How To Extend The Battery Life of Your Blackberry

There are several things you can do to extend the life of your
blackberry's battery between charges, these are discussed below in no
specific order:

1. Set Email Filters.

Set some email filters to block unnecessary messages received on your
bb. The fewer wireless transmissions your BlackBerry makes, the longer
your battery will last.

2. Decrease the backlight timeout and/or brightness.

This is especially true for the newer 7100, and 7290 models.

Go to Options --> Screen/Keyboard to set the backlight options.

3. Disable wireless sync on applications that you do not use, e.g. Memopad.

Is it really necessary to transmit memopad data over the air? If not,
then just disable Wireless Synchronization from the Memopad Options.

4. Turn Wireless Off when you are in areas of poor coverage.

The BlackBerry will greatly increase it's output in poor coverage, and
this can be very draining on your battery.

5. Set the Auto On/Off.

Unless you're on call 24 hours a day, chances are you won't be using
your BlackBerry late at night. So set the Auto On/Off to shut your
BlackBerry off.

6. Set your profiles to have the BlackBerry vibrate and ring less
often. Even just reducing the number of beeps can give you a little
extra battery life.

As a last resort, if your BlackBerry battery simply doesn't last long
enough, you can buy an extra battery!

Enjoy.
