For Zite Computer School, we see 10 laptops every week with swollen or dead battery because of heat. Here are 7 tested ways to make your battery last 3 years instead of 6 months.
1. Never Use Laptop for Bed or Cloth
Bed and cloth dey block fan. Heat go trap inside and battery go swell. Always use table or buy laptop stand wey cost only 5k for Computer Village. Your battery will thank you.
2. Unplug at 80%, Don't Wait for 100%
For Nigeria where light dey on and off, we like to charge to 100%. But charging to 100% every time dey kill lithium battery. If you can, unplug at 80-85%. For Windows 11, go to Settings > Battery > Set charging limit to 80%.

Screen na the biggest battery eater. Reduce brightness from 100% to 60%. You go gain extra 1 hour battery life. Press Fn + F5/F6 to reduce.
4. Turn Off Keyboard Light and Bluetooth When You No Dey Use Am
That fine keyboard light dey chop 15% battery every hour. Turn am off for day time. Same for Bluetooth.

Car wey park for sun fit reach 60 degrees. Battery fit swell and even explode. If you must leave am for car, put am for boot and cover with cloth.
6. Clean Your Fan Every 3 Months
