Google’s Project Volta has been successfully implemented in Android L in the form of an improved battery life and long lasting performance. The system comes with a “battery saver” mode that allows you to extend the life of your battery up to 90 minutes. This will specially a boon for those who remain online most of the time. The new operating system logically eliminates the battery related issues that pose a constant problem in the performance of Android devices.

A new feature called “Battery Historian”, will allow developers to display the battery use information on their applications. Plus, a new API called “Job Scheduler”, enables developers to set certain limits or conditions on their apps, so that they stop running on the background on certain situations and thus saves a significant amount of battery.
