Easy tips to save energy with your Compaq laptop computer battery
1. Dim your computer's display
Set the display as low as you comfortably can. You'll save Compaq battery juice.
2. Defrag your hard drive on a regular basis
With less clutter to process, your hard drive operates more efficiently and puts less demand on the Compaq laptop battery.
3. Run only the programs you need
Do you really need iTunes, PhotoShop, PowerPoint and Word 2007 running at the same time you're watching a streaming video program? Probably not. Running multiple programs at the same time uses more hard drive resources and battery energy.
4. Disable unused devices
If you’re not using the modem, turn it off. If you don’t need the CD/DVD drive, remove its disc. Speaking of which…
5. If your Compaq laptop’s CD/DVD drive is removable, consider removing it when you go on the road
That saves a bit on weight as well as drain on power usage.
6. Keep the Compaq laptop battery contacts clean
Carefully remove your Compaq laptop battery every two months or so and clean its metal contacts with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient.
7. Turn off the autosave function
While the autosave feature on the Microsoft Word and Excel programs is handy, it works your hard drive harder which drains laptop battery life quicker. You can help extend battery life by turning off this feature and saving your work yourself.
8. User fewer external devices
USB devices (including your mouse) and WiFi drain your Compaq laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when you're not using them. Charging other devices like an iPod also will drain your battery quickly.
9. Excercise your Compaq laptop battery
Don't leave your fully charged battery unused for an extended period of time. Use it regularly. Also, if
you have a Li-ion Compaq battery, don't let it discharge completely.
10. Keep the temperature down
Be sure to periodically clean out your laptop computer's air vents with a cloth to prevent accumulated
dust and dirt from slowing the cooling fan. When a computer is running hot, the Compaq laptop battery discharges more quickly.
