One of the longer lasting batteries comes equipped with the Motorola ATRIX and people still feel like they don't have enough battery power on their hands. The phone's battery life heavily relies on what kind of activities you run on your phone. If you rarely use the Atrix for anything other than making calls, your phone may last days before it needs to be recharged. However, if you spend a lot of time browsing the web, playing games, running apps, and/or watching videos, the battery will drain much faster. Any activity that requires computer-like capabilities will use a lot of battery power. It's a good thing that there's many other ways to use the phone with a longer lasting battery.

If you have just purchased your Atrix, you should know that your Motorola Atrix battery is not fully charged. Before you start using your phone, plug it into the charger and wait until the battery is charged to full. Once the battery is at full power, play with your ATRIX until it has completely run out of battery power. Try not to charge the phone at all during this process. It can take a couple of full charging cycles for the battery to begin working optimally.

If you have used your phone for a long time, you may want to adjust your phone’s settings to save battery power. First, adjust the brightness of your display. The brighter the display of your phone, the quicker your battery will run out. It's also recommended that you clear your notifications, close applications after use, and turn off your Wi-Fi / Bluetooth capabilities when you're not using it.

Another great feature with the Motorola ATRIX is the "Battery Manager". You can find this feature in your “Settings.” The Battery Manager offers two different settings that help conserve battery. This first is called “Auto Brightness.” This setting will darken your screen when your battery is low on power. The second setting is called “Data Timeout.” This setting will stop all background updates when you aren’t using your phone. You may also change your “Battery Profile.” The default profile is the “Nighttime Saver” setting. If you want to extend your battery life, you can choose the “Maximum Battery Saver” profile. If you choose the maximum setting, your phone will stop all updates and dim the display after 15 minutes of not using your phone. This will conserve battery power every time you clip your phone into your Motorola Atrix holster.

There are also applications that can help Atrix users save power. Apps, like the JuiceDefender, Advanced Task Manager, and Green Power Battery Saver, will make your battery last longer. You can also make sure that your battery is always charged by purchasing a few extra Motorola Atrix accessories, like a car charger. That way, you will be able to charge your phone anytime it begins running dangerously low on power.
