STEPS YOU SHOULD DO:
STEP 1, DIM THE SCREEN:
Dim the screen of your laptop. This will give you to squeeze out maximum efficiency from the battery of your laptop.
STEP 2, DEFRAG REGULARLY:
How fast and speedy your laptop, the better performance in terms of battery it will give to you. The reason behind this step is that heavy processing needs more battery, that is why we recommend you to defrag regularly in order to have faster hard drives.
STEP 3, CLOSE UNNECESSARY PROGRAMS:
Close unnecessary programs running in the background. (iTunes, Searches, etc.) . All these give load to the CPU and cut down battery life.
STEP 4, UNPLUG AND CUT DOWN EXTERNAL DEVICES:
External devices like mouse, gaming joysticks, consume much battery. And remove and unplug them when they are not in use.
STEP 5, ADD MORE RAM:
This will allow you to process faster with more memory in your laptop rather than relying in virtual memory. The logic behind this step is that virtual memory uses hard drive. That ultimately results in the cut down of your battery life.
STEP 6, TRY TO USE MORE HARD DRIVE RATHER THAN CD/DVD ROM:
The spin of CD/DVD ROM consumes and eats battery of your laptop. So try to use more hard drive rather than CD/DVD as it lose your charm quickly when you’re constantly looking for the nearest power socket to charge your laptop.
STEP 7, CLEAN BATTERY CONTACTS:
Try to clean contacts of your laptop’s battery once in a month with a moist cotton cloth. We recommend you to clean with moist cloth of rubbing alcohol.
STEP 8, HIBERNATE :
Try to hibernate your laptop rather to click on SLEEP option. Hibernating your laptop when it’s not in use saves and maximize the battery life of your laptop.
STEP 9, TAKE CARE OF BATTERY:
Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time.
STEP 10, KEEP OPERATING TEMPERATURE DOWN:
Cool things works better. Similarly, your laptop needs cool environment for giving you better performance and maximizing battery life.
Clean out your air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner.
STEP 11, SET POWER OPTION:
Go Go to ‘Power Options’ in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the ‘max battery’ for maximum effect).
STEP 12, AVOID MULTI TASKING:
Multi task is difficult to handle and cop up by your laptop battery.
STEP 13, E-COLUMNS SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION:
Try to use such product and quality on which you can rely. So I recommend you to use HP (Hewlett-Packard) that don’t compromise with quality.
