Why does my laptop’s battery drain so quickly?

A swiftly draining laptop battery can reduce the portability and convenience of your device. 

Factors Causing Fast Drainage

  1. Ageing Battery: Over time, batteries lose their ability to hold a charge. 
  2. Bright Screen: High brightness settings use more power. 
  3. Background Applications: Programs running in the background can consume significant energy. 
  4. Hardware Demands: Intensive tasks, like gaming, can rapidly deplete battery life. 

Tips to Preserve Battery Life

  • Consider replacing the battery if it’s old or displays noticeably reduced life. 
  • Adjust the screen brightness to a moderate or low setting. 
  • Regularly close unused applications and monitor background processes. 
  • Use power-saving modes available in your laptop’s settings. 

By adopting these strategies, you can maximise your laptop’s battery efficiency and lifespan.
