1. Read carefully before using the laptop battery part of the maintenance manual;
2. The first charge, you need to constantly recharge the Laptop battery to 12 hours and the loop for a full charge and discharge completely 3 times to wake up a new battery;
3. If prolonged use of an external power supply, preferably, remove the laptop battery. Many of my friends no attention to this problem, remove the battery without external power does not only affect the battery life, but also allow laptops to become even heavier burden on the heat of shortening the life of laptops ;
4. Periodically charge and discharge. Even without the memory effect of lithium-ion battery there is an effect of inertia for some time not to use lithium-ion loss of activity should re-activation. Therefore, if a long time (three weeks or more) without using a laptop or found that the IBM ThinkPad T42 battery charge and discharge time shorter, should be completely discharged, then recharge the battery, usually a month for at least a full charge and discharge 1.
5. Best to turn off the notebook when charging, the battery can be fully charged, disconnect the power load in half-way. Charge off charging shorter than the start of over 30% charging time, but also prolong the life of the laptop battery. The best finish for 30 minutes in the fridge before use.
6. To prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent erosion of liquid chemicals, avoid contact with metal objects touch the battery short circuit, etc. happen. Lithium loading and unloading of number of generally not more than 800 times, on a charge, it will shorten life. Suggest that you try to use an external power supply, several times if you use mid-way Plug Power, and the laptop does not disconnect the built-in battery will be the length of battery life shortened by large because each access to external power is equivalent to recharge the Dell Inspiron E1705 battery once. Optimization of power options to set the direction for laptop users, we recommend the use of WindowsXP operating system, of course, if the configuration of the laptop is too low or even no WindowsXP can meet the minimum requirements, it is another matter. There are many reasons, the main point is that the power management device is the most advanced of all computer operating systems, if combined with the Centrino platform, the better. 1.6 GHz Pentium-M load is low below work only in the frequency of 600MHz.
If your laptop supports Intel SpeedStep or AMD PowerNow Transmeta LongRun technology, we must remember that the latest drivers installed, to play its biggest utility, Windows XP is automatic, you can follow their own requirements in A1045 terms of performance and able to find a balance. Users can adjust the settings of the most optimized power management
1. Do not use a screen saver.
2. The power to use the program, select “Notebook”, the text of the time as you need a reasonable framework, the circumstances of each vary, the drawbacks to make mandatory. Overall time to stop the hard drive setting was slightly longer than the stand-point, in order not to affect the life of the hard disk.
3. Enter “Power Options” attribute in the “Advanced” reasonable use “power button”, give a big, can also enhance the efficient use of battery life. For example: the phrase “together on a laptop is set to” standby “, which left the laptop for a while, the only power but also the confidentiality of private information is very helpful but not necessary to wait to restart the time. By Manufacturer front line of laptops (such as IBM, Sony, HP, Toshiba, etc.), often provide the best software for energy management, and has some special features: IBM software driver ‘energy reduces the LCD refresh rate; program Toshiba power management in the absence of sufficient direct power off your device in any designated 1, sony VGP-BPS2A battery program dedicated power management can adjust speed cooling fan, you can also disable the non-use of the IEEE1394 interface and Memory Stick, to achieve energy savings of the head.
