Do you keep your Bluetooth Adapter on at all times?

And if so, how much of a drain is it on the battery?

Also, whats the easiest/quickest way to turn the adapter on/off?

 

you could just have the switch on the right side set to only switch off BT and not Wifi. You can choose what the switch controls in BIOS. I have no idea how much it would save really but might be worth a try

 

I used to have it always on and the difference in battery life is around 20 minutes in my case.

 

Always on.

 

always on...maybe change the switch....don't know...batt life in my Precision is nill anyways...

 

I have it always on, only because I usually use a bluetooth mouse or headset while I'm on the computer.

 

I have mine disabled via the BIOS. I never use BT, but Dell gave it to me for free as part of a problem resolution earlier this year.

I suppose if I ever need it then I've got it.

 

IF I had one, I'd keep it off unless I was going to use it. I mean, you're (almost) always on WiFi, but rarely on bluetooth (most mice use dongles anyway, right?). So I'd keep it off.

Oh, and 15 minutes on light use seems like a reasonable reduction.

 

No, I only put it on when I use it.

 

always on with razer orochi mice, and always on power
I used to right click tray icon > Disable bluetooth to turn it off,
since I'm only using wi-fi switch for wifi only.
