To save power, make your computer do less in general:
Don't use a screensaver. They're unnecessary on modern displays and will drain your battery to do nothing useful when your display could be off and saving power.
Run fewer programs in the background. ...
Reduce CPU usage. ...
Avoid maxing out your RAM.
We often fixate on smartphone battery life, but most laptops still don’t have all-day battery life. Rather than always using your laptop tethered to an outlet, here are some ways to squeeze more life from your laptop’s battery.
None of these tricks will turn a laptop without much stamina into an all-day workhorse, but they’ll help you go without an outlet for a while longer. Pay particular attention to your laptop’s display — that’s the big battery sucker.
