Compared with ordinary PC, laptop users the convenience of a soft spot for many. However, as with all mobile devices, laptops are facing a severe energy supply - is the battery life. Can obviously feel the major notebook components have obvious progress, the development in battery technology have been slow to break, this problem makes the cell function is increasingly becoming a bottleneck restricting notebook.

Although there is no way to immediately make a revolutionary change laptop battery, but we can improve by changing the habits of practical notebook, so that time to prolong battery life. Below 10 V. This is the notebook I use to sum up so many years of practical ways to extend battery life. Hope to help

1, Regular Defragmentation.

Defragging the hard drive allows you to work faster and make the hard disk defragmentation on a regular basis to maintain effective state, of course, when the use of external power to order the best. The corresponding speed disk working time is short, it will certainly reduce the power consumption, extend notebook battery life.

2, Lower screen brightness

Most of the computer screen brightness can be adjusted, some may even reduce the CPU's operating frequency. When using the battery to reduce these parameters can be more effective to extend battery life.

3, Turn off background programs

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

4, Reduction of peripheral

USB devices (including your mouse), Wi-Fi wireless connections to the energy consumption of the battery, when the equipment is not in use, the best pull down or masked. Some equipment, such as iPod with the computer will start charging when connected, which use battery-powered notebook, he may be careful not to do it.

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 above, clearly access memory, lower power consumption, so more memory rather than hard to read, to reduce power consumption. However, the increase in energy consumption of memory also can cause problems, so that the computer often called virtual memory, friends, consider adding most of the memory.

6, Less use the CD-ROM

Although the larger hard drive power consumption, energy consumption, but actually drive more eyes. Even when not in use, still drives the same rotation, the energy consumption. If you can find a suitable virtual CD file, through a virtual drive to read, obviously much less power consumption.

7, Keeping the battery feet clean

We proposed here, every few months to clean up the battery's metal contacts feet, you can use a cloth dipped in alcohol swipe. This ensures that the 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 you the battery is not shelved, but regular exercise and check it out. Do not let the battery with a "do nothing" and to be a long, long time. Once is charged, you should at least every two or three weeks of full time use. Of course, do not let your lithium battery completely consume the electricity, it is to deal with the old battery memory effect approaches.

9, Sleep instead of standby

Although the standby allows users to immediately return to work status, but this function is clearly better than sleep to save power. Sleep under the same able to save your current job status, and almost able to completely stop the consumption of electricity for laptops.

10, Lower operating temperature

Notebook temperature lowered, to more efficient operation. Notebook using a long time, will accumulate a considerable degree of internal dust, which can allow the working temperature inside a notebook. Regular internal cleaning notebook for extended battery life is also important.

11, Optimization of power options

In the Windows control panel, there is a power option button, the button can be set through to optimize your notebook's power options. Some more powerful notebook comes with power management software, it more user-friendly to use.

12, Non-multitasking

Battery when it's best to carry out a task, instead of changing processing reports, send and receive mail in the background side, while playing the music and so on ... ... multi-tasking, only to consume your battery faster, and may no work done which had no electricity.

13 Less to run large programs

Extend battery life, the best small amount of heavy run large programs mission. Send and receive mail, handle electronic documents, clearly we must more than play games, play DVD disc little more power.

14, Turn off auto-save

Microsoft Word, Excel and other programs have auto-save function, in most cases this is a intimate setting, but the notebook battery, which adds to the hard work. Turn off this feature, you need to remember always save the document, the province of the results of the last hard work down the drain.

15, Lower graphics applications

For example, we can change the graphics resolution, close some open to beauty and special effects, graphics card is a remarkable place, because the graphics card and hard drive power consumption has been almost, and some even higher.
