Frequently asked questions: Battery and power
How can I extend battery life?
Battery life varies depending on how you use your BlackBerry device. To help battery power last longer, try any of the
following:
Dim the screen
Prolong battery life by changing your device settings to dim the screen. To adjust the screen brightness, choose a dark
colored wallpaper, or change the screen lock timeout.
On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings > Display.
Decrease volume
Turn down the device volume with the volume keys on the right side of your device.
To adjust other volume settings, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings > System
Volume or Notifications.
Close apps
Increase how long a single charge lasts by closing any apps or features that you finished using so that they aren't
continuously running in the background. Some features consume more battery power than others and should be closed or
turned off when not in use. For example, the camera, the BlackBerry Browser, Voice Control, GPS, and Bluetooth
technology.
