How to extend the battery life of your iDevice

When you get an iPad, an iPhone or an iTouch, you have made a sizable monetary investment in your technology. You're also relying heavily on the device's battery to keep running and connected. With the help of a few common sense tips, you can make sure your iDevice of choice gets the most out of its battery. That will prevent you not only from having to swear at your phone in the middle of a road trip, but also from having to pay Apple to replace it for you.

1. Keep it Out of the Light

Using your iDevice in direct sunlight for an extended period of time will hurt your battery, and make it harder to hold a charge (not to mention the overheating issues). Keep it at about the same range of temperature as your own body and you will be fine.

2. Turn Down the Brightness

By turning down the brightness on your screen, you will reduce the amount of battery that is used to keep it lit. You do not have to make it so dim that you have trouble seeing, but choosing the lowest setting that's still comfortable for you will help. In iOS5, Brightness can be found directly under the Settings app.

3. Use Wi-Fi Instead of 3G When You Can

Using Wi-Fi instead of 3G will enhance your battery life by about an hour, according to Apple. So, when you have the choice, take the time to connect to the Wi-Fi network for your browsing. The additional bonuses here, of course, are that it's faster and that you'll save your data download limits when you need it.

4. Keep Push Notifications to A Minimum

Every time you receive a push from an app, you are forcing what may be a sleeping phone to wake up, and that uses up your battery life. Since the odds are that your friends' Facebook statuses are not that critical, save the push only for the most important of information.
