Which web browser do you use? If it is Google Chrome, then you may be required to keep your battery chargers ON more often than before. As a laptop user you will be surprised to hear that Google Chrome on Microsoft Windows is actually exhausting your laptop’s battery more than normal. You may have not realized, but the browser is actually consuming more of your laptop’s battery than other browsers like IE or Mozilla.
The solution to this problem is that either you stop using Chrome browser and move to other options like Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
However, Google has finally paid attention to the bug and have assigned Chrome team to fix it on a priority basis.
