Tips to extend the battery life on the moto e4

Your particular usage will affect how long you can go before recharging your battery. Navigating, playing games, surfing the Web, making calls and texting all use energy.  You can install and use a wide variety of applications on your device, and each application has its own characteristics.

Thus your experience may vary day to day, depending on how you use your device.

Depending on your preferences, you can tailor how your device behaves by using some of the following tips:

• Charge each night so you start the day fully charged and ready to go.
• You can see what subsystem, component, or application is using the most power:  Go to Settings > Battery 
• If you are stationary in an area in which there is low or no cellular signal, it may be prudent to enter airplane mode unless you must be able to (try) to make or receive calls or texts.  Doing so will prevent the phone from increasing power output in an attempt to connect to the weak signal.
• When setting the phone down after use, quickly press the power key to turn the display off.
• Set Screen timeout less then 1 minute: From the Settings menu, scroll down and tap on Display and then tap on Sleep to select a faster time-out.
• Turn off applications actively using GPS, such as navigation applications when you no longer need them.  It is easy to forget to 'end navigation' when you reach your destination.  Swipe down from the notification bar to see if active navigation applications offer an option to quit or exit.  You can also adjust the locate mode to try and conserve battery life: Settings > Location > Change the mode to Battery saving
• Wi-Fi: in broad terms, data over Wi-Fi uses less energy than data over cellular (and will also save on usage if you have a cap).  However if Wi-Fi is not available you may choose to turn it off as well:  Swipe down from the top of the screen, and tap the quick setting Wi-Fi Off.
• Turn Bluetooth off when not in use: Swipe down with 2 fingers from the top of the screen, then tap Bluetooth > toggle Bluetooth off.
• Ensure you do not have duplicate email accounts in different applications. To check for duplicate accounts, touch Settings > Under Accounts touch the account type > Ensure there are no duplicates. To remove an account, touch the account > Touch Menu  > Touch Remove account
