There are many hidden applications and features that attribute to a laptop battery losing power very quickly. To help you avoid notebook\u00a0battery run out quickly, today BattAussie laptop battery experts show you how to get the most time out of your laptop battery. By following several simple steps, your Dell d5318 battery<\/a>\u00a0lasts longer without the use of a\u00a0<\/span>laptop charger, and you no longer have to bound yourself to the limits of the extension of your charging cord.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lower Laptop\u00a0Screen Brightness<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, you find that your screen is brighter than it needs to be, and when you lower it, it still emits enough light for you to see what is on the screen. Preserve yourlaptop battery\u00a0life by lowering your brightness when in dark environments, indoors, and when using your computer for musical purposes. This way, the battery life lasts longer, and you are left with more time for usage.<\/p>\n

Quit Apps<\/h2>\n

\"dell-inspiron-6000-laptop-battery\"<\/a>When using an application on your laptop, it remains open until you quit it. On many and most laptop computers, this means going to the application menu, and selecting \u201cquit application\u201d from the selections available. In many instances, users believe if they click on the \u201cx\u201d icon in the upper corner, it quits the application. This is not always the case. In most situations, this only temporarily closes the window for the application. If you do not properly close the program, it continues to run, wasting battery, until properly quit.<\/p>\n

Disable Wi-Fi<\/h2>\n

This tip is handy when you are not surfing the Internet. If you find that your laptop is a bit low on battery, or if wish to preserve your battery because you are on a long car ride or airplane, it is best that you disable your Wi-Fi. When Wi-Fi is enabled and you are not connected to the Internet via\u00a0wireless router, your\u00a0computer\u00a0is constantly searching for a connection. This wastes battery power, but you can solve this by disabling Wi-Fi abilities. Think ahead and completely disable Wi-Fi when on car rides, on an airplane, or in the middle of the ocean where there is absolutely no connection available.<\/p>\n

Screensaver Timer<\/h2>\n

On almost all\u00a0laptop computers, there is a setting in the system preferences that allows you to set a screensaver timer. This enables the screensaver to come on, sending the computer into a temporary state of sleep, while still keeping your progress with every application still open. Set the timer for 5, 10, 30, or 60 minutes, and when your computer goes inactive for that period of time, meaning you do not type, scroll, or click on anything, your computer goes into screensaver mode. Here is a chart that shows the average operating time on popular\u00a0laptop\u00a0computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Laptop Name<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Minutes of Operating Time (on Internet)<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

ASUS U30Jc<\/td>\n476 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Acer 1810T<\/td>\n463 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Toshiba A660D<\/td>\n324 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
MacBook Pro 13-inch<\/td>\n300 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Gateway ID49C<\/td>\n216 minutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Setting a timer for your screensaver is useful for situations in which you get up to use the bathroom, go on a quick snack break, or even get up to retrieve something else from a different room. This allows you to save as much of your laptop\u2019s battery as possible as often as you can. Enable screensaver timer settings in your system preferences.<\/p>\n

Avoid USB Connections<\/h2>\n

Whenever you plug something into your Dell inspiron 9400 laptop via USB, it drains the inspiron 9400 battery<\/a>\u00a0of your laptop computer even faster. For instance, when you plug your phone, camera,\u00a0USB flash drive, or other electronic device into your computer to charge, you take battery life from your computer and transfer it into your electronic device through USB. Using USB connections draws life out of your computer battery twice as fast, and you should avoid doing so if possible. For example, wait until later to transfer pictures from your phone, or avoid using headphones for the time being.<\/p>\n

Completely Shut Down Your Laptop Computer<\/h2>\n

At the end of the day, when you finish using your notebook\u00a0and you close the screen, it does not completely power off. Although in a \u201cstate of sleep,\u201d there are still applications and basic memory standards that remain running, and this wastes\u00a0battery\u00a0life<\/a>. When you are completely done using your laptop computer, shut it down to ensure that when you turn it back on, you have the same amount of battery life as you did when you shut it down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
