Things to avoid doing
Do you want the your battery to last long ? Here’s a quick list of bad practices to avoid.
**Full discharges: ** if a laptop battery discharges fully i.e forcing a shutdown then the battery uses up a full charge cycle. The more charge cycles consumed, the more quickly a battery will give up the ghost. Even when running a discharge cycle, don’t let the battery drop to 0%. Instead, Stoo when your operating system warns you that the battery is getting low.
**Reliance on hibernation modes: **This is a similar to the first point. If you are constantly forcing your laptop to hibernate in order to save the battery, then you aren’t keeping your battery at the ideal percentages. Rethink your laptop habits, or at least accept that your usage patterns will result in a battery that won’t last long.
**Long periods of inactivity: **If you must leave your battery unused for long periods of time, then make sure that there is about 50% percent charge remaining. A depleted battery can die forever if not recharged soon enough. Generally speaking, though, keep using and properly charging your battery as long as you have it.
**Hot/sunnydays: **Obviously you can’t always avoid hot summers, but you know what this means: keep your laptop in a cool environment. Store it indoors, avoid direct sunlight, and keep it out of hot cars during the warmest days.
Software and your battery
Finally, a note about your software: keep it updated! Companies work hard to improve the way that programs consume power via software updates. The same operating system on a later patch could use significantly less battery power, giving your battery a longer lifespan without changing anything else. And also review your OS and keep your machine and its battery on a healthy diet of updates.
