Is your laptop dying after a couple hours of use? Most laptop batteries last 2-4 hours when in use and not being charged. Laptop battery time is dependent on a lot of things running on the computer and how you’ve setup energy and power modes. Here is a list of things that you can do on your laptop to make the battery last longer.
Increase Laptop Battery Life
Reduce monitor brightness – this will significantly extend your battery when in use
Keep battery fully charged before using it without power
Close apps that are not in use and running in the background
Turn off or hibernate when laptop is not being used
Use “Power Save Mode” to use less power when laptop is on
Use “Energy Saver” on MacOS or “Battery Performance Slider” on Windows
Check power and sleep settings
Keep out of extreme heat or cold – don’t leave in car
Remove screen savers
Sync emails less so system is not constantly checking for new messages
Purchase a battery backup

Great tips for extending battery life reducing brightness and closing background apps alone can make a huge difference. I’d also add that screen maintenance plays a role more than people realize. Over time, dust, smudges, and even tiny display imperfections can force you to keep brightness higher than necessary, which drains the battery faster.
That’s why it’s worth checking your display health regularly. A simple tool like Black Test Screen lets you quickly spot dead pixels, uneven lighting, or areas that need cleaning. With a clean and fully functional display, you can often keep your brightness lower without sacrificing visibility, which helps your battery last longer. It’s a small step that can make your laptop more efficient in the long run.

I use white screen online tools pretty often, so adjusting the brightness and keeping background apps in check has really helped improve my battery life. Appreciate the straightforward advice, it’s made a real difference.
To extend laptop battery life, reduce screen brightness, close unused apps, use power-saving modes, avoid extreme temperatures, and turn off the screen when idle. Using a Black-screen during charging or inactivity minimizes energy consumption and prevents overheating, enhancing battery health.
