The proper use of laptop can extend laptop battery life

Laptop battery life is indeed a headache issue to us, although we can not make any changes to Laptop battery, but we can improve the utility by changing the habits of notebook using, so that battery life is lengthened. These more than 10 tips below is the practical method prepared for notebook users to extend battery life.

 

1. Defrag regularly

 

Defragging your hard drive that allows to work faster, make the hard disk defrag on a regular basis to maintain effective state, of course, defrag when using an external power supply. The disk response speed become quicker and working time become shorter, it will certainly reduce the power consumption to extend laptop battery life.

 

2. To reduce the screen brightness

 

Most of the laptop screen brightness can be adjusted, there are some even can reduce the CPU’s operating frequency. When using the Dell Latitude D610 battery, reduce these parameters can be more effective to extend battery life.

 

3. Turn off background programs

 

There are some programs running in the background, although not directly see these programs running, but all consume CPU processing power, of course, consume battery power. The best way is to turn off all unnecessary background processes in order to prolong battery life.

 

4. Reduce the peripheral equipment

 

USB devices (including your mouse), Wi-Fi wireless connections are able to consume hp F4809A battery power, when the equipment is not in use, the best way is to pull down or masked. There is some equipment, such as the iPod will begin to charge when connecting with the computer, be careful not to do it when using the battery-powered laptop.

 

5. Adding more memory

 

More memory means that notebooks do not be so dependent on virtual memory. Virtual memory is built on the hard drive, obviously access memory power consumption is lower, so more read the memory rather than the hard drive, this can reduce power consumption. However, adding memory also can trigger the issue of energy consumption, so the computer often use virtual memory, the most the time to consider adding memory.

 

6. Do not use drive too much

 

Although the hard drive power consumption relatively larger, but in fact the energy consumption of drive is more in the eyes. Even when not in use, CD-ROM is still rotate, consume energy. If you can find a suitable virtual CD-ROM files, through a virtual drive to read, obviously much less power consumption.

 

7. To keep the interface clean

 

We proposed here, every few months to clean up laptop battery metal interface, you can wipe by a cloth soiled with alcohol. This can ensure that the toshiba PA3399U-1BAS battery inside the battery can be more effectively transmitted to the various components to consume.

 

8. Take good care of the battery

 

Take good care of the battery is not to shelved, but regular check it out. Do not let the battery fully charged do nothing for a long, long time. Once charged the battery power, you should at least fully used once every two or three weeks. Of course, do not let your battery completely consume the electricity, it is the way to deal with the old battery memory effect.

 

9. Hibernate instead of standby

 

Although the stand-by allows users to immediately return to work status, but this feature is clearly not better than Hibernate to save power. Hibernate also be able to save your current work status, and almost a complete cessation of electricity consumption for laptops.

 

10. Reduce the operating temperature

Notebook temperature lowered to a more efficient operation. For the notebook used relatively long time, the internal would be a considerable degree of dust accumulation, which can raise laptop internal working temperature. Regular cleaning the inside of notebook is also important for extending apple A1061 battery life.

 

11. Optimize the Power Options

 

In the Windows control panel, there is a power option button, through the button, you can set up and optimize your laptop’s power options. There are some notebooks come with more powerful management software, it would be more convenient for users to use.

 

 

12. Non-multi-tasking

 

When using the battery, it is best to run only one task, rather than dealing with reports, send and receive messages in the background, while playing music, and so on. multi-tasking can only give you a faster notebook TravelMate 290 battery consumption, but also power off when some work haven’t done.

 

13. Less to run large programs

 

To extend battery life, it is best to run a small amount of heavy task large program. Send and receive mail, handling of electronic documents, are clearly smaller power consumption than play the game and DVD discs.

 

14. Buy a new laptop

 

The nootbook accompany us for several years is certainly not willing to throw away, but the harsh fact is: they are already old, already can not keep up the efficiency. The latest notebook, upgrade a lot on energy consumption, if you want longer VGP-BPS2B battery life, it may be picking up new love and throwing old love.

 

15. To prevent memory effect

 

If your laptop has used for a long time, it must be pay attention to prevent “memory effect” generation. Every couple of weeks let your battery fully charge and discharge, of course, if you are using lithium-ion batteries, then there is no need to do this.

 

16. Turn off auto-save

 

Microsoft Word, Excel and other programs have auto-save feature, in most cases this is an intimate setting, but when using the IBM ThinkPad R32 battery, which undoubtedly added to the hard disk work. Turn off this feature requires you to remember from time to time to save the document, prevent the results of hard work go down the drain.

