Imagine you're sitting at the airport and you have time to connect and check mail on this cool new laptop. Just as you arrive in your mailbox, the light starts to flash saying that I'm running out of battery and do not know, the cable will not reach the exit. There are some steps you can take. The following tips can help you fifteen to prolong battery life.

1. Defragment your hard drive so that he regularly works as effectively as possible. Only perform thisactivity once inserted, is not battery powered. Mac OSX is better equipped to handle fragmentation so that Apple users may not be necessary for that suggestion.

2. Sun monitor. Many laptops have this option available and many, including the cooling of the processor and development that allows you to squeeze every last bit of battery power.

3. Reduce the number of programs that are active in the background. This could be the implementation of programs like iTunes, Desktop Search, and so on. They all contribute to the use of your CPUlowering the battery life quickly. Close all that you do not need when running on battery.

4. Limit the use of external devices. This includes all USB devices. The mouse and Wi-Fi uses a lot of battery juice. Simply close or turn it off. And do not charge your MP3 or iPod during use solely on battery power.

5. Increase the RAM. This will allow the laptop to process more information with memory in the laptop, instead of using virtual memory. When usingvirtual memory, causing the hard disk usage thereby reducing the effectiveness of power. This is particularly true for cases where you need to run programs that require considerable use of virtual memory, since the more RAM you add, the more energy you use.

6. CD and DVD consume more energy than hard drives do, then you must run a hard drive if possible. Have a CD / DVD in the drive, you can use the power of the battery from the laptop. While the hard drive spin, use the battery, even if the device is notused. Instead of using optical programs, you must use virtual training programs as Alcohol 120% as possible.

7. Keep the battery contacts free of dust and debris. Clean the battery contacts, metal, often with a clean cloth with a little alcohol on it and you maintain the efficiency of power transfer.

8. The performance of the battery. Do not let the battery recharged idle for a period of time. You must use the battery at least once every twothree weeks, once it is loaded. And do not let a Li-On battery completely discharge. Only the old batteries with memory effects should be allowed to discharge.

9. Use Hibernate instead of waiting, it saves much more energy. Not only your laptop shut down in hibernation mode, it will just continue where you left off.

10. Low temperature operation - Laptops run much better when the temperature is low. Go to LapTopMag.com for some means of cleaningcooling vents and other suggestions.

11. To identify and obtain the maximum power options, you should find the "Power Options" in your control panel, once you arrive, you can optimize energy use by selecting the "Max Battery" option.

12. Not working on several programs. Sticking to a task while using the battery. Focusing on one task at a time, like a leaf finish before checking your e-mail or listen to music. The batteries are drainedbefore everything is complete without it!

13. Try asking at least from the PC. The game or DVD playback consumes a lot more passive activities such as electronic mail and word processing. If you have one battery, priorities carefully.

14. Replace your old appliance with a new model that is more environmentally friendly energy. Some manufacturers also offer batteries that last all day. Buying a laptop newer, more efficient instead of an older one is a quick solution.

15. Preventionmemory effect. If you are using a very old laptop, avoid the "memory effect" Keep the battery healthy by fully charge and then fully discharged at least once every two or three weeks. Do not worry about this if you have Li-ion batteries, which have many phones because they do not have the "memory effect".

Tip # 1: Close Enhanced automatic backup feature off. The AutoRecover feature in MS-Word and Excel is a useful tool, but add to the workload of the hard disk ascontinue to save files regularly active. However, as the battery begins to fail, turn it to prevent permanent loss.

Limit Tip 2: Enhanced graphics use. Changing the screen resolution and turning off fancy graphic drivers you will do. According to an update from Andrew, using a graphics or video can consume more energy or more as a hard disk can.

As mentioned in the Bonus Tip # 1, you must be careful at all times to disable the automatic backup. In addition, Tip# 8 can show you how to change where you download the batteries. Thank you to all those who have stressed! One extra second bonus points can be added to the first indication of the rotation of disk drives under Mac OSX. Thank you to everyone who brought this to light!
