Caring for Your Laptop Battery

Post by genie_in.a_bottle on Tue Aug 05, 2008 6:25 am

There are many ways you can go about caring for you laptop battery so
you do not have this problem. Here are a few tips and tricks to make
your battery use its full potential.

The first thing you should
do for your laptop battery is condition and cycle it several times when
you first get your computer. This will help your battery reach its full
life potential and last longer. Here is how you do this trick: When you
first get your laptop you need to let it fully charge and then take it
off of the cord and let it fully discharge. You need to do this eight
to ten times before the battery has reached its full capacity and you
do not have to do it all at once.

Now that you know how to get
you battery to its full capacity lets look at some ways of making the
battery last longer when you are unable to get to an outlet to
recharge.

When you are using your laptop on battery you should
turn your screen brightness down to the lowest level. This can allow
your battery to have up to ten more minutes of additional life time
before you have to recharge. This is one of the most effective ways of
increasing your battery life.

Shut off your Wi-Fi connection
unless you absolutely need it. Believe it or not using a Wi-Fi
connection can actually take a lot of battery power. So unless you are
near an outlet or using an outlet try not to use the internet
However, it is understandable that some people this is not an option
and they need the Internet constantly therefore there are more ways to
increase battery life.

Make sure that you shut down and exit
any programs that are not currently being used by the system or you
personally. Unused programs that run in the background will take up
more of the processor 's memory and therefore making it run harder. When the process runs harder it will decrease your battery life.

There
are many more ways listed online that can help you increase your
battery life. The ones listed above are the most effective that have
been found. Remember laptops are made to last a while and be used
without an extension cord but sometimes there are defects in the
batteries. If you think that you have a defective battery call the
manufacturer they should be able to replace it at no cost to you.
