Learn How to Achieve All Day Computing

When you need to use your computer away from electrical outlets, you depend on battery power to keep your computer running. Different computer components consume power at different rates. The more you use the power-intensive components, the faster you consume battery power.

Your Computer Batteries

Your computer batteries enable you to do more, save more, and spend more time unplugged. Mobility has revolutionized business by enabling you to take your work where ever you go. With your computer batteries, you will be able to work longer without being tied to an electrical outlet.

Checking Battery Status

You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by using Windows Power options.

To display the battery icon in the taskbar, do as follows:

1.Right -click the taskbar, and then click Properties.

2.Click the Notification Area tab.

3.Under System icons, select the Power check box.

The rate at which you use battery power determines how long you can use the battery of your computer between charges. Because each computer user has different habits and needs, it is difficult to predict how long a battery charge will last. There are two main factors:

•How much energy is stored in the battery when you begin to work.

•The way you use your computer: for example, how often you access the hard disk drive, how bright you make the computer display.
