Description
Batter issues are very common and
the main reason behind these issues is the programs that you use. If you are
encoding a high-quality movie file then it will surely eat up your battery.
Thus, to preserve battery life OS X Mavericks has implemented some features
like App Nap.
Solution:
This app is very useful in
pausing unused programs so as to allow processors to maintain a lower use of
energy. Also, you can use common power-saving method such as reducing the
brightness of your system’s screen as well as disabling the unused components
including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi controllers.
Mavericks offer you better ways
for assessing poor battery life. By selecting Energy section of Activity
Monitor, you can see a default column labeled with “Energy Impact” that is the
amount of power used by that program. You can sort the list by this column and
those programs which are using high energy should be closed to maintain battery
life.
The Energy section of Activity
Monitor shows the applications that were running in the past 8 hours. Thus,
there may be background processes that were contributing to lower battery life.
For this, go to the View menu and choose “All Processes” to get the details of all
running applications. Furthermore, you can sort the list by the column labeled "Requires
High Perf GPU." This shows which programs are using more powerful graphics
card on systems. You can quit those programs that say “yes” in the "Requires
High Perf GPU" column.
Although Activity Monitor is a
great tool for assessing process load yet, you can go for other applications. For
opening Battery menu extra, check the box of "Show battery status in menu
bar" in the Energy Saver system preferences. After this, you can see the
list of apps using more power. Selecting any app will open Activity Monitor so
as to show other statistics about it.
