Step 2

Turn off battery draining programs

Many programs will run in the background and call on your processor’s full power for even simple tasks. While this may help their performance, it also drains your battery faster when you’re not plugged in. Economy mode will turn off power-sapping programs with the click of a button.

Click on Economy Mode (battery icon) in the lower left corner. If you’ve never used it before, you'll be able to choose between moderate or maximum power saving.
