The Razer Blade 15 is a formidable gaming laptop known for its exceptional performance and sleek design. However, like any laptop, its battery life can sometimes fall short of expectations. If you’re looking to extend the runtime of your Razer Blade 15, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you optimize its battery life.
Disable Unnecessary Background Processes
Unnecessary background processes can drain your battery without you even realizing it. To disable them:
1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
2. Click on the “Processes” tab
3. Sort processes by “Power usage”
4. Right-click on processes with high power usage and select “End task”
Adjust Display Settings
Your display is one of the biggest battery hogs. Here’s how to optimize it:
1. Reduce brightness: Lower the display brightness to conserve power.
2. Enable Adaptive Brightness: This feature automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient light.
3. Set a shorter display timeout: The time it takes for the display to turn off when idle.
Optimize Power Plan Settings
Windows offers various power plans to control power usage. To optimize:
1. Go to Control Panel > Power Options
2. Select “Power saver” or “Balanced” mode
3. Adjust additional settings like display timeout and sleep mode
Use Battery Saver Mode
When you need to squeeze out every bit of battery life, enable Battery Saver Mode. It automatically limits background activity and reduces performance. To enable:
1. Go to Settings > System > Battery
2. Toggle on “Battery saver”
Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
When not in use, disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to save power.
1. Right-click on the network icon in the taskbar
2. Select “Open Network & Internet settings”
3. Toggle off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Undervolt the CPU
Undervolting slightly reduces the voltage supplied to the CPU, resulting in lower power consumption. However, this requires advanced technical knowledge and may void your warranty.
Use External Peripherals
External peripherals like keyboards and mice can drain your battery. Use wired peripherals instead when possible.
