Tech Tip #7 for Saving Your Windows Laptop Battery...Optical drives and USB Ports! If you have an optical drive in your laptop, disable it in Device Manager. Optical drives, even when they're not spinning discs, are power hogs. If you want to watch movies on your laptop, try getting a digital copy onto your hard drive instead. Watching a movie directly from the hard disk uses less power than watching a DVD from the optical drive. Finally, avoid using expansion slots or USB ports, when trying to conserve battery life. Remove all unused peripherals, including external hard drives, keyboards, and mice, which all draw power from your laptop. Tech Tip Tuesday! 12/06/2011

If you own a laptop with a NiMH battery, recalibrate the battery every now and then by letting the battery run all the way down, then charging it all the way up.

In fact, manufacturers encourage users to top off a lithium ion battery frequently and to avoid completely discharging it. | AuthorWrite something about yourself.
