How long can your laptop battery last?2hr,3hr,4hr and so on………Let’s extend your battery life by

1.Change power scheme to Power Saver

Yea.It makes a difference.Changing to “Power Saver” instead of Balance and High Performance is a must and it really extend your laptop battery life.

2.Dim your screen

3.No Wifi or Bluetooth

If you are not surfing the net or not using Bluetooth,you must turn off both of them.

4.No multi-tasking

You must avoid this.Multi-tasking consume more energy.Computer can multitasking,human can’t.

5.No music

Use a mp3 player or mobile phone instead.

6. No heavy program

No Photoshop,No AutoCAD,No After Effect and No HEAVY PROGRAM and GAMES.

7.Reduce unnecessary background program

8.No blocked ventilation

Make sure that your laptop ventilation is free from dust and blockage.

9.No device is connected

Bad example.Don’t do this.

10.No Sidebar or Gadget

Turn them off.They are useless!

11.Use more RAM

Using RAM instead of Virtual Memory which from your hard disc really save some electric.Because RAM doesn’t have any moving component whereas virtual memory which from your hard disc has moving component.Install bigger RAM if your PC are “under-memory”!

12.Use Solid State Hard Disc

If you really want to waste some money.You can replace your standard Hard Disc to Solid State Hard Disc which is faster,cooler,quiet and eco but they are costly!

13.Defragment your Hard Disc

Have you defragmented your hard disc?Defragment it now to enjoy faster speed and extend your battery life.Make sure you don’t defragment while on battery mode!

14.No DVD or CD

Ya,it is true.Do not watch video from DVD or CD while on battery mode.

15.No rusty or dirty connector

You should clean the connector between computer and battery.They must always free from rust and dust.Rusty connector reduce efficiency.

16.Get bigger battery

Get a 12-cell or beyond battery instead of 6-cell or less battery.100% improve!

17.No ScreenSaver

ScreenSaver is useless especially you are using battery.Set automatically turn off the screen,hibernate or stand by is better!

18.Hibernate first!

If you plan to walk around with your laptop for 10 min,you should use hibernate instead of standby!

19.Eco Processor

If you plan to get a new computer that have long battery life.You can get processor with Intel Atom or Intel Duo Core 2 Solo which are big energy saver!But I doesn’t love their performance……

20.No transparency

Your computer shouldn’t look sexy…..
