I’ve read it’s best to keep the battery between about 20% and 80%, don’t let it drop too low or charge it all the way up. Supposedly that helps it last longer.

To enhance laptop battery life, dim the screen brightness and activate battery saver mode in Microsoft Windows or macOS. Shut down any running applications and background processes to save energy.

"I've found that closing unnecessary background apps and keeping my laptop at a moderate brightness level makes a big difference in battery life. Also, updating your operating system and drivers regularly can help optimize your laptop's power management. Another tip - try to avoid overcharging your battery; let it drop to 20% and recharge it when you can."

I've found that updating the laptop's BIOS and disabling unnecessary background applications can definitely help extend battery life, as mentioned in the thread. However, I also noticed a significant improvement after upgrading the RAM, as it allowed the laptop to efficiently manage tasks without putting excessive strain on the processor and thus reducing power consumption. This was a relatively simple and cost-effective solution for me.
