1, Charge your mobile to the fullest possible

You do not need to be sure of a fully charged when your phone suggests so by turning the orange light to green, You need to unplug the phone when that happens and see whether the orange light appears if it does you need to recharge the phone again until the orange light changes to green for one and for all.

2, Use the Power management widget

This widget will tell you whether any of your applications like Bluetooth, WIFI or GPS is contributing to your battery power loss if yes then you can turn off the application and save some power. Also, this widget will tell you whether the brightness level is optimum for your phone or is it wasting which can also be readjusted accordingly.

3, Keep it away from Magnets

One thing that should always be kept in mind is that the Droid features a car mode which drains out the battery at extreme rates so you should always keep it away from anything that contains magnetic material. If Droid detected the magnet around, it will switch to Car Mode, consuming the battery reserves quickly.

4, Use the App-killer

This is one useful widget- this widget basically shuts down any apps that might be running idle and draining your battery. It is a free app so go to your market to install it.

5, Use Airave

This is another problem that is applicable to all phones not only the Droid if you stay in a place where the signal for your phone is not appropriate then you probably need this the most because your phone will waste valuable battery life in trying to catch a better signal. Instead you can use the Airave app that will boost your signal quality and hence boost your battery life a little.

6, Use the general battery saving suggestions

Sometimes the general battery saving suggestions can also prove to be very efficient some of which are:
