there was an article in time magazine that highlighted the fact that touted notebook battery life is BS - and based on situations equivalent to claiming a car has high mileage by (test running in neutral on a downhill slope ) the most you will get out of any laptop is 2 hours, or half of the time quoted. end of story. |

A few tips to maximise your battery life if you didn't already know: - Reduce the brightness of your screen to the barest minimum, especially if you're working at night with no light. - Avoid using USB devices as much as possible; flash disks, mouses, keyboards, etc. -Use headphones instead of your speakers -Google the topic for more tips. 1 Like |

I use a laptop battery doubler & it's serving me so well. Usually my laptop last 45mins but now its close to 4hrs. Just indicate if u are interest to test it out. It does nt ve any effect on your battery. It's a software application developed by experts to give u maximum usage. |
