When on a business or a vacation trip, it is a usual
thing for any traveler to bring gadgets in order to stay connected with
families and friends, to be productive at work, and to be entertained at the
same time. With prolonged and excessive use of these travel gadgets however,
battery life depreciates. Nowadays, battery life on portable gadgets is given much
attention on product reviews. After all, a large portion of users believe that
the strength of any device is also best attributed to its battery power
capacity.
For a techie traveler who is into many surprises during
road trips, battery life is a valued commodity. Any techie traveler can’t
afford to lose battery on a laptop while in the middle of uploading photos
online, or get disconnected during a very important phone call.
If you’re a techie traveler who doesn't want to see your
battery indicator run low, the following are important guidelines to observe
while on a trip. These helpful tips will apply on any device, which you intend
to bring with you on your next trip.
- Turn off your gadget when not in use. Turning off your gadgets when not in use ensures that battery life is saved for important use at a later time and will extend it instead of leaving your device idle.
- Disable or turn off the wireless capability of your laptop or gadgets when you’re not using it. Enabled wireless adapters or Wi-Fi function on these devices even when not in use will still utilize battery power even when left idle.
- Whether you’re working on an important project on your laptop or just playing games, listening to music with your iPhone, reading a material on your e-reader, or composing messages on your android phone, it is advisable to reduce brightness on these devices, especially when working on a well-lit area. Undeniably, maximizing g the brightness level of these gadgets can also contribute to fast battery consumption.
- Stick on a single-task on your device. If possible, don’t charge your smartphone or any USB-enabled devices through your laptop. Any gadget plugged into the USB port of the laptop consumes battery power. It is highly recommended to use a different power source for external hard drives to prevent the laptop’s battery from getting exhausted. Same goes when you’re using your phone to listen to music, avoid playing games at the same time, if possible. Doing multiple tasks on a multifunctional device also excessively use its RAM, which then consumes more battery power. If possible, it is also recommended to properly set the power management settings of your computer for a more efficient battery life.
- Lastly, do not overcharge your gadgets’ battery. When fully charged, batteries must be completely disconnected from the power outlet. This allows the battery last longer and performs better.
So
to any techie traveler, who is already planning out his next vacation, better
yet consider this recommendation before heading straight to your destination.
You may then realize that your gadgets will be useless because you have
insufficient battery supply when you need them the most.
