Stop killing your laptop battery: 9 fixes that actually make it last longer

One of the most frustrating aspects of an aging laptop is how the battery life diminishes. Even super-long-lasting laptops eventually decay, and what once lasted a full day starts needing a charge before the work day ends. Before long, you’re using it plugged in all the time.

But it doesn’t have to be this way! Modern laptops are designed to be efficient, long-lasting machines. If you treat them right and take good care of them, you can make sure the battery maintains its longevity for much longer—at least a few extra years.
