How can I improve the battery life of my Android device?

[alex12700]

I've been using my Android phone for a while now, and I've noticed that the battery drains quite quickly. I've tried lowering the screen brightness and closing unused apps, but the battery life still isn't great. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to help extend the battery life of an Android device? Are there specific settings or apps that you recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @alex12700 

• What device and what is your usage.
• What is your usage under the battery settings.
• Have you run device care under settings (if you have this option).
• When did you last restart your device. 
• Is your firmware up-to-date. 

Closing apps is not the best option becase the OS will optimise to your usage and sleep those apps you don't use. 

Thanks

The battery usage section of most Android phones breaks down the battery usage app-by-app.

Can you quantify what "isn't great" means with your battery life?
