.

When the battery becomes hot, the capacity will decrease more quickly, so keep your device cool and will help the battery to last longer.

 3. Saving mode: an ally

Many laptops offer a power saving mode that reduces background activity, and lowers the brightness of the screen. Turn it on when you know you have a long day ahead without the ability to recharge. Yes, the screen will be a bit less bright, but you'll earn minutes (if not hours) precious autonomy.

4. Turn off or Suspend?

Often we are tempted to close the lid and put the laptop in standby mode instead of turning off. But be careful: the sleep mode consumes the battery even if in the minimum amount. If you don't use the laptop for several hours, better to turn it off completely to save energy.

5. Do not let her stop for too long

If for a period of not you use your laptop, do not leave the battery is low or fully charged. Ideally, leave it with a charge level of around 50%. Lithium-ion batteries do not like to remain inactive, and keep them in mid-charge the help you rest better.

 In summary
