HOW YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR LAPTOP BATTERY FOREVER
As water is important to man, so
also battery to laptop.
Laptop users understand that the
performance of the whole system
depends a lot on the battery power.
Today,
modern graphics, hungry
applications and intensive operating
system are cutting down the life of
laptop battery every
day.
To make your laptop battery last, you
need
to take a good care of it.
Below are some tips that can help to
improve the performance of your
laptop battery and make it last longer.
>>1. Keep your laptop clean. Laptop
needs daily cleaning so as to avoid the
blockage of the air vents.
A blocked
air vents tends to generate more heat
thus
reducing the life span of the battery.
>>2. Avoid leaving your laptop inside
closed
car or direct sunlight because undue
heat
kills off a battery slowly.
>>3. Defrag your laptop hard drive. The
basic
rule is that the lower the CPU and hard
drive load, the longer the laptop
battery
runs.
Daily defragmenting the hard drive will lead to a lesser load which
will enable the laptop to run faster.
>>4. Disable screensavers.
Screensavers use CPU when PC is idle.
>>5. Lower screen brightness.
LCD screen and hard drive consumes
battery power a lot. By dimming the
brightness of the screen, some good
amount of battery
power.
>>6. Unplug unused external device.
Some
external devices such as flash drives,
speaker, external mouse and
keyboard etc are the biggest external
source that drains out the battery power.
If you don¡¯t need them when
running on battery,
I will advise you
to
plug them out to increase standby
time.
>>7. Use hibernate option instead of
sleep mode because the sleep mode
option tends to draw power from the
battery while hibernate option saves
the computer work
as is and then shuts down automatically.
>>8. Close unused programs. One needs
to close unused programs to extend
laptop battery life.
Whenever an
application is running in background,
the
CPU usage increase and the more the CPU runs, the more the battery power
that will be exhausting.
Always check the
taskbar to see running programs that
are of
no use to you.
Note that you need to avoid playing heavy games.
>>9. Add up more RAM if you¡¯re laptop
RAM is
low. If you laptop RAM is low, your
laptop
will use Hard Disk as virtual memory
and it will reduce the battery power.
>>10. Always try to discharge your
laptop
battery completely once in a week so
that
every cell of your battery will work
properly.
