Let Notebook Computer Batteries For Much Longer

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 01, 2009 -
1. Read carefully before using the laptop battery maintenance part of the manual; 2. The first charge, you should continuously charge the battery to 12 hours, and the loop to fully charge and discharge completely 3 times to wake up a new battery; 3. If the prolonged use of an external power supply, preferably remove the battery. http://www.bestlaptopbattery.co.uk/hp/hstnn-db02.htm  Many of my friends no attention to this issue, remove the battery without external power supply not only affect the battery life, but also allow notebook computers to become even heavier burden on the heat to shorten the life of notebook computers; 4. Periodic charge and discharge. Even without the memory effect of lithium-ion battery there is a certain inertia effect for a long time not to use lithium-ion loss of activity would need to re-activation. Therefore, if a long time (three weeks or longer) without using a computer or found that the battery charge and discharge time shorter, should be fully discharged and then recharge the battery, generally a month for at least a full charge and discharge 5. Best to switch off the notebook when charging, the battery can be fully charged, do not unplug the power in the charge half-way. Charging off recharge shorter than the boot more than 30% of the charging time, but also to extend battery life. The best finish for 30 minutes in the charge before use. 6. To prevent the exposure to prevent damp to prevent the erosion of chemical liquids, avoid contact with metal objects touch the battery short-circuit, etc. happen. Lithium battery charging and discharging of the number of generally not more than 800 times, on one charge, it will shorten a life. Suggest that you try to use an external power supply, many times if you use half-way Plug Power, and the laptop does not pull out the built-in battery will give the battery life shortened by large, because each access to external power supply is equivalent to charge the battery once.
Optimization of power management options to set for notebook computer users, we recommend the use of WindowsXP operating system, of course, if the laptop's configuration is too low or even WindowsXP can not meet the minimum configuration requirements, it is another matter. There are many reasons, the main point is that the notebook power management is the most advanced of all computer operating systems, if combined with Centrino platform, the better. 1.6GHz of the Pentium-M load is small below only work in the 600MHz frequency.  http://www.bestlaptopbattery.co.uk/hp/r3000.htm
If your laptop supports Intel SpeedStep, AMD PowerNow  or Transmeta's LongRun technology, we must remember that the latest drivers installed, to play its biggest utility, WindowsXP is automatic, you can follow their own requirements in terms of performance and power to find a balance. Users can do the most optimized power management settings, 1. Do not use a screen saver. 2. The power to use the program, select "Portable / Laptop", the following of the time as you need a reasonable setting, everyone's circumstances vary, inconvenience to make mandatory. General to shut down the hard drive time setting time was slightly longer than the stand-point, so as not to affect the hard drive life. 3. Enter "Power Options" attribute in the "Advanced" reasonable use "power button", give you great convenience, can also enhance the rational use of battery life. For example: the phrase "together on a portable computer" is set to "standby", which left the laptop for a while, the only power but also the confidentiality of private information helps a lot, but not need to wait to restart the time. For the first-line maker of notebook computers (such as IBM, SONY, HP, Toshiba, etc.), often provide some better power management software, and has some special features: IBM's power management program can reduce the LCD screen refresh rate; TOSHIBA Toshiba's power management program in the absence of sufficient direct power off your device in any designated 1; SONY dedicated power management program can set the cooling fan speed, you can also turn off non-use of the IEEE1394 interface and MEMORY STICK slot, in order to achieve energy saving of head to.