 

17. Reduce the graphics application

 

For example, we can change the graphics resolution, close some aesthetic effects, graphics card is a remarkable place, because of nowadays the graphics card consumption has been almost, and some even higher than the hard drive power consumption.

How to distinguish the lithium battery is fake or genuine

The price of fake lithium batteries generally much cheaper than the genuine, genuine and fake products in general can be seen from the price. However, because of counterfeit lithium Laptop batteries price on the market at times even exactly the same as genuine, so that consumers spend money bought a fake and shoddy products, the best way is to purchase in the regular shopping malls and brand stores, in the electronic digital market is easy to encounter counterfeit lithium-ion batteries. If you can see through the fake batteries certainly before buying would be a good thing, but if you’re not quite so deep “skill”, then we recommend that if you have questions to buy the lithium batteries, you can call the company’s consulting telephone for consultation. Now many large companies have established such a service telephone.

 

If you have already bought a piece of lithium Dell Inspiron E1505 battery but doubts about its authenticity, then the field test the using time is one of the most direct way.

 

1. When the first charge, we can look at the machine shows battery life time is whether close to the instructions marked time, the show time after full charge later should be close to the first time, if the time was too shorter than the standard time, that’s a fake battery.

 

2. If you find that the machine indicates that the hp F3172A battery can use for some time, but the machine automatically shut down due to lack of electricity, and this phenomenon has always existed, then this lithium battery is mostly counterfeit.

 

3. Fake battery using time is lower than the normal use of real battery time, for the first time may be more or less, but with the extension of the using time, fake battery performance will be getting worse and worse, and the using time will be shorter and shorter.

 

4. Fake battery will sometimes show the battery has been used up, but you can still use a longer-term, while the real battery shows that the IBM ThinkPad R32 battery power is quickly exhausted and the machine will automatic shutdown soon.

Laptop battery frequently encountered problems

Q: How to preserve the battery if I don’t use for a long-term?

 

A: Charge or discharge to about 50%, and then placed in dry, temperature of 15 to 25 degrees Celsius to preservation, either the temperature is too high and too low are easy to accelerate cell aging.

 

Q: Is that ok if Laptop battery is not removed when using the power supply?

 

A: It does not matter, the laptop battery has a protection circuit, it will not continue to charge when full.

 

Q: My battery is now run only a very short time, how should I do?

 

A: If you’ve been in the frequent use of the battery, then it belongs to cell aging, which can not be avoided, you can only consider to change a new IBM ThinkPad R32 battery or replace batteries; If you did not use battery a long-term, may also lead to this phenomenon, this time need to completely discharge (until fail to boot up) and then full recharge, repeated several times to activate the battery.

 

Q: Could I use other laptop’s power adapter?

 

A: No, there are three obstacles, the first is the notebook computer manufacturers use various different voltage, such as IBM are 16V, COMPAQ mostly 18.5V, SONY part of the model is 19.5V, they are inconsistent. The second is different laptops need different current, from 2A to 5.4A, a small machine needs small current. The third is the various manufacturers notebook power adapter interfaces are different, it is difficult to general use. Therefore, at present there hasn’t a common power adapter to all notebooks. 

 

Q: How to charge the new machine? How do I maintain the battery?

 

A: Lithium Dell Inspiron E1705 battery need to maintain a certain electromotive force to maintain its internal chemical activity. Therefore, you need to achieve full charge and discharge, in general, the first three times can be a period of about six hours of charge time, charge electric to 100% if there is no time. To avoid point charge, charge timely when less than 10%, and not to be exhausted, that would be bad to the battery; also try not to charge when higher than 60%. Battery don’t use for a long time should applied to about 50% of electricity and preserve at room temperature and dry environment.

 

Q: For the first use of the battery, should I charge 12 hours the former three times?

 

A: This is completely unnecessary, because the current notebook computers have improved power management circuitry and charging management system, when the hp Pavilion dv6000 battery reached saturation, the control circuit will automatically switch to the circuit state, so even if charge a long time is also to no avail.

 

Q: In order to prevent memory effect, we should run out before charge?

 

A: Discharge the battery is not only unnecessary before every charge, but also harmful. Practice has proved that the depth discharge of the battery will shorten the life, it is recommended to charge the battery when about 10%. When the sony VGP-BPS2A battery power is still more than 30%, you’d better not to charge, because the memory effect more or less does indeed exist.
