the tips of getting the most out of your laptop battery

Don’t leave your laptop plugged in all the time, if you do, you might as well remove the battery

and store it with a half charge. This might not be true anymore with Li Ion batteries. I’m not

sure… someone will know in the comments.

Turn down the monitor’s brightness.

Avoid using the CD/DVD drive.

Turn off the keyboards backlight.

Turn off Bluetooth, Airport, Sync, System Sounds. If you’re not using them, don’t turn them

on.

Cut down on running applications.

Remove external devices like mice, iPods, other USB devices.

Use Safari. It may just be me but Firefox is slow with all the Add ons and memory issues.

Change your power settings to “Better Battery Life”. This will often change your processor

power to enable longer battery life.
