A six fold path to enhance the battery life of the Laptop
Posted on August 25, 2008
Battery life is a significant aspect of your laptop computer, perhaps the most important if your premises warrant intensive travelling. Until this day from the day your laptop started accompanying you, you might have experienced myriad power related laptop shut downs. The irony here is that you cannot blame your laptop computer a bit, for this either, for almost all the models of different brands, more or less have identical battery lives. Therefore, following a six-fold path that would considerably reduce your power expenditure sounds reasonable in the circumstances.
The Six-Fold Path
- Keep your laptop display at a brightness level that is low, for brighter the display poorer is the battery life.
- Keep your laptop’s hard drive defragmented to allow your laptop’s hard drive to use them more efficiently by reorganising all the stored files.
- Running one program at a time considerably relieves your laptop battery of extra pressure.
- Maintain your laptop battery unexposed to excess sunlight as well as extreme temperatures.
- Engage hibernate mode instead of stand-by mode because stand-by mode uses some power, where hibernate mode smartly switches off the power after saving your system settings.
- Instead of running the disc drive of your laptop, save the relevant data to the hard drive of your laptop to run it from there.
Taken these steps, your laptop’s battery life is more likely to last longer and you know well, its significance. That, all the technological niceties of your laptop would be reduced to mere dissipation if its battery life proves nominal.

With some patience I'm afraid. It took about four attempts, filming 10 minutes at a time. I did? not find a way to make it happen, as far as I can tell it happens randomly.
