5 best battery saver apps for Android

Battery saving is a land of snake oil and half solutions. It truly is difficult to find an application that actually saves you battery since most battery saver measures are manual, including turning the brightness on your screen down, turning down the frequency that apps sync data, and other tried and true methods. In most cases, you see a bigger improvement when you understand what causes battery drain and how to identify and mitigate your biggest causes. Still if you want to try out some apps that might help, here are the best battery saver apps for Android!

Battery Guru (root and non-root)

Price: Free / Up to $19.99

Battery Guru is an excellent battery saver app. It doesn’t work like booster apps or service terminators. Instead, it helps you keep your battery health as high as it can be. The app contains notifications for battery temperature limits and charging limits so you don’t wear out your battery sooner. Additionally, there are some battery saving modes that can help reduce battery drain so you charge less often. It has a Doze Mode customization tool so you can make it even more aggressive if needed. However, that last feature requires root or for you to input some ADB commands to give the app permission to do those things. It’s great for power users.

LUX Battery Master (non-root)

Price: Free

LUX Battery Master is one of the most popular battery saving apps. It identifies apps that wake up your phone more frequently. It can also help keep them from doing that so often. The app also has modern features for Android Nougat and beyond with Aggressive Doze and Doze modes. This app is useful for non-root devices. All of the features are free.

Highlights features:

* Battery Saver mode.

* Optimize battery usage.

* Real-time battery electric current monitoring.

GSam Battery Monitor (root and non-root)

GSam Battery Monitor is another popular battery saver app. It won’t do anything to save you battery life on its own. However, it can provide you with information about the apps draining your battery. You can use that information to improve your own battery life. It can show details on wakelocks, wake time, and even CPU and sensor data. It faced some difficulties with the latest versions of Android. However, you can use an ADB command to give GSam access to more granular app usage stats and other controls. There is also an optional root option if you use a rooted phone, but the ADB option should work for most people, root or not.

Servicely (root only)

Price: Free / Up to $13.99

Servicely is one of the better root-only battery saver apps. It works by stopping services that run in the background. It helps prevent rogue apps from going bananas and keeps them from syncing all the time. This is great for apps you like having, but you don’t want syncing all the time. You may get a delay with stuff like notifications, though, so do use this tool carefully. This app works well with wakelock detectors as a potent one-two punch. It’s highly configurable with enough options to make it work how you want. You can get the pro version as a $3.49 in-app purchase.

Wakelock Detector (root only)

Price: Free / $1.99

Wakelock Detector is one of the best battery saver apps. As the name implies, this app helps detect wakelocks. It can detect both partial and full wakelocks. You can also get a list of all the apps that are causing it. From there, you can take steps to uninstall the apps, find replacements, or use another app like Greenify or Servicely to put a stop to that nonsense. This is the one we’d recommend first to root users.
