Laptop Battery Maintenance method

The quality and endurance of notebook batteries is a special concern when you buy notebooks, in fact, how to use a good notebook battery battery, how to prolong its use of time and the use of life and other problems, is undoubtedly plagued the vast number of notebook computer users in the heart of a difficult problem, the use of laptop battery methods and techniques have a variety of This requires us to learn more and apply in peacetime use. The following author collected a number of laptop battery maintenance methods, hope for everyone useful.

Energy-saving settings

Desktop uses alternating current, most people do not pay attention to the energy-saving function of the computer, but for laptops that need to be powered by batteries, the use of energy-saving functions should be taken seriously. How computer hardware can be imagined to be more energy efficient is not a problem that users need to solve. What the user can do is to use the Energy saving option effectively on the computer setup. The

Energy-saving setting has two requirements for the user to adjust: First, there is a set of energy-saving methods in the computer's BIOS setup program; Most importantly, there are many energy-saving settings and operations in the operating system. In the actual implementation of the microcomputer system, the energy saving setting in the Windows system should take precedence over the setting in the CMOS.

1. Energy-saving settings in the BIOS

Most of the CMOS settings have a "power savings", which allows you to select multiple options such as "Maximum Battery Life" and "Maximum performance". "Maximum Battery Life" is the default energy-saving mode setting. There are several states of the laptop's energy-saving mode, such as idle mode idle mode, Standby mode standby (wait), Suspend mode suspend (Hibernate) modes. These settings on the laptop can adjust the power consumption, the main if the computer into the energy-saving state, the timely closure of some of the system equipment does not need to use. If in the waiting state, turn off the monitor and hard disk, after entering hibernation, in addition to turn off the monitor and hard drive, can also save the contents of memory to the hard disk, the entire computer system is basically maintained shutdown state, once activated or restarted the computer, the desktop will be accurately restored to the state before hibernation In the CMOS energy-saving settings, the main if set by idle mode into Standby mode Standby timeout time, set by Standby mode into the Suspend mode suspend timeout. The majority of laptops use Phoenix BIOS. Different BIOS energy saving settings may be different and you should read the ScreenTip carefully.

2. Energy saving settings in Windows

for the average user, theEnergy-saving management in Windows systems may be more straightforward and simpler to operate. In the Windows Help file, under the Manage hardware and software entry, there are two things that are related to energy saving for laptops: Managing power consumption and using portable computer to manage powering on portable computers. You should read these before you make Windows Energy saving settings.

in Windows Control Panel, click Power Management to open the Power Management Properties dialog box. In the Power Management Properties dialog box, you should set the power scheme to portable/laptop and reasonably schedule options such as System wait, turn off monitor, turn off hard disk, and so on. Different computers can manipulate the options there are some differences, the new factory computer and the latest software will have more operational options, the detailed settings should be based on the computer itself and Windows Help files.

In addition, if you have a built-in infrared port for your notebook computer, you can also extend the use of your laptop battery.

Fast into hibernation

to save battery energy, we can set up a power management scheme to allow the system to go into hibernation after a period of time, but this may take a few minutes longer or shorter, Is there a way to get your laptop system to sleep? An easy way to get the laptop system into hibernation quickly is to close the display directly. Press the display screen is just a lift, you can make the notebook computer hurriedly into hibernation, effectively save battery energy. When you need to use the time again, as long as the display, the system will automatically return to the state before the operation.
