How many of you out there know about proper laptop battery care? There are so many urban legends and myths regarding batteries that it is hard to know what is real and what is not.
Make Use Of had an article Tricks To Increase Laptop’s Battery Life
which mentioned a number of useful tips. This time we introduce to a rather different app called BatteryCare which can help you understand the ways of battery guruness….is that a word? Probably not but hey it sounds good!
Laptops original batteries are really expensive to buy a new one. If you don't take care of your laptop batteries after just finishing the warranty date they are going to be useless.
Laptops are getting better, faster, lighter day by day. Only one thing still remains "frozen": the battery. Progress in developing a revolutionary battery, lighter, with increased capacity, low cost, RoHS compliant and compatible with most laptops around the world is painstakingly slow. Other features found in laptops and notebooks can help users increase their battery's life, but sooner or later, the battery is going to run dry.
- One of the tricks is to use the energy saving mode.
- Decrease the resolution of the notebook to the limit, that it is comfotable to read text from it.
- When the notebook is not in use, let the notebook be on stand-by mode.
- Turn off the peripherals, which you are currently not using like the digital camera, etc. These peripherals, although not in use, pull energy from the notebook battery.
- Try to use the notebook in cool temperature. When the temperature is hot, the battery loses its charge early.
- When the notebook is not in use, remove the battery from the notebook. This increases the life of the batteries.
If possible, use virtual drives instead of real ones as the optical drives are bigger power consumers than the hard drives.
Do not leave a charged battery unused for a very long time. Once charged, a battery should slowly be used but not completely dried up as that would deteriorate it. Use the hibernate function as that would save the state of your system and then shut down the entire laptop, instead of stand-by which only lowers power consumption. Because laptops are more efficient when they are cooler try and keep the temperature down by cleaning air venting holes and coolers.
If your operating system supports it (and most do), optimize the power usage through a control panel like "Power Options" in Windows. Multitasking capabilities are nice but they are draining the battery quickly, so set your mind on the most important task and postpone everything else.
