Introduction
Does your laptop battery not last as long as it once did? You remove it and, after an hour, it’s dead—or perhaps it won’t charge to all the way at all?
Battery malfunctions are one of the most frequent issues we repair at 971 Fixing, and in most instances, they’re preventable or a simple fix. Here’s why batteries drain so quickly—and what you can do about it.
Check Battery Health
Laptop batteries have a short lifespan (normally 2–4 years).
✅ Tip: On Windows, run powercfg /batteryreport to verify battery health. On Mac, System Report → Power.
When your cycle count is high or health falls below 60%, it’s replacement time.
Shut Down Unnecessary Background Applications
Applications such as Chrome, Zoom, and software updaters run in the background and consume power.
✅ Tip: Open Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) to shut them down.
Adjust Power Settings
Bright screens, Bluetooth, and keyboard lights burn energy.
✅ Tip: Turn on Battery Saver mode and lower brightness when battery is being used.
Disable Startup Programs
Too many startup programs lengthen boot time and impact battery life.
✅ Tip: Turn off non-essential programs in Startup Apps under Task Manager.
Watch Out for Malware
Viruses and spyware quietly drain battery life.
✅ Tip: Scan your laptop regularly using good antivirus software.
Stay Away from Extreme Temperatures
Heat shortens battery life and also harms inner cells.
✅ Tip: Keep your laptop in a chilled, breezy place and never on beds or pillows.
Obtain a Battery Replacement (If Necessary)
You may need to replace your battery if it dies quickly in spite of everything.
✅ At 971 Fixing, we provide:
Original or premium compatible batteries
Quick replacement (usually same-day)
