How can you manage mobile device power in the workplace?

1 Turn off unnecessary features

One of the easiest ways to save power on your mobile device is to turn off features that you don't need or use frequently. For example, you can disable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and NFC when you are not using them, or switch to airplane mode when you don't need any wireless connectivity. You can also lower the brightness of your screen, reduce the volume of your speakers, and disable vibrations and notifications. These features can drain your battery quickly and can be turned on again when you need them.

2 Use power-saving modes

Most mobile devices have built-in power-saving modes that can automatically adjust the settings and performance of your device to conserve power. For example, you can activate low-power mode, battery saver mode, or ultra power-saving mode depending on your device and operating system. These modes can limit the background activity of apps, reduce the screen resolution, and restrict the network access of your device. You can also customize these modes to suit your preferences and needs.

4 Charge your device properly

How you charge your device can also affect its power management and battery health. You should avoid letting your battery drop below 20% or charge above 80%, as this can reduce its capacity and lifespan. You should also use the original charger and cable that came with your device, or use a compatible and certified one. You should avoid charging your device in extreme temperatures, or using it while charging, as this can generate heat and damage your battery.
