There have been some advancements, and devices with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/product_category.php\/1+Laptop-Battery\">extended life batteries<\/a> can sometimes provide better battery life depending on the settings in place. Apple recently filed for a patent that would help a device predict a user\u2019s habits in an effort to extend battery life as long as possible. The patent was spotted by\u00a0<em>AppleInsider<\/em> and is titled \u201cInferring User Intent From Battery Usage Level and Charging Trends.\u201d<br \/>\n<a title=\"Dell latitude e5510 laptop battery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/dell\/latitude-e5510-battery.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dell-latitude-e5510-laptop-battery.jpg\" alt=\"dell-latitude-e5510-laptop-battery\" width=\"660\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dell-latitude-e5510-laptop-battery.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dell-latitude-e5510-laptop-battery-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dell-latitude-e5510-laptop-battery-150x90.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nUsing those predictions, the device could then alter various parameters &#8211; like screen brightness or the CPU clock speed \u2014 to either conserve battery life or deliver maximum processing power.

Most devices already have sensors to adjust the display \u2013 if activated by the user \u2013 depending on the lighting condition, but this also takes into consideration the task at hand.

Cupertino isn\u2019t the only one looking to extend our device usage as long as possible. Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S5 has a new low-power setting that changes the screen to black and white and eliminates unneeded software so that the device can operate much, much longer \u2013 still offering the ability to place calls and send text messages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new power management system Apple is exploring that would learn users&#8217; habits and dynamically adjust the device&#8217;s performance.
