2. Triage<\/strong> – The longer you\u2019re going to be away from your next opportunity to recharge, the more important it becomes that you don\u2019t use that precious energy for anything you don\u2019t strictly need.

<\/a>3. Buy an extended life laptop battery<\/strong>. If an average-sized camel stores only so much electricity (and never confuses its metaphors), a fatter camel will store more. Many laptop computer manufacturers sell high capacity laptop battery packs<\/strong><\/a> for their notebook PCs, whose primary drawbacks are a bit more weight and an inelegant bump popping out the back of wherever the battery goes. For this, you can usually get a 50% or more increase in battery life. If you\u2019re going to be off the grid for a while, this boost to your power supply is delightful.<\/p>\n
