How to imporve/save laptop battery life?

  • is ok to leave the laptop connected to the mains while i am close to a power supply? or is it better to let the energy drain then recharge it over night?? whats better for the battery or will nothing really affect it?? thanks

  • Answer:

    It is best to take the battery out if it is fully charged and you are going to use it plugged in for a long length of time. Everytime the battery is in it charges and discharges which takes away from the overall life.

You can do it ! That will not really damage / harm to your Battery. If you want to know, how to improve battery life.. here are some tips : Use the correct recharging procedure for your laptop. Only use the power cord that came with your laptop or an authorized replacement. Follow correct maintenance for your battery when not in use. Don't leave it in direct sunlight, areas where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures such as car trunks. Use your laptop's power management features. The system will run at lower processor speeds when enabling power management features and it will go into "sleep" mode faster when inactive. Buy batteries with internal processors such as Li-Ion batteries. Non Li-Ion batteries must be fully discharged and then recharged every 2-3 weeks. If you don't use your laptop for a period of time, you must fully discharge then recharge the battery. For more information google the question.. Manikya

it doesn't matter, my laptop actomatically recharges when its pluged into the mains I often have it plugged into the mains so that when im not near a socket I can use it it won't harm the battery at least i don't think so becasue its designed to recharge like that

Best thing is to use the battery as little as possible, but if you do, make sure it's almost fully discharged before charging and that you charge it to full (100%).
