I would like to know if apps consume a lot of battery power when it is deployed in Chromebook. Does the type of application being used affect the power consumption of Chromebook? If it does, could you explain how this process of excessive battery consumption affects the power level of the Chromebook?
Hello,
These are some applications and programs that consume a lot of battery power. Be careful and use them less.
The most application that consume a lot of battery power is Google Chrome.
Avoid using ScreenSavers.
Cut down on programs running in the background.
Cut down external devices.
Switch off Wireless.
The screen is one of the most thing that consume a lot of battery power.
The battery consumption doesn’t depend on the application you open because programs don’t set an amount of power they need to operate. Battery consumption depends on how you use your computer. Even if you don’t run applications but your Chromebook is running, it will still consume battery even if it is in idle mode but in a much lower phase.
When you run a program, the battery consumption will start to increase depending on how much resource the program use. If the application very frequently reads your hard drive or loads many files to the memory, it increases battery consumption. If the program uses more CPU, it will also add up to the battery consumption.
To simplify it, the battery consumption of a program depends on its behavior, whether in idle mode or working full, and how much resource are being utilized when the program is working. If you are worried that your battery will drain out easily, there should be no problem if you will plug your machine to the AC outlet while using it.
Connecting your Chromebook to the charger while using it will not shorten the life of the battery.
