Battery

Why am I not getting the maximum amount of battery life in between charges?

    1. Try powering off your device in between use. Even if it is idle or in sleep mode, your battery will still slightly drain.
    2. Close any applications that may be running in the background. Continuing to run apps in the background will cause your battery to drain faster.
