Maintaining Laptop Battery Life

You guys have any tips on how to maintain and maximize a laptops battery life?

 

if im out and dont have a charger and im low on battery, i usually turn the backlight all the way down

 

Download A Software Named "Battery Life Extender" It Will Charge Your Battery Upto 80% Then Stop Charging It (As If The Battery Was Out), This Saves The Battery From The Usual All-The-Time Charging. The Software Uses The Battery Like A Regular Computer Backup, The Laptop Runs On AC Alone & Uses DC (Battery) In The Case Of A Blackout Or Drop In Voltage. It Came With My Samsung Laptop As "Samsung Battery Life Extender"

 

If you're using your laptop on a desk, take out the battery. Only use the battery if you need to be mobile. Having your laptop on ac power with the battery in lowers your battery's lifespan.

 

I always have my backlight down all the way lol. The screen is still pretty bright when its all the way down.

 

i know but sometimes when your outside during the day is really hard to see, but ill give that program ^^^ a try

 

pretty much what trigga said. if u have it plugged in, take out the battery. charge the battery til its 100 percent and then u have it if u got a blackout or something. but if its plugged in, no need to have the battery in.

 

Do not use your cd-rom drive.

Alrighty, What Will Happen If U Get A Power Outage Or Spike In Voltage... Also If A Battery Is Parked Up Too Long The Cells Will Stop Working As They Should And Eventually The Battery Will Be Useless, It Needs To Be Used That's Why I Recommended "BATTERY LIFE EXTENDER" Software Above...

 

The best way to keep a battery healthy is to charge it to about 80% and use it. If you need to plug in your laptop, charge it to 80%, then take the battery out and let the laptop run off AC power.

The worst thing you can do is leave it plugged in 24/7. That happened to me with my old laptop and now it can't hold a charge.
