How long does your Laptop Battery last ? . I use Dell XPS 15 and the laptop battery lasts for around 2 hours and 30 minutes .

The Battery backup time depends on various factors like

• Screen brightness
• USB’d or external harddisks connected
• Operating System settings
• Bluetooth or Wifi enabled etc.

Inorder to get the maximum battery life , we need to optimize and if possible disables few things that are not used often .

Microsoft has a tool called Microsoft Fix It . This tool also does the job of optimizing your Windows Settings which can help in getting better battery backup .

Download Microsoft Fix It from Microsoft Support site and install it and run it
