Every day, notebooks and net books are gaining in popularity, despite a slightly higher price compared to their stationary brethren. This is due to the fact that the basic rate in the world today is on the mobility and autonomy. Sam two years ago bought a laptop. At first all the time he worked on the network, but then felt the need to work offline. And there before me was a question on battery life and the extension of working hours on a single charge. Naturally, I started looking for information online. Break many sites and forums and found many interesting things and unexpected for yourself, than it is now, and I want to share with you.
Tip 1. The battery is used absolutely all enabled devices on the laptop, so when running on battery power should turn off unnecessary hardware in device manager (the main consumers, which can be disabled: adapter wi-fi, Bluetooth and IR, all plug-ins, additional monitors, as well on time, you can disable all USB-controllers, then network cards and embedded modems, etc.)
If you do not understand what can be turned off, and that - no, then you can help a little program Battery Double, which automatically turns off unused equipment and can translate your CPU and hard disk in economy mode.
Tip 2. Put the backlight on the lowest brightness (on some operating systems this is done automatically).
Tip 3. Do not use if possible the DVD and CD, as his motor is eating a lot of energy (if there is an urgent need to use the DVD drive, then perekinte necessary files directly to your hard drive and then remove the CD or DVD and hard drive and work with these files).
Tip 4. If you are going to adjourn at least half an hour, then do not leave your laptop turned on, and send it into sleep mode or hibernation. In standby mode does not submit, because will still continue to work for the CPU , RAM and keyboard.
Following these tips, you can extend the time for working offline on a single charge. The following tips will help you maintain fitness and capacity of batteries for many years.
Tip 5. If you plan to work on a laptop from the network (a month or more) for a long time, it would be better to charge the battery up to 50% and put it in a cool place 10-15 degrees. In this mode the battery loses only 2% of its capacity per year.
Tip 6. Battery life is measured by the number of full charge-discharge cycles, so charge up to 100%, then easing to 50% and then charging up to 100% will be considered half cycle. But according to the manufacturers, should produce a full cycle of 100% -0% -100% at least once every two months for better safety and stability of the battery.
Tip 7. Take the time to read the user manual for your mobile device - is there writing useful information.
