Eight ways to get more battery life from your devices

Batteries wear out, but a few good habits can make yours last longer each day and for more years. These are the ones our support team recommends.

For your phone

• Lower the screen brightness or enable adaptive brightness
• Turn on low power mode when you're below 30%
• Keep it between 20% and 80% when you can
• Update to the latest software for efficiency improvements

For your laptop

Close apps you aren't using, reduce the keyboard backlight and use the battery-saving mode on the go. Avoid leaving it plugged in at 100% all the time.

For earbuds and headphones

Store them in their case, don't leave them in a hot car and use one earbud at a time on long days to alternate battery use.
