Although there is no way to immediately let the laptop battery get a revolutionary change, But we can improve by changing the habits of practical notebook, so that let the battery life get extended. The following seventeen ways, is prepared for the users to prolong the Laptop Battery life.
1. Regular defragmentation
Defragment the hard disk can make your hard disk work faster, Regular defragmentation allows your hard disk to maintain efficient state, it is best the collate the hard disk when using the external power supply, Disk fast response and working time is short, it will certainly reduce power consumption to extend laptop battery life time.

2. Reduce the screen brightness
Most of the computer's screen brightness can be adjusted, and some can even reduce the CPU operating frequency. When using the laptop battery, to reduce these parameters can be more effective to extend the battery usage time.
3. Close background programs
Some programmes running in the background, although it can no bet directly see n, but these programs are still running, but they are also consume the CPU processing capacity, of course consume the battery power. The best way is to turn off all unnecessary background programs in order to extend battery life.
4. Reduce the peripheral equipment
USB devices (including your mouse), Wi-Fi wireless connections are able to consume the energy of the battery, when the equipment is not in use, it is best to pull down or masked. There are also some equipments, such as the iPod, when it connected with the computer it will begin to charge, when using battery-powered laptop, be careful not to connect them.
5. Add more memory
More memory means that the laptop do not be so dependent on virtual memory. Virtual memory is built on the hard disk, obviously access memory power consumption is lower, so more reading memory rather than hard disk can reduce power consumption. However, the increase in memory also can lead to problems of energy consumption, so the users need often called virtual memory should consider adding more memory. ( dell inspiron 9400 battery )
6. Less use the CD-ROM
Although the hard drive power consumption is relatively large, but in fact the CD-ROM drive energy consumption is even more serious. Even when not in use, the CD-ROM is still the same rotation, energy consumption. If you can find the virtual CD-ROM file to read through the virtual drive, obviously power consumption much less.
7. Keep the battery antennae clean
Proposed here, every few months to clean up the battery metal antennae, it can be moistened with alcohol cloth to wipe. This ensures that the power inside the battery can more effectively transmitted to the various components to consume.
8. Take good care of the battery
Take good care of the battery is not you did not use the battery at all, but often practise it, do not store it with full power for long time, when full charged the battery, you’d better use it every three weeks, of course you need not use the power up, most of the laptop battery are lithium battery, it has little memory effect.

9. Hibernate instead of standby
Even though standby can allow users to immediately return to a working state, but this feature is obviously not as good as Sleep better able to save power. Sleep same can be saved under your current job status, and almost completely so that the laptop to stop the consumption of electricity. (nikon en-el18 battery)
10. Reduce the operating temperature
Notebook temperature lower, can have more efficient running. A long time used notebook, the internal will have accumulated a considerable degree of dust, these can make the notebook internal temperature Increased. Regular cleaning inside the notebook, is also very important for extending battery life.
11. Optimize the power options
There is a power button for the option in the Windows control panel, this button can be set to optimize your notebook power options. Some laptops even comes with a more powerful power management software, it is more convenient use of the user.
12. Non-multi-tasking (nikon en-el19 battery)
It is best to operate only one task when use the battery, but not send and receive mail in the background and play music when processing the report, Multi-tasking, only let your battery drain faster, it may out of power when you did not finish a job. ( canon eos-300d battery )
13. Less to run a large program
Extend battery life, it is best little run heavy program assignments. Send and receive mail, precess electronic documents apparently use little power comparing with play games and play DVD films.
14. Change a new laptop (nikon en-el15 battery)
You do not will through away the old battery that accompany you for several years, but the fact is that the laptop is too old, the efficiency have been behind, the latest laptop have a lot of upgrading at the energy consumption side, to get longer standby time, you must change a new laptop.
15. Prevent the memory effect
If your laptop is too old, you must pay attention to the memory effect, full charge and discharge the laptop battery every two or three weeks, but if your laptop battery is lithium battery, it will not have this problem.
16. Close automatically saved
Microsoft Word, Excel and other programs have auto-saved functionality, in most cases this, is an intimate setting, but in a laptop that use the battery, it adds to the work of the hard disk. Turn off this feature, you need to remember from time to time to save the document, to avoid losing your document.
17. Reduce the graphics application
For example, we can change the graphics resolution, close the effects that open for aesthetic, Graphics card is a noteworthy, because the graphics card now has the hard drive power consumption, and some even higher. ( canon nb-4l battery )
