Get Better Battery Life On Your Mac

Here are a few tips to get better battery life on your Mac.

#1. Make sure that your hard drive is set to sleep when possible, and that your screen backlight will automatically dim when your not using your Mac. If you have a graphics setting on your Mac, make sure it's set to "Better Battery Life". These settings can be accessed from Settings > Energy Saver.

#2. Make sure that you don't have any unneeded menu-bar apps running.

#3. Turn off Bluetooth if you're not currently using it. This seems like a small thing, but it actually can make a noticeable difference.

#4. I know this is an easy one, but make sure that you screen and keyboard backlight are only as bright as you need them.

#5. Block online flash using ClickToFlash. Flash ads on the Internet can kill your battery life. Viewing flash uses a good bit of CPU power, which can result in decreased battery life.
