Are you sick and tired of your
notebooks battery cutting out on you when you need it
most? Are you always buying new batteries because your old
ones aren’t lasting as long as they should be? If either
of these questions apply to you, then read on.
In this article I will discuss some of the things you can
do to conserve your batteries power so that your laptop
runs longer. I will also discuss some easy things you can
do to ensure that your battery gets the long life it
deserves.
First, let’s cover some of the things you can do
immediately to cut the amount of power your laptop is
sucking from the battery.
- Remove all cards from your notebooks slots when you are
not using them. Believe it or not, some of these cards
will suck power even when not being used!
- If your laptop has a power management function, use it.
Things like lowering the brightness of your screen and
turning off the screen saver can also help tremendously.
- Turn off your wireless port when not in use. This may
seem pointless, but power is used by the wireless port
scanning for the nearest “hot spot”
- Put your laptop in sleep or suspend mode rather than
rebooting it. Rebooting your laptop uses much more power
than simply letting it “sleep”.
- This one is something that many people should do –
Carry a spare battery. By purchasing a second battery you
can double the amount of time your laptop can go for.
The above recommendations work great for adding some much
needed time when it comes to your notebook battery, but
nothing will help if your battery isn’t being properly
cared for. Below are some general tips you can use to
ensure that your battery will function correctly.
- Do not store your battery in extreme temperatures –
Not too hot and not too cold.
- A new battery should be fully charged and then
discharged when you receive it.
- Discharge your notebooks battery fully before recharging
it again. Consider getting a rapid charger/conditioner for
this.
By following the above recommendations you can ensure a
long life from your laptop battery as well as optimal
performance.
