Line 654: − + − ===How to increase battery life in your computer?===+ − − # Turn off Wi-Fi and BlueTooth - Most laptops have shortcut keys to instantly disable wireless networking. − # Don't play computer games, music or DVD movies - Multimedia activities drain laptop batteries. − # Adjust your screen brightness - Dimming your display saves battery power. − # Decrease or mute the Laptop Speaker Volume. − # Turn off Auto-save features in Office and other applications. − # If your PC has a built-in wireless card, turn it off or disable it when not in use. − # Programs that are run from a CD or DVD can be copied to and run from the hard drive, which typically consumes less power than an optical drive. − # If you do not use your laptop for extended periods of time (a week or more), remove the battery pack from the laptop. − # Do not expose the battery to high heat or freezing temperatures. Do not leave your battery in your car in the summer. Hot batteries discharge very quickly, and cold ones can't create as much power. − # Make sure to plug your laptop charger adapter into a UPS and not directly into a power outlet or surge protector. − # If you have a nickel-metal hydride battery, completely drain and recharge the battery once a month to maximize its capacity to hold a charge. − # Fully charge new battery packs before use. New pack needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity.Leaving a battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the battery. −
