Do you have problems with the battery of your Xiaomi mobile? Do you think that the battery consumes more than normal? It is true that some MIUI updates have affected the battery performance, but most of the time it is due to a bad configuration of the mobile.
So it's just a matter of customizing some options to improve your mobile battery. So get ready we will spend the next few minutes adjusting the settings of your Xiaomi so that you take advantage of the full potential of the battery.

Control application activity
We all love trying new applications and having all our favorites installed on our mobile. Maybe we will forget later, but most will continue to consume resources, since they work in the background. This translates into more battery consumption, lower performance.
To solve this go to Settings >> Battery and Performance >> Battery saving in applications. Once you choose this option, it will show you the entire list of apps installed on the device, so you will have to go one by one to adjust the settings in the background.
You can apply battery saver without affecting the activity of the app, or be more drastic and reduce the features that run in the background. Depending on the importance of the app for you, you can choose the third or fourth option.
Let the system optimizer do the work for you
If you don't want to go through the task of optimizing each installed app, then let the mobile system take care of the process automatically. To do this, go to Settings >> Battery and Performance and select Optimize.
It will show you the applications that are affecting the use of the battery and if you need to modify any aspect of the configuration to optimize its performance. If you agree with the measures he proposes then allow me to make the changes.
Automatically turn off mobile data when you're not using it
Another option that you can configure to give a plus to the battery of your Xiaomi is to do without mobile data when you are not using the device. And since it is almost impossible to remember this detail every time we turn off the screen, we can configure it to activate automatically.
Go to Battery and performance and tap the gear wheel to bring up lock screen options. And the first you will find is "Disable mobile data when the device is locked."
Activate a plan B
If you have already activated all the options that we mentioned and optimized the battery, but you need it to perform a little more than normal for X situation, you can resort to Energy Saving. This applies a series of measures in the system to prioritize battery saving.
To activate it, just look for the energy saving icon on the top panel.
Although you can do this manually whenever you want, you can also configure it to activate automatically. For example, you can schedule it to activate in a certain period of time.
Track battery consumption
To know how to improve the battery you have to know what resources or processes affect its performance. To do this, go to Settings >> Battery and performance and choose the Battery usage statistics option.
In this section you will see if there is excessive use of the battery. Too many apps working in the background? Some unknown app is draining the battery? Have you spent many hours playing? According to the report, you will know how to modify your activity on the mobile so that the battery has good performance.
And of course, don't forget the little actions that contribute to battery life, such as reducing the number of notifications from apps, controlling the brightness or applying Dark Mode, etc. A series of good habits that will contribute to the useful life of your device.
