Lower your screen brightness

•    You can adjust it to a comfortable setting that uses less power.
•    Lowering the brightness to about half will increase your battery life substantially.

Standby 

•  When you are not using your Chromebook, put it in standby mode by closing the lid.
• Upon opening, simply enter your password to jump right back into action!

Shut It Down

• This will save even more battery than standby because it minimizes battery drain to almost nothing.
• It also only adds about 5 seconds to your log in time, so why not?

Close Programs

• Close any apps and tabs that you are not using. It will make your Chromebook run faster as well as save power!
• The more apps you have open, the more power is needed to run them, so close them out if you are not currently using them.

Lower Volume

• This isn’t the largest culprit of battery drain, but it does contribute to it.
• Whether you are using speakers or headphones, keeping the volume down will reduce battery use a little.

Temperature

• Do not leave your Chromebook at extreme high or low temperatures for a long period of time.
• Also, do not leave it in direct sunlight.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Charge your Chromebook EVERY NIGHT!

  The best way to make it through the day is to start with a full battery!
