Top 15 ways to extend your laptop's battery life

Filed in archive Hardware by Elwyn Jenkins on July 23, 2007

Laptops are a great tool to enable officing from anywhere, that is, until your laptop battery becomes a pain needing more drinks of juice than there are outlets on your journey.

With a little bit of good management, however, you can extend the battery life of your laptop, so that you can enjoy the mobility of your laptop for a greater length of time.

"Top 15 Ways to Extend Your Laptop's Battery Life" is a comprehensive article on this matter, giving you more hints and tips about improving the life of your laptop's battery than any other single reference.

There are also two bonus tips added to the 15 ways to extend the battery life of your laptop; the first of these bonus tips is quite simple - turn off autosave in MS-Word. Autosave works your hard drive harder than most any single program and by turning this off you also save on expended energy from your laptop's battery.

I tested this camera for a client. I didn’t have the light running for more than 15 minutes. The battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging. The LCD, however, had a few dead pixels - never saw this before. Tried returning for exchange and had to put up quite a fight. Anyone else seen this? laptop battery
Verizon is about the only place you can get the authentic RIM product and matching door. Most other sites are out of stock and even when they are in stock they have the black battery door which looks like crap. new battery

The more you are doing at the same time with your PC, the more memory and CPU usage increases. Both of which directly use up battery. Close any applications you aren’t using, even the small ones.
