Solutions For Extending the Battery Life of Your Laptop

1. Adjust the brightness setting on your laptop screen

2. Turn off the backlighting on the keyboard

You should have a hotkey or other control on your laptop that will allow you to adjust the intensity of the backlighting. This allows you to turn down the intensity of the screen if handled properly.

3. Configure the power usage settings on your laptop

Your laptop’s operating system should come with a menu or setup that lets you adjust the power usage settings. This includes help for controlling when the laptop will go into sleep mode or when the screen will be disabled. These modes will allow the laptop to conserve energy. The screen will not be active.

The fan and other features in your laptop will also stop working while in sleep mode. You can press a button on the laptop to get the computer out of sleep mode. The battery usage at this point will be dramatically reduced.

Be sure the timing is planned accordingly. You can get your laptop to work at sleep mode after a few minutes of inactivity, but this should be timed based on your general usage plans for getting your laptop running right.

4.  Review the online connections you are using within your computer

The online connection you are working with should be analyzed accordingly. This includes looking at what type of connection you are on. You should turn off the Wi-Fi setup if you are not in an area where a Wi-Fi link is available or you do not have a need to get online at the moment. Getting a Wi-Fi connection ready will cause you to use more battery power.

The same can be said for Bluetooth links. Turn off any Bluetooth setups if you are not trying to link to something through a wire.

5. Remove any peripherals that you do not need or what you feel you do not absolutely need

Some of the peripherals that you might find on your laptop can be convenient. These include peripherals like a mouse or numerical keypad that might be more useful than what directly comes on your keyboard. Meanwhile, a small external fan could be used in one of the USB ports. Don’t forget the use of a portable hard drive.

But you should not have any peripherals in your computer for too long. These parts will use up more battery power than what you can afford to work with. Remove any peripherals that are not necessary for your use. But if you do need to use certain peripherals for any reason, you should avoid using them for far too long or else you might use more battery power than needed.

6. Review the programs on your computer. Stop any programs that are running that you do not need

7. Remove any disc drives

Some laptop computers come with disc drives. These include drives that can handle both CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs. Some modern laptops are powerful enough to take in Blu-ray discs.

But those disc drives can use more power on your laptop than anything else. You should eject any discs in your computer so the laptop will not use more power to get those discs running.

This does not mean that you have to avoid using your disc drive. You can plug in the battery charger that links to your computer when using the disc drive. The process will give you a consistent amount of power while the drive is working. But you should also unplug that after you are done using your disc drive so you do not use more energy.
