Image

Monitoring

We monitor your IT assets in real-time with strategic alerts that help our team ensure your IT investments are stable and available for use by your business. A fire department without smoke alarms can only reply once they see smoke in the distance, our advanced monitors help us catch those fires before they have even begun.

Maintaining

It is a major challenge to stay on top of everything going on in a network. Protocols change, updates are required, new concerns need to be addressed as they arise. It’s a major time sink. Instead of struggling through it yourself, we manage and adjust your IT assets proactively to ensure optimal performance and security, providing you and your business with complete peace of mind.

Maximizing

We help you get the most out of our IT assets by making sure they are always running optimally and according to the best standards of the industry.

Battery Hacking

Wanna Double the Length of Your Laptop Battery?

The secrets to make your laptop battery live longer

Could you imagine what it must have been like doing business 30 years ago, before you had a decent laptop?

 

It’s a horrible thought. And one that you only need to consider now and then, when you have an hour’s worth of work to do… but only 30 mins left on your laptop battery. Nightmare.

 

No one wants to be caught in the dreaded low battery limbo during a crucial meeting or presentation. But with a little know-how, you can extend your laptop battery's lifespan and keep it running optimally for years to come.

 

Understanding your battery is key. Most laptops today rely on lithium-ion batteries, which have a finite number of charge cycles. A charge cycle equals a full discharge from 0% to 100%, and each cycle diminishes the battery's capacity.

 

The golden rule? Avoid full discharges whenever possible… which means, don’t let the battery run out completely.

 

Let’s dive into your laptop's power settings to customize your battery preferences. Hibernation mode is your friend – it kicks in before your battery hits rock bottom. And don't forget to activate Battery Saver mode, a godsend for preserving power when your battery is running on fumes.

 

Next, it's time to declutter. Close background apps and say goodbye to unnecessary power drains. Toggle off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when they're not in use and dim screen brightness to conserve energy.

 

But what about charging etiquette? Contrary to popular belief, keeping your laptop plugged in won't harm your battery – modern devices are smarter than you think. Just steer clear of extreme temperatures and never let your battery dip below 20% if you can help it.

 

When it comes to storing your laptop for a little longer than usual, put it away with around 50% charge. And if you’re ever in doubt, some battery apps offer real-time insights into your battery's health.

 

Lastly, stay on top of software updates. New patches and upgrades can optimize performance and minimize energy consumption, giving your battery a new lease of life.

 

We help businesses round here get the most from their devices for as long as possible. If we can do the same for you, get in touch.
