Tips to Increase Battery Life

Chromebooks have excellent battery life (8+hrs). Some will even net you up to 12hrs like the Acer Chromebook 14. While battery life is not an issue with Chromebooks, below are ways to squeeze more out of your battery, should you choose to do so.


Tips to increase battery life:
1. Turn down screen brightness
2. Turn off Bluetooth if you aren't using it.
3. Reduce number of tabs open. Tabs consume memory which consume power. 
4. Check Task Manager and close items that are not important (and consume processor power and/or memory). To open Task Manager press  esc + search. 
5. If you have a backlit keyboard, you can turn it off to save battery. Alt + brightness down key multiple times. 
6. Remove Chrome Extensions that you don't need. chrome://extensions
7. Turn off WiFi temporarily if you are not needing it. 
8. Chromebooks still use a bit of battery when it is in sleep mode. Turn off Chromebook instead of closing lid to put it in sleep mode.
