When choosing a tablet, it makes sense to pay attention to the power of its battery. The tablet will be useless if it holds a charge for a very short time. How long does a tablet battery typically last, and are there ways to increase it?
The quality and amount of tablet battery life
The operating time without recharging the tablet, which is indicated by the manufacturers, often differs significantly from the real operating time. This is due to the way the manufacturer checks the battery.
Testing is quite simple - the video on the tablet turns on and it is recorded how much charge is enough. At the second stage, they turn on the music and fix the time again. Then they do the same with surfing the Internet. The average time shows the truth, but often manufacturers divide it according to the points of their verification. Why doesn't this reflect reality?
Because the user factor is not taken into account. It is the human factor that plays a role in battery discharge. As you know, tablet owners often do not do one thing for the entire duration of the charge. Users can surf the Internet and listen to music at the same time, they can watch a movie and be distracted by a Skype call. Naturally, with such use, it is very difficult to predict how long the tablet will work without charging.
Simple tips for increasing tablet battery life
There is a common misconception that the tablet should be charged as little as possible. In fact, the more often the tablet is charged, the better. After all, then the battery capacity becomes larger, but the wear and tear will also be faster. However, even if you charge it every day, the battery, according to the manufacturer, will work for 4 years, while the claimed life of the tablet is only 2 years. Therefore, do not be afraid to charge it 1-2 times a day.
The second tip is to pay attention to the programs installed and running in the background. Any application always puts a strain on the processor and wastes battery. You should constantly turn off programs in the background so that the tablet works longer.
The third tip is to turn off Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth if they are not needed at the moment. They consume a significant amount of energy. When you watch a movie, you definitely do not need the Internet and the cellular network, unless, of course, you are watching it on the Internet. And Bluetooth is almost never needed.
And the last tip - adjust the brightness of the screen to a lower side, if it is convenient at the moment. Screen brightness always consumes a lot of power.
