Do you often find your Android-powered smartphone running out of juice when you are trying to make an important call? Well, that's what battery booster apps are for. This special type of apps, available on the Android Market, can increase your battery life by as much as 30%. Simply install one of these on your handset and run it. The app should let you squeeze a lot more juice out of your phone than you ever could before.

Most battery booster apps operate in basically the similar way. When you start up the app, you will be shown a list of apps presently running on your mobile device. From there, you can select the apps you wish to shut down. The more apps you "kill", the more energy you will be able to save. Some of the apps even come with a one-touch energy saving button, to free up resources still being consumed by remnants of apps that you have shut down already.

Battery booster apps can be a great tool in the hands of an avid Android user. If you are in the habit of chatting with friends for hours, or watching videos for extended periods of time, then these apps must be there in your handset.
