Goes on a trip - how to extend the battery life of my computer?

So, I'm going on a trip soon on a bus and I want to be able to bring my computer, but it is running out of battery very fast. How can I save energy?

You could:

Looking out the window or talk to your neighbor instead of using the computer in the bus.

Leave your computer at home.

Buy a new battery.

Take the power supply with you in case the bus has power ports for each or a few pairs of seats.

  • Satellite A100-1011E - how to extend the battery life

    Hello world

    I would like to ask you for advice. Given that I just bought this laptop, I would not my battery life shorten as soon as my old laptop. You plug the power cable when the battery is fully charged? Since I'm on cell regularly, 3 h battery is not enough for me. All do you advise me to take the battery out and use that? We hope to get all the valuable tips here. Thank you!

    Hi jimmytee,
    After the available studies, newsletters and my experience, there is no need to remove the battery if fully charged when working with AC plugged in. It is recommended only to tell - and recharge the battery once a month, not more. You should not work with AC plugged on and removed the battery.
    Furthermore, I'm fighting currently with the battery in a new unit. The battery itself was very fast discharge with the unit is turned off and removed ca connection. Now, the Toshiba service changed the battery. Will see how the situation will be after a few days.

  • Qosmio X 500-165 - how to extend the C drive?

    Just bought the Qosmio X 500-165. Does anyone know how to extend the C drive, I get a sign that it is almost full, despite installing all my programs on the partitioned disks that I created? I need to uninstall the software installed by toshiba?

    Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    The 500-165 X is equipped with 64 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB. I don t know the exact partition structure but I assume that Windows is installed on the SSD which is the C drive and HARD drive is your second drive D.

    I recommend to move all files such as photos, videos, music, drive D to improve disk space on c. usually 64 GB SSD should be sufficient for all applications because Windows 7 needs only 20 GB.

    Also, try to reduce the system restore points and delete temporary folders. CCleaner can also help you to clean your system. :)

    make a slideshow in movie maker, how to extend the time image (time peak is seen) a single image that is different from the default time?

    I posted the Live Movie Maker tutorial because
    your question is posted in a forum for Windows 7.

    In Vista Movie Maker 6... There are three ways
    to change the duration of a specific picture that
    is already on the timeline.

    FWIW... the change of setting to: Tools / Options /.
    Advanced... tab applies only to the added clips
    to the timeline * after * you change the setting.

    (1) you can increase or decrease the duration
    a specific image by adding an effect:

    'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

    "Slow Down, half ' double life.

    These effects can be added up to six times.

    (2) for the timeline... you can change the
    duration for each clip manually. Move your
    pointer on on the edge of an element up to the
    you see a double arrow. Now, drag the
    double red arrow... you will see a ToolTip that
    Watch the evolution of life.

    (3) the term may photo on the timeline
    easily be doubled by simply adding another

  • How to extend the duration of sleep

    There are times when I want to use my tablet as a music player.  However, the sleep function allows only a 30-minute delay.  How to extend the duration of sleep?  My tablet is:

Don't forget to remove the tick in the box stay awake when you are finished listening to music or your slate will run battery pretty quickly, especially in performance mode to maximize the opportunities for energy savings.

  • How to extend the life of battery U410?

    Hey guys,.

    Just buy an IdeaPad U410 a few days ago. I tested the battery life, and it's pretty decent after uninstalling Smart Update (5-6 hours of occasional use).

    However, due to my previous experience in the use of computers, Toshiba and Acer laptops, I'm afraid that self-government will reduce very quickly if I continue to load. How you guys deal with this problem? Is it possible to get another 5-6 hours of battery after, say, 1 year of owning this notebook?

    (And I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I don't really know much about computers, haha)

    Thank you!

    Please, open energy management, go into the settings of battery and check optimize for life. This will require less capacity but the battery life would greatly increase the laptop.

  • Portege Z930: How to keep the battery alive as long as possible?

    Hello

    Got a Portege Z930 recently, I do not know how to manage the recharge of the battery in order to maintain 'live' as long as possible.

    I'm mainly using computer at home, to leave the battery and then recharge, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. I had an A-200 before satellite, also use it at home and keep connected all the time; After a few years, the battery capacity decreases

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    > after a few years, the battery capacity decreases

    It's nothing unusual after a few years of any battery would start to lose performance.
    Generally speaking after 500 times charge cycles the battery begins to lose clean performance.

    Of course you can remove the battery and could use the laptop only connected to the power adapter, but in this case, the laptop would shut down when making connection interrupted.

    To extend the battery work, you will need to calibrate the battery from time to time.
    To calibrate the battery, you must discharge the battery until it is completely empty. Then connect the power adapter and charge the battery up to full charge. Repeat this procedure two or three times in the line.

  • How to optimize the battery in my MacBook Pro?

    Hey,.

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 2015 13 inches and I love it so far! Mainly, I bought it for use at the University since I am a student in Architecture and I was told that the MacBook Pro are great for this.

    Anyway, as I always take careful care of my business, I want to know how to maximize the battery in my MacBook Pro? Is it true that whenever I have my MacBook Pro connected to the charger and it reaches the max (100%), the charger stops charging? Also, should I turn off or put to sleep when I'm not using it?

    I have read online some tips, but I want to just make sure that all of its clear. I have a lot of questions to be honest, but if someone can give a brief explanation I would really appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Josetroti:

    When you leave your MacBook Pro is plugged, it stops to load automatically when it reaches 100%. There's no need to unplug it.

    I turn on my Macbook Pro in the morning and left running unless I'm going out for a few hours in this case, I if it turned off.

    In the night I turned off it. I don't use mode 'sleep', as with the SSD climbing boots Macbook very quickly. But that's just my preference.

    I heard that if you leave your computer connected permanently, a once a month, you must let sink to about 30% and then recharge.

    It is not good to let it drop below 10%.

    Here are some tips on using the battery. Batteries for laptops on Mac - Apple Support

  • Bad battery live on Sat M35X - how to reset the battery meter?

    Hello world

    I have a few years old Satellite M35X-S149, no problem so far however I have been affected by the life of the very poor battery (like 10 minutes of full load at 0%). I've reconfigured the power options so that she wouldn't do anything even when the battery went to 0% (not set auto standby extended) and it runs for another 45-60 minutes after 0% battery.

    So I guess the battery is faulty but not dead, and in my opinion, there is a sort of 'meter' that does not work as assumed, is it possible to reset o calibrate?

    Anyone ran into this same problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I can give you a tip how to recalibrate the battery:

    1. the battery should be fully charged to 100%
    2. then you will need to change the profile of powersaving as follows-> Hibernate & standby off, disable the options that cuts off the machine when you batt. stabilize so that the machine stops when the battery is at 0%
    3 let the machine work for how long does the battery last
    4. once the machine stops itself when the battery is COMPLETELY empty, let the battery charge (the laptop must be turned off)
    5. check if it worked and repeat the operation if the result does not satisfy you
    6. in the case of NO success, I would replace the battery

    Welcome and good luck
