\nLaptop computers are our gateways to all things online. Your high-powered Lenovo Thinkpad notebook will follow you from home to office to coffee shops and back, hour after hour\u2026as long as you take a few steps to maximize the notebook battery\u2019s power.<\/p>\n

How to Maximize\u00a0Lenovo Thinkpad T61 Laptop Battery<\/a> Life<\/h3>\n

1. Prevent updates from running on battery power<\/p>\n

Virus scanners, extension updates and other regularly scheduled tasks can sap precious juice while you\u2019re unplugged. Change your settings so these tasks will only run when your laptop is plugged in to a power source.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Modify your Power Plan settings<\/p>\n

Many of the most efficient settings\u2014for sleep mode, screen brightness, wireless adapters and more\u2014can be set to adjust automatically. In Windows 8.1, you can choose from two power-saving plans:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Balanced:<\/strong>\u00a0Offers full performance when you need it and saves power when you don\u2019t. This is the plan for most people.<\/li>\n
  2. Power Saver:\u00a0<\/strong>Reduces performance and screen brightness to help get more from a single charge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To view and select a plan, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, click or tap\u00a0Search,\u00a0<\/strong>type\u00a0Power Options<\/strong>, then choose the plan you want to use.<\/p>\n

    3. Turn down the brightness on your screen<\/p>\n

    Your screen backlight uses a lot of Lenovo thinkpad t400 battery<\/a> juice, so turn it down to the lowest level you can comfortably handle. If your system doesn\u2019t have a button or dial, you\u2019ll need to turn off the automatic adjustment feature before reducing brightness.<\/p>\n

    4.\u00a0Turn off Bluetooth<\/p>\n

    Bluetooth\u00a0is a powerful technology, but leaving it on at all times means using the battery. Get in the habit of turning Bluetooth off when it\u2019s not in use to get more power from your Lenovo thinkpad r61 battery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    5.\u00a0Turn off or unplug unneeded devices<\/p>\n

    Many USB devices eat up battery power even when idle. Unplug headphones and flash drives when not in use and consider replacing your mouse with a touchpad or tablet pen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
