Battery life can be affected by a variety of factors. To obtain optimal battery life, it is recommended that the following guidelines are followed:
- Verify that the battery of your drive is fully charged before use
- Use the Seagate Media App
- Disable Internet Mode
- Stream to only one device connected directly to the Seagate Wireless Wi-Fi network
- Turn on Stream and Download mode
- Let the drive index in advance (if a lot of content was added turn the drive on and let it sit while it catalogs the files)
- Play only .mp4 (non-DRM) videos that has less than a 4Mb/s bit rate
- Minimize the distance between the Seagate Wireless device and your mobile device
