Here are some tips that you can follow to increase the battery life of your laptop.
Did you know that you can conserve your laptop’s battery life by lowering the screen display’s brightness? Lowering it by just one level will save about ten minutes of battery life.
WiFi connections are actually a power guzzler. When you’re not using it, switch it off using the laptop’s external switch. Disable devices like Bluetooth and the infrared transceiver when they’re not in use.
Reducing the frequency where your hard drive spins is another way for you to save on power. Defragment your hard drive regularly.
Condition your laptop’s battery. When you first get your laptop, charge the battery up to 100% then discharge it totally. Charge it up again to 100%. This exercise will help the battery remember how much electricity it can hold.
