Earlier this week we asked you to share your tips and tricks for squeezing more juice out of your mobile devices. Now we’re back with a roundup of those battery-extending tips.

其中一個主要的，也是最容易應用的技巧，就是關閉裝置中耗電量最高的元件。克里斯寫道：

I usually turn my screen brightness to the lowest setting and only charge when the battery is about to die.

對於那些好奇為什麼克里斯要等到電池電量低了再充電的人來說：在電池效能開始下降之前，電池的充電週期是有限的。舊的鎳鎘電池存在電池記憶體問題，但仍有基於充電的壽命週期（也就是說，一些讀者仍然發現鎳鎘電池是滿足他們需求的理想解決方案）。較新的鋰離子電池不再遭受電池記憶體問題的困擾，但它們必須有一個固定的生命週期。雖然效能明顯下降需要相當多的充電週期，電池實際需要更換也需要相當多的充電週期，但如果你真的想延長電池的壽命，那就值得關注了。

John Weiss使用快速開關關閉**上的高功率專案：

I use toggle ic*** to keep my 3g network, wi-fi connection, and GPS turned off. When I need them I turn them on, use them, and turn them off when done.

這些選項中的大多數都隱藏在系統選單中，因此在appstore/Marketplace中搜索快速訪問小部件是值得的。大多數情況下，我們需要**接入，但不需要Wi-Fi和GPS，關閉這兩個功能可以顯著延長電池壽命。

Michael跳過了整個開關程式和升級：

Rather than fiddle with the settings and lose functionality, I bought a third party battery. They’re less than $20, and some of them last twice as long as the stock battery.

That’s a decent solution, although most of our newer electronics have pretty good batteries, historically we’ve gone the upgrade route. It doesn’t make sense to use a 1200 mAh battery in your cellphone if you can get a cheap 2000mAh battery that fits in the same space.

Xaviant比簡單切換更進一步，並使用Tasker管理其連線：

For my laptop I made a hybrid power setting between low and max performance. On the battery it’s basically set to power saver, limiting processor state to about 80%, automatically turning off the display after 1 minute (If I happen to walk away and forget to close it), enabling sleep on lid close, hibernation after 30 minutes, things like that. I can usually get about a good 9 hours out of my laptop with these settings.

For my phone (Android), I use Tasker to turn off things like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth after about 10 minutes of no connectivity, and also to turn off when I go to sleep. I keep GPS off most of the time because I never really use it, And I usually get about 18 hours out of it before I ever need a charge. On top of that I also bought a universal backup battery from Duracell, just in case I ever kill it playing a game or something.

My iPod Touch is usually set to airplane mode when it’s off the dock. Just listening to music, it lasts me about 3 days before it ever needs a charge.
