Tips to extend battery life for your Laptop - Tested!

There have been times when we wished that your laptop or mobile survived a bit longer and helped you finish that chat you were having with a friend. Well I felt the same way; I looked up on the net and found some interesting ways to extend battery life, so here they are. I have also added some tips that I observed over the course of using of my laptop.

Here are the points that I believe can extend your battery life

* Add Ram- Well this is the most unlikely option that someone would choose, considering that we have to shell in money, but it is very effective.

* Dim your screen- Well this is the most obvious thing to do, but cannot keep it away from the list as it has shown great results, a sure shot way to extend battery power.

* Don’t Multi-Task- Well, this is something that we would find hard to do, considering the fact that we are used to so many applications at the same time, but then it makes your hard drive sweat a lot. So it’s best to give it a rest.

* Auto Save- There is the Auto Save option in MS Office that can be turned off, this also helps in making the battery last longer, but make sure that you have it on towards the fag end of the battery power.

* Cool it down- Make sure that your laptop is kept cool; this results in a better performance.

* Keep the battery clean in every way possible.

* Defragmentation- This process surely makes your PC run faster and thus help keeping your Laptop stay longer

* Make sure you end processes that are running in the background, i.e. end processes via the Task Manager

* Built In Options- There are built in options within the Operating System that you can use and be sure of keeping the battery life under check.

* If you want to listen to music, the using an ear phone would help rather than resorting to your speaker. But cutting down music is best.

* Don’t play games or watch movies- Well all of you would know this, this is a strict no-no.

* Switch of wireless, if you are not using it, and using the device manager make sure that you have other devices switched off.

* OS saves power- Linux uses much less power than Windows

* Lower the Graphics Use-This can be done by changing the screen resolution and shutting off fancy hard drives.

* Get a laptop that has the option of adding another battery
