The ultimate guide to extending your Pixel battery life.

Leverage your Pixel’s battery-saving features with these quick fixes to get the longest runtime from a single charge.

Is your Pixel battery draining fast? This ultimate guide to extending your Google Pixel's battery life offers tips and tricks that will keep your phone’s performance and capacity in top nick.

Adaptive Battery harnesses your habits.

Your Pixel has a built-in, AI-powered feature that optimises for smarter power management – Adaptive Battery. It learns your habits and automatically ensures your most essential apps have the energy they need, while reducing power to the apps you rarely use. This optimisation is driven by the Tensor chip in Pixel phones, like the advanced Tensor G5 chip in Pixel 10 Pro, without you needing to do a thing. It adapts to your routines and automatically reduces power elsewhere, so you can do more of what you love for longer on your Pixel.

Charge smarter overnight with Adaptive Charging.

Leaving your phone plugged in overnight may affect its long-term battery health. Luckily, Adaptive Charging helps protect your battery life by intelligently managing the charging speed. When you plug in your Pixel at night, it will charge to 80%, then finish the final charge to 100% before your morning alarm. This reduces wear and helps maintain your Pixel battery’s capacity in the long run.

Use these simple tips for a longer-lasting charge.

Your Pixel's smart features are just the start. You can take a few simple steps to get even more out of your phone's battery every day – think of these as life hacks for your phone.

Tip 1: Manage your display for instant results.

Your phone’s screen is a major power consumer. Turning on dark theme is an easy way to save battery. You can also switch on adaptive brightness, which automatically adjusts your screen’s brightness to the light around you, saving power whilst ensuring it remains bright enough for you to see without squinting.

Tip 2: Stay up to date with app and software updates.

Google is constantly releasing updates that bring better performance and battery life to your Pixel. Keeping your operating system and apps up to date is an easy check you can do to ensure your Pixel runs smoothly.

Your Pixel continues to get better over time with regular Pixel Drops updates for seven years from launch1. Automatic OS and security updates amp up your Pixel and provide new and improved features for the camera, Gemini, and more. Pixel Drops gives you that new phone feeling every few months.

Tip 3: Toggle off to power on: Conserve battery life by disconnecting.

If you're not actively using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, turning them off is an easy win for your battery. Similarly, if you're in an area with poor cell coverage, your Pixel will use power trying to connect. A brief switch to Airplane mode when you don't need a connection will make a noticeable difference.

Or, switch to Extreme Battery Saver, which dramatically restricts apps, pauses most notifications, and slows down processing to conserve every last bit of power for you2. Extreme Battery Saver on Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro can even last up to 100 hours2.

Google has authorised service partners right across Australia who can quickly find issues and replace your battery and parts using genuine components.
