Top 15 Ways to Extend Your Laptop’s Battery Life.

July 10, 2007 · Filed Under Tech 

I always wondered why my laptop’s battery life didn’t go as long as it should, so I just figured it was the WiFi and the Bluetooth that drain all the power out of it. I also knew the trick about lowering the brightness on your screen, some laptops actually do this automatically when you go on battery support. Other than that I wasn’t really sure what else could affect my battery life. And I just found this article on ways to extend the battery life for laptops. It mentions some cool things that I didn’t know, others that I already know. Here is the first tip:

1. Defrag regularly - The faster your hard drive does its work - less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your battery. Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defragging it regularly. (but not while it’s on battery of course!) Mac OSX is better built to handle fragmentation so it may not be very applicable for Apple systems.

For the rest of the tips visit the website previously mentioned.
