8 Ways To Conserve Battery Power For Longer Travel

1. Charge your gadget whenever possible

Look for a power outlet even if your smartphone or tablet is 80% charged. On the road, you never know when the next stop is and whether there will be a chance to replenish energy. It is possible that these few additional percentages will become decisive in the absence of a power source for a long time.

2. Always use the original charger

When you are going on the road, you want to take smaller and lighter things with you. However, it is better not to save on the charger. Take exactly the one that came with your gadget, as it will provide faster charging and protection against voltage surges. Universal travel chargers can be smaller and lighter, but you shouldn't trust them.

3. Take a tee with you

In places where tourists gather - airports, hotels, cafes - there are always not enough outlets. If you came a little later than the others, you will have to wait your turn. In this situation, a tee will help out, thanks to which you can not only connect yourself, but also help other sufferers. Or charge several of your gadgets at once.

4. Use flight mode

This mode turns off all wireless interfaces, including radio, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, which dramatically drain the battery. If you are not expecting a call and are not going to call anyone yourself, then you can activate the flight mode and do offline business. For example, read a book or listen to music.

5. Set dark wallpapers and dark app themes

This advice applies primarily to owners of devices with an AMOLED screen. The peculiarity of this technology is that when displaying in black, the display consumes much less energy. With constant use of the dark interface, power consumption can drop by 60%, so do not neglect this opportunity.

6. Remove unnecessary programs

Each active user has a set of them installed just "just in case, it might come in handy." However, these programs can silently send and receive data, update, and conduct other background activity. All these actions consume precious energy. That is why, by the way, many people think that the battery of the new device works better.

Remove everything from your smartphone that you definitely don't need during your trip. Immediately upon your return, you can install these programs back - if you remember about them, of course.

7. Decrease the brightness of the screen

This is an obvious advice that many for some reason forget about. Disable automatic brightness control and manually set the backlight to the lowest level you can see on the screen.

At first, it may not be very comfortable, but then the eyes will get used to it. And this is definitely better than being left without a phone at all.

8. Download All Content Before Traveling

This applies not only to movies and music, but also maps, books and even articles from the Internet. If everything that you may need on a trip is saved in the smartphone's memory in advance, then you can safely turn off the wireless interfaces, as we advised you in one of the previous paragraphs.

You won't waste battery power connecting to the web, searching for the content you want and waiting for it to download.
