The first charge, you should continuously charge the battery to 12 hours, and the loop to fully charge and discharge completely 3 times to wake up a new battery;
If the prolonged use of an external power supply, preferably remove the battery. Charge and discharge on a regular basis. Even without the memory effect of lithium-ion battery there is a certain inertia effect for a long time not to use lithium-ion loss of activity would need to re-activation. Therefore, if a long time (three weeks or longer) without using a computer or found that the battery charge and discharge time shorter, should be fully discharged and then recharge the battery, generally a month for at least a full charge and discharge 1. Best to switch off the notebook when charging, the battery can be fully charged, do not unplug the power in the charge half-way. Charging off recharge shorter than the boot more than 30% of the charging time, but also to extend battery life. The best finish for 30 minutes in the charge before use. To prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent the erosion of chemical liquids, avoid contact with metal objects touch the battery short-circuit, etc. happen. Lithium battery charging and discharging of the number of generally not more than 800 times, on one charge, it will shorten a life. Recommended to make use of an external power supply, many times if you use half-way Plug Power, and the laptop does not pull out the built-in battery will give the battery life shortened by large, because each access to external power supply is equivalent to charge the battery once.
Users can do to optimize power management settings
1. Do not use a screen saver.
2. The power to use the program, select "Portable / Laptop", the following of the time as you need a reasonable setting, everyone's circumstances vary, inconvenience to make mandatory. General to shut down the hard drive time setting time was slightly longer than the stand-point, so as not to affect the hard drive life.
3. Enter "Power Options" attribute in the "Advanced" reasonable use "power button", give you great convenience, can also enhance the rational use of battery life.
In the use of laptop computers, we can do the hardware energy have the following main categories:
1). To reduce the brightness of laptop LCD screens, LCD liquid crystal screen is large power consumption in notebook computers, we can appropriately reduce the screen brightness to reduce its consumption of electricity, the majority of notebook computers through the "Fn" + "F8" or " F9 "to adjust the screen brightness, there is usually an optional eight kinds of brightness, the brightness is generally used on almost the middle of the key to your personal hobby.
2). Notebook computers will be taken into account in the design expansion capacity to facilitate the connection with other devices. So we will see a lot of laptops around the peripheral devices can be connected to an extension of mouth, as long as reasonable layout and of course, is to extend the mouth, the stronger the more scalable. However, each port needs power, too much on the external interface to an unnecessary increase in power consumption and shorten battery life. Notebook computers LPT, serial most people rarely used, it is recommended in the BIOS will disable them. If your laptop has infrared capabilities, without having time to also put it off, which in the "Device Manager" can be directly disabled, and when the need arises to open.
3). Now almost all of the computers have built-in Modem and network card, it is best to switch off them when needed and then opened. A lot of computers coupled with a wireless card, if you temporarily do not have access, it is recommended to disable, otherwise it is in constant search of the network, consuming unnecessary electricity.
4). Drive energy savings. Maximize notebook memory to improve performance and reduce power consumption hard drive constantly reading, memory is reached 512MB, using the Windows XP system, you can disable the virtual memory to avoid frequent disk read.
5). Some notebook computers will adjust the BIOS in the CPU and other parts of the state of energy-saving technologies, check the feature is turned on. In use to save on the usual use as long as we pay attention to the battery power consumption can be reduced.
Here we summarize it, so that you can pay attention to in use.
①. Peripherals connected to the expansion of the mouth immediately after use to remove, such as printers, scanners, digital cameras, mobile hard drives, USB floppy drive and so on. As long as these peripherals connected to the laptop computer, even if no work will consume battery power;
②. If the PCMCIA slot expansion card is no need to use, should be immediately removed;
③. Laptop computer power drive great no need to use the CD-ROM to be taken out, otherwise it would intermittently read, to increase energy consumption. Smooth performance notebook cooling heat and power relationship between the two are very close, this is the heat from the laptop way to decide. Notebook computers generally use the temperature-controlled fan with heat pipe cooling technology, and only reach a certain temperature will enable the built-in cooling fan. Once the notebook computer's internal air circulation by heat pipe heat can not be spread out in time, will lead to the fan stop running. Since only a notebook computer's internal temperature reaches a certain temperature-controlled fan will run, then we note the following points can reduce the fan power consumption. (1). As far as better ventilation or air-conditioned rooms. (2). Do not let debris and dust blocked cooling holes in notebook computers, heat pipe, heat sinks, the internal parts can not be too dirty, I have been dismantled to a notebook everywhere, a thick gray, that would lead to heat very troublesome. 3. In the home or office use, the best preparations for a good cooling effect of water cushion pad at the bottom through the water cushion so that laptop for better cooling.
