Reasons Why Your Laptop Battery Isn't Lasting to Its Full Potential
Is your laptop battery not lasting as long as it used to and you're not exactly sure why it isn't? There are several reasons why your battery charge is not lasting as long as it used to when you first purchased your laptop. One of the factors that could affect the length of time that your Toshiba satellite M70 battery stays charged is your usage habit. The more physical devices that you use on your laptop that involves using electricity, the more you can expect your battery charge not to last long.
The devices that are the primary sources of the battery charge expended are the hard drive, floppy drive and the CD-ROM. There may be processes you are using that deplete the physical memory resources in your system, the system will convert to the virtual memory to complete the process you are currently involved in completing. Virtual memory is devised to expand system memory resources by creating a memory swap file on the hard drive and then transmit the necessary data between the hard drive and the physical memory. The hard drive is greedy when it comes to the electricity, so in turn the virtual memory will also drain the electricity because of the use of the hard drive. The audio and the display devices can also use a lot of electricity that will help drain your Lenovo 3000 V200 battery charge. You could try turning down the display screen where it is not as bright and this will help save electricity. Video devices that require graphic programs also consume electricity. Video software can contribute highly to on your electrical requirements because of its activity of virtual memory, computation and calculations.
Another factor to consider in why your Acer Aspire 5560 laptop battery is not lasting is battery memory. Battery memory is where the battery becomes conformed to run for less time than it is actually created to run. For example, if you use your computer on battery for two hours and then plug it back up to recharge, the battery will become basically "trained" to be useable only two hours before it runs out of energy. In order to repair battery memory problems, you must totally drain the battery and then recharge it. Go to your Windows Control Panel and select power to totally drain your battery. Turn off Power Management. Then go into your BIOS and check and see if there is a power management setting there, if so, you must turn it off also. After you finish these steps, use your Escape key to return back to the top level menu, choose Save Settings and Exit. After you have finished turning off the power management in the BIOS and your operating system, unplug the computer, turn the computer on and let it go until it is totally drained of electricity.
After these processes, charge the Acer Extensa 4630Z battery for twelve hours. Once the charging time frame is over, run the computer again until the power is dead and charge the battery again for another twelve hours. Repeat this procedure four times and this will return the computer back to its original power management settings. It is suggested that you should use your battery once every two weeks, and to also keep the battery inside the system so the AC adapter can keep the battery charged all the time. Also, if you do not use the battery for more than two weeks, it is suggested that you totally discharge the HP 530975-341 battery and keep it at room temperature so it doesn't become damaged from becoming too hot or too cold.
