How to use the notebook batteries as far as possible the extension of the time
1. Reduce screen brightness.
Brightness reduction can effectively extend battery hours of ues.
2. Open SpeedStep and PowerPlay power-saving function.
Now the notebook processors and graphics chips have lower operating frequency and voltage to extend the usage time of the function, open the option can be greatly extended battery life.
3. The notebook's hard drive, it is one of the more power-hungry components, so long as the state in reading and writing will power, the program on the hard drive more visits, the hard disk will be more power, so do not always on the hard disk running large-scale software, do not use the battery in a separate case for disk defragmentation. The CD drive is also very power consumptive, when it's full-speed work hard under the optical drive more costs than electricity, but also have a greater heat, so when we do not use CD in a long time, you'd better taken out the CD from the CD drive.
For frequently used discs, the best way is to use the virtual drive software to the virtual hard disk, this is the most energy efficient way. You can try to install NERO DriveSpeed, PowerBooster or other software to reduce the optical drive, hard drive speed, etc., it also can reduce the notebook's power consumption.
4. External devices.
Like a pcmcia card, printer and so on, as long as connected with a notebook, even if the laptop does not work will consume power, so when we do not need to use these peripherals ,we have to take them down from the notebook best . If you often do not use the port facilities such as modem, com port, infrared, wireless LAN, etc., preferably in the BIOS to disable it in.
5. Software.
When using the battery,recommended not to use some features of softwareare which are complete, but highly demanding on the system . Customers often mention that playing games, or watching online movies, 6-cell battery can only use about 1 hour , this is a normal phenomenon, also is the performance of high expectation for the battery.
6. Cooling.
On surface ,Notebook cooling has no connection with the power of laptops, in fact, a very close relationship between them. As smalle, Notebook need its own cooling system to regulate the heat. When the temperature reaches a certain temperature the fan program starte, it will naturally increase the notebook's power, so ,as long as we can help notebook cooling to control the temperature of a good notebook, you can reduce the start time of the fan, which can extend the life of notebook battery .
7. Use of standby, sleep and other functions.
When you are in long time not use notebook, to allow notebook standby or hibernation, It can save the computer power and extend the life of another. WINDOWS of the power management in the process setting, we generally can be set to "Portable / Laptop." We can also recommend the screen saver display properties set directly to "black" and the wait time is set to 5 minutes, so when we do not operate the notebook for some time, it will direct a black screen state, it is more save power than the running screen |
