A method and system for reducing resource consumption to extend battery life based on an estimated time to a destination location is provided. A mobile station having mobile station resources, and having a battery that provides power to the mobile station resources for executing applications, is located at a current location and is heading to a destination location. The mobile station allocates a first extent of the resources for execution of at least one application by the mobile station. The mobile station estimates a current travel time from the current location to reach the destination location, and estimates a current remaining power of the battery. Based on the estimated remaining power and the estimated travel time to reach the destination, the mobile station reduces the allocation of resources for execution of the at least one application from the first extent to a second extent.
