Make your laptop battery last longer
 
Here are a couple quick tips to help your laptop last a little bit longer so you’ll have the power needed to do that last little bit of work done before your battery dies on you.

1.      Turn your brightness down on your screen. The brighter the screen the more power it’s using.
2.      Turn off the extra background programs off when you aren’t using them. Programs like Yahoo messenger, MSN, various weather programs … etc. All of these programs require your processor and ram to do more, hence more power consumption.
3.      Don’t watch DVD’s or play games while you are away from a power outlet as DVD’s and games (especially the newer high-end games) use a lot of power.
4.      Do not use standby, always put your laptop on hibernation; it saves your progress and shuts off your computer. Standby still uses power while it is sitting there.
