Satellite L500-1KK - how to the maximum battery time?

Hello

1. it is indicated on the product specifications L500-1kk expected autonomy is about 03:20 Hrs use mobile brand! However, I was using my laptop for almost a year now, the maximum battery time I get is 02:15 Hrs, whenever I load my mobile suit, the battery still bar program shows me this maximum time remaining! I use the default power settings!

2. most intriguing, is that my sister used another laptop, its battery is approximately the same capacity that mine, around 43200 mWh, us both using Windows 7 Ultimate (she 32bits, I, 64-bit version), but its battery time is at least 4.5 Hrs. Why is this, and how I would maximize my battery time!

3. Finally, her laptop is new (4 months, yet battery pro program shows that the battery wear rate is 7%, my laptop is almost a year and it shows a wear rate of 1.3%, I use mostly my laptop while the power is plugged in, unplugged rarely!) Is their an explanation to the different rates of wear?

Thank you

Hello

To be honest, I think a battery about 02:15 hours is good and I think that everything is ok with your laptop. My new Satellite A500 I also only 2.5 hours if I running on battery, sometimes less than 2 hours or less. That s always according to the applications you run.

Well, it s the same you compare two cars with the same ch from different manufactures a car's fuel consumption higher than the other car, even it have the same hp. Why? Well, the different manufacturers using different parts: other tires, gears, weight, dray of air, etc.

You can compare two identical notebooks or cars from the manufacturing even to find a problem, but * not * from different manufacturers. ;)

Last but not least, this could be an interesting document:

  • Satellite L500-1KK - upgrade of the memory

    Hello

    My L500-1kk came with the following memory specifications:

    Standard memory: 4 096 (2 048 + 2 048) MB
    maximum extension: 8 192 MB
    technology: DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)

    Locations of memory expansion 2 × (1 to configure)

    1. now, I need to update my system to 8 GB, because it says that my system has 2 x memory slots, and it is Mo (2 048 + 2 048), does that mean I need to replace the original modules with 4 GB modules?

    2 (1 for configure) means? is it an empty space where I can add a 4 GB module?

    3. what else do I need to know about adding memory to my system?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    If you want to switch to 8 GB of RAM, you must remove the two modules of 2 GB (current) and purchase two 4 GB modules.

    As you have already written in the memory specifications, you need RAM DDR2 800 MHz.

    You can buy new memory modules in an ASP or check you some online stores. Kingston is also good RAM modules.

    Interesting information about the upgrade of RAM you will find also in your manual!

  • Satellite Pro U400 - how your last long battery time

    Hello everyone!

    I bought a toshiba laptop (satellite pro u400), but I think he has a very short range, about 1 h.
    Someone like that have a computer toshiba laptop?

    How long your battery last time?

    Thank you!!!

    GLO :-)

    Hello

    I have a U400 and I also use it with the battery.

    I use it for surfing the internet and writing
    Execution of the laptop with battery I always set the brightness to the minimum, and in this case I can use it for about two hours.

    If the screen light is set to max and the HARD drive and the CD/DVD drive works then your battery time will likely decline at a time.

    So, as you can see the battery time work depands defintialy on the use of the laptop...

  • Satellite L500-1KK - which driver to use?

    Hi all!

    I noticed that Intel released new drivers for their graphics 4500MHD card, however, is published on the site of Toshiba for my Satellite L500-1KK are older and are never updated as often as those published on the website of Intel, my questions are:

    1. is it safe to use the new drivers from Intel for their chipset or should I stick to those published by Toshiba?
    2. What are the possible differences between these drivers Intel and Toshiba here?  :|

    Thank you all!

    You see, dude, if everything works do not touch the system with an update of the driver. I always run my laptop with the old drivers and satisfied.

    Yes, you can use the chipset drivers intel and should not be the concern :)

    I am new to computers and laptops and that you just bought the Toshiba Satellite L500-1WG. I was told, in the shop, he has an internal modem?

    What should I do to activiate/get connected to the internet? Do I need an external modem wired or wireless as well? No difficult language or abbreviations please, I am a total novice with very limited on this subject knowledge. Have only to learn how to start and run the basic set up.

    HEY buddy,

    > Told me, in the shop, he has an internal modem?
    It seems that this shop doesn't know what they are selling or they wanted kid a small round little

    It turns out satellite L500 is not equipped with modem and it doesn t have a modem (RJ12) port.

    So if you want to use the modem connection, you must purchase an external. But for now he s not advised to use a modem, the majority of the pages are not designed for modem more.

    I bought a Satellite L500 - 19 c with Windows 7 64 bit and I am having trouble with the keyboard mapping for the correct use of the Portuguese language.
