Laptop battery methods and techniques

Under normal circumstances, in the case of using external power, can not the battery, that would affect battery life, but too regularly for some time to recharge a battery power.
        How to make good use of laptop battery battery?
        How to extend their use of time and the life of the other issues?
        + Is undoubtedly troubled by the majority of laptop users in mind a problem, the use of laptop battery there are a variety of methods and techniques, which we usually need to use more learning and application.
      (A) to sleep fast
        Temporarily using a laptop computer, to save ACER EXTENSA 366D Laptop AC Adapter battery power, we can set the power management options, allowing the system to sleep after a period of time, but shorter or longer will have to wait a few minutes.
        Is there a way to make notebook computer system immediately enter the sleep state?
        Laptop goes to sleep, a quick and easy way ----- directly off the display. Press display just little things, you can immediately make the laptop sleep, effectively conserve battery power. When you need to re-use, simply open the display, the system will automatically return to the state before the operation.
      (B) screen-saving mode
        TFT screen is the largest notebook computer power components, in order to reduce its use of the Battery SONY DCR-TRV530 when the power consumption ----- generally are based on the reduce screen brightness, and even off-screen method. In some laptops the power management settings you can customize the brightness of the screen, most laptops can be specific shortcut keys adjust the screen brightness, generally 6 to 8 level brightness adjustment.
      (C) energy-saving settings
        For battery-powered notebook computers, the use of energy-saving features should be taken seriously. How to design more energy-efficient computer hardware, this is not the user to solve the problem. The user can do is set the computer on the effective use of energy-saving options. Energy-saving setting, there are two require the user to adjust: First, the computer's BIOS setup program on the energy saving mode setting; the most important is in the operating system has many energy-saving settings and operation. System in the actual implementation, Windows systems should give priority to energy-saving settings in the CMOS settings.
1. BIOS settings in the Energy
         In the CMOS settings and large have a "Power Savings", which you can select "Maximum Camcorder Battery SONY NP-F970 Life" and "Maximum Performance" and other options. "Maximum Battery Life" is the default power saving mode setting. Laptop power saving mode in several states, such as Idle Mode Idle Mode, Standby Mode standby (wait) mode, Suspend Mode suspension (sleep) mode. These settings on the laptop, able to regulate power consumption, mainly in the computer power state, the timely closure of some facilities without the use of the system. If the wait state, turn off the monitor and hard drive; to sleep, in addition to turning off the display and hard drive, but also the contents of memory can be saved to the hard disk, the basic maintenance of the entire computer system off, once activated, or restart the computer, the desktop return to the exact state before sleep. Energy-saving settings in the CMOS is mainly set by the Idle Mode Standby Mode to enter the Standby Timeout time set by the Standby Mode Suspend Mode to enter the Suspend Timeout time. Phoenix BIOS laptops use the majority. Different BIOS settings may be somewhat different energy, should carefully read the screen prompts.
2. Windows in energy-saving settings
         For general users, in the Windows system may operate better understanding of energy management simpler. Windows help file, in the "management of hardware and software" entries, there are two energy-saving notebook computers with the content: "Managing energy consumption" and "use of portable machine" in the "management of portable computer power."
         In the Windows "Control Panel" → → "Power Management → →" Power Management Properties "→ → will" power scheme "set to" Portable / Laptop "and reasonable arrangements" system waiting for "," off monitor device, "" Turn off hard disks "and other options. different computers can manipulate the options there will be some differences, the new factory and the latest computer software will be more operational options, a detailed set of functions should be based on the computer itself and Windows Help files to be.
         In addition, if your laptop built-in infrared port, when not to ban it, you can extend laptop battery life.
       (D) alarm settings
         Set the Panasonic Lumix Dmc-fz3 Battery alarm in time to give prompt the user to save the information. Is: "Control Panel → →" Power "→ →" Alarm "→ →" Low battery alarm "column for the Windows 98 default 10%," a serious shortage of battery alarm "column for the Windows 98 default 3%, according to the need for appropriate changes. click both [alarm response] button, the "Sound Alarm" and "message" is selected, the "power level" is optional, so that when the battery is used when the alarm limit, a warning window will pop up and the buzzer alarm will sound to prompt the user to save information in a timely manner and finally click [OK] button to exit the power management settings.
       (E) on energy-saving function
         Energy-saving feature is a CPU usage of the technology, which allows the performance of laptop computers will play its battery to achieve the best balance between. Most new models of notebook computers in the BIOS, the CPU energy-saving technologies are given support is enabled by default, if not open as long as the BIOS will support the option to open it OK.
Use third-party software to monitor Camcorder Battery SONY NP-F970 status ↓ ↓
         In addition to Windows built-in power management features, there are a lot of utility to monitor battery status. For example, PowerCenter is a power monitoring tool, available for free download. Only 800KB, is a service designed for notebook software. PowerCenter not only shows the percentage of battery capacity, but also to show the actual hours and minutes the time available.
There are three kinds of PowerCenter display:
(1) FullDisplay: In the open window displays detailed information, including the use of battery or AC power, the percentage of Sony Cyber-Shot Dsc-t33 Battery remaining and available time.
(2) CompactDisplay: in use is always displayed at the top of the window.
(3) MinimizeDisplay: PowerCenter reduced to make the Windows taskbar, and the information is relatively simple.
        PowerCenter is also attached to a control center, can make up to six kinds of warning. When the battery? Down to a certain extent, timely warning to the user, save the file being processed. In order not to waste electricity and CPU resources, PowerCenter automatically detect the battery status changes.
       (G) intentionally run out of battery
         Regularly run out of battery, in order to ensure a full charge. If you need to completely run out of battery power, which would be: in the Power Management → → Battery Drain the power of this particular model, all of its three Running on Batteries options are set to Never, this laptop is the computer will continue to run . Select the mode, then enter the Alarms tab, cancel the Low Battery and Critical Battery Warning check box check mark (so that when battery power is low, the machine will not enter the suspended state). Next, let the computer run the CPU-time tasks, such as the computer automatically run some of the computational complexity of the 3D demo program, which will soon run out of  HP Compaq Business Notebook 6715b Battery power remaining, of course, these disposal Do not forget to unplug the AC the plug.
       (H) How to calibrate battery
         To enable the battery to achieve the best performance, certain models of notebook computer provides a battery calibration feature, the first time using the battery, this feature can be used to calibrate the battery. Power calibration procedure will be exhausted, and then re-charged, which would enable the correct Windows Sony DCR-DVD406 Charger battery meter to monitor battery status.
         Calibrate the battery as follows:
         (1) into the power adapter.
         (2) Restart the computer, start screen appears, press F2 to enter BIOS setup.
         (3) in the BIOS, select the Exit item, and select BatteryAuto-Learning option.
         (4) Press Enter, select BatteryAuto-Learning option (it will appear in front of a "√").
         (5) Select the Exit project SaveandExit option to save your settings and exit the BIOS Setup.
         (6) The system will reboot and start Toshiba Portege m300 Battery calibration.
