Maximizing battery operating time

A battery's usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:

Processor speed Screen brightness System Sleep Mode System Hibernation Mode Display power off period

Hard Disk Drive power off period

How often and for how long you use the Hard Disk Drive and external disk drives.

How much charge the battery contained to begin with.

How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the battery supplies power.

Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if you are frequently turning the computer off and on.

Where you store your programs and data.

Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the keyboard - closing the display saves power.

The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low temperatures.
