While laptop batteries have been increasing in their capacity for a few years, it’s still very likely that you will experience a low battery level at some point or another. When this happens and you aren’t able to plug in your charger, then you might be looking for a way to get a little more life out of that remaining charge.

This automatically adjusts some of the processes and settings on your computer in an effort to maximize your remaining battery life. Our tutorial below will show you how to adjust this setting so that Battery Saver comes on when you reach a certain percentage of remaining battery charge.
