We've noticed that battery life is one pain point that all of us experience in our professional and personal hardware, each and every day. So, we thought that it would be best to go over some tips and tricks that will help you sustain your device's battery life, and maximize the lifespan of the battery, too!

MacBook Portables:

Apple recommends keeping your version of macOS up to date as patches and software updates often include technology that will improve battery life.

Be sure to optimize your settings to achieve ideal battery life. Apple offers built in tools within System Preferences to maintain your battery and keep your laptop's battery lifespan to its maximum lifespan. Review your Energy Saver preferences and set screen sleep and screen brightness within a range that is usable, yet still preserving power for when you really need it.

On all devices be careful and don't overcharge your battery, and charge only when it is necessary. I’ve found that charging the battery when it’s necessary rather than preemptively will keep the lifespan of the battery to its full capacity.
