Laptop battery for longer approach
Crescent laptop battery / 2009-10-20 [big] [middle] [small] as prices continue to decrease, notebook computers at an unprecedented rate into more people's lives. Compared to ordinary PC, the notebook easy to carry, is the mobile office and entertainment, the best choice. But NB there are still many problems, first and foremost problem is the battery duration is too short.
Now a new laptop battery generally 2 to 6 hours between, with the aging of the battery, this time will be shortened. Battery life of 6 hours or more of the little notebook, but expensive. NB Users will often puzzled many in the leaflets that read "life time of up to eight hours" to buy back later, only 3 hours so it can be used.
In fact, many businesses are advertising "life time" is turned on saving state, the lowest screen brightness, and do not use a computer case, the battery can maintain the longest time. The vast majority of NB users do not open the computer to do the Hao Zhao, as long as the computer is in working condition, whether songs, typing or Internet access, battery life is always better than less information on the list many.
Moreover, even the same type of product, depending on the NB configuration and users use the latter part of the Bu Tong Ye Huan Jing Deng will make "life Shi Jian" Cheng Wei uncertainty of a variable, this Zhihai Shi increase of only decreasing.
Then how do we squeeze more work-oriented this time? Here, Xiao Bian give some suggestions:
1. For users of the system to use Vista
Microsoft senior product manager Jason Leznek in Microsoft's official Vista blog, said some Vista test users often can not successfully connect to public Wi-Fi hot spots, there is reason for this problem wireless AP or router hardware is not compatible or does not correctly support Wi-Fi energy saving protocol, resulting in 802.11 wireless network card can not enter sleep power saving mode. To ensure a smooth connected notebook users wireless hot spots, Microsoft decided to give up before the release of power-saving mode, the default will be Vista's wireless configuration settings in the performance of more energy-intensive mode.
Typically, the user only in the notebook connected to AC power until after the selection of this mode, so if the user knowledge, "tacit" support Vista laptop battery, of course not persist for too long. Vista offers three power management options are the largest and most power-hungry performance of "High Performance", the most power but the performance of the worst "Power Saver", the relative balance between performance and power consumption of "Balanced".
OEM manufacturers may ship before Vista, notebook modify some default settings, users can own control panel in Vista, select the power saving mode, of course, can be replaced with XP or other systems.
2. Fine-tune the computer settings
If not necessary, in battery mode, best not to use too much of the notebook computer peripherals or functions, in particular, external devices, the "big power", such as: external hard drive or optical drive, etc.. If you use the environment or conditions permit, it is best to reduce the brightness of the display, unplug the mouse using the touch pad, close the built-in network card, infrared, Bluetooth, sound system and so on.
Using a more complex screen saver, in fact, laptop will use more power than normal. In case there is no need to minimize the opening screen saver to extend battery life.
3. Optimization shutdown mode
If within a few hours after shutdown does not require re-open the notebook, you can use the "off" to turn off the computer, because even if the notebook computer "standby" power consumption will also trace; if temporarily closed, then, should use the option "standby "This saves re-boot the waiting time can also be reduced because the boot drive brought a lot of access to action to save power. In short, we should wake up in the interval of time and notebook computers to find a balance between power consumption.
