How to Make the Battery of the Blackberry Playbook Last Longer

By Gareth Jale


So when you're not using your Blackberry Playbook, just remember to turn the tablet off. Some people that own tablets prefer to simply keep them on, believing that they could need it at any time. Although this does save a few moments that would otherwise be needed to turn it back on and find a specific application, it is not good for the battery. The power that's needed to keep the tablet functioning shouldn't be drained unless it's being used.

Back light's are a feature that both smart phones and tablets both share. A back light allows the user to look through their electronic device in a dark setting. If it is nighttime or the owner is simply sitting in a room with poor lighting, a back light is helpful. However, unless it is dark or abnormally bright, there are few reasons to have it on high. A back light that is left on for a long time can consume the life of the battery. That's why, if you tone down the back light, your battery should last longer.

Unless a certain feature is essential, users should definitely try to turn it off. For example, should they find that they are hardly ever on the Internet, yet the feature is always on, it can cause problems. They should disconnect from it as often as they can. Although the camera on the tablet cannot be left on, it still comes with its own set of problems; taking too many pictures can bring about the need to charge the tablet to use it again. While it is understandable for a person to want to capture memories and stay connected to the civilized world, there are other devices out there that can fill that need.

This tablet should not be kept in a warm place. Putting it on top of a stove or leaving it out in the yard on a hot day will do it no good. It may seem harmless enough, as sometimes the owner cannot help where it ends up, but this is not something to make into a habit. It helps, at least externally, to protect the Playbook by looking into accessories such as a case or screen protector.

And as soon as your tablet is finished charging, you should unplug it as soon as possible. Although a fully charged battery cannot be overcharged it is still not a good idea. It may become overheated from the extra energy, and this can cause damage, not only to the battery but other internal features as well. It should never be left plugged in overnight if it does not require much charging, no matter how harmless the move may seem to the owner. If they want to be responsible, they should keep this in mind.
