You'll want to know just how long it'll run without being plugged in, and how you can maximize the efficiency of its battery.
The short version
- Laptops are at their most convenient when not plugged in — where their portable nature can really shine.
- To maximize that convenience, you'll want to make sure your laptop is lasting as long as it should.
- While there are many different types of laptops, each specialising in its own niche, there are still ways to figure out whether your laptop is receiving the proper mileage.
What happened
A laptop's niche is only part of the equation, though, as the type of charger you're using can also subtly affect battery life. Aftermarket chargers in particular may not deliver the precise voltage you need and could end up stressing your battery.
Why it matters
Though an aftermarket charger isn't a complete recipe for disaster, it's ill-advised if you want your battery to reach its full potential.
