Tricks to Keep Your Device’s Battery Going and Going

Just like the Energizer Bunny, it keeps on going and going and going, but unlike the Bunny, your batteries will discharge and according to Murphy's Law, it will happen at the worst possible time. And no, I'm not talking about your 1-900 calls either.

While a standard cellphone’s charge can easily go three days or more, many smartphone owners are dismayed to learn that their new mobile toy requires charging every 24 hours, or even more often. The answer was not to desperately search for an electrical outlet to recharge the phone (though I’ve done that) or to consider giving up the phone (done that, too), but rather to figure out a strategy to reduce energy consumption while still having it available for essential tasks. Whether you’re using a laptop or a smartphone, the devices can be tweaked to get the most out of its lithium-ion batteries.
