A quick fix to lengthen the battery before replacing it is to limit your processor’s clocking speed. This can be done by simply left clicking the battery icon on the taskbar, and moving the Power Mode slider all the way to the left.
Before you begin, ensure the laptop is turned completely off and is NOT plugged in.
