A laptop is a faithful assistant in study, work and communication in social applications. But one of the most vulnerable points of any laptop is its battery, on the correct operation of which the life of the laptop depends.
Instructions
Step 1
To start working with a laptop, you should not operate it on the minimum charge that was in the battery at the time of purchase. The battery should be fully charged and only after that, start operation. In order for the battery to last longer, it is necessary to select the correct power management scheme. To do this, you need to select the mode with the maximum power saving and configure the sleep mode.
Step 2
Correct installation of the laptop can also affect battery life. It must stand on a flat and solid surface, away from heating appliances, and the ventilation openings must be free of access. This will help reduce the energy consumption of various motors in the cooling system. The lower the air in the room, the longer the battery charge will last.
Step 3
It also helps to conserve battery power and turn off unnecessary modules and applications that are not in use, such as Wi-Fi. It should be remembered that USB devices make a significant contribution to the load on the computer, the number of which should be reduced to the required minimum.
Step 4
Without a doubt, one of the main elements of a laptop's power consumption is the monitor matrix. To conserve battery power, set your monitor to minimum brightness. Lowering the speaker volume also helps conserve battery power.
Step 5
Reducing the operation of the optical drive will also have the most effective effect on saving power, since the electric motor in it is an active consumer of electricity. In order to relieve the load on the optical drive, make sure that there are no disks that are not used in work.
Step 6
Please be aware that laptop battery life depends on the number of times the battery is charged. When connected to the mains, the battery is charged automatically, therefore, if the laptop is used at the workplace with a permanent connection to the mains, the battery should be removed.
