Laptop is part & parcel now for most of bloggers. The main part of laptop is battery. Many laptop users said, “In the 1st 6 months battery gives backup 4-5 hours but then it decreases to 3-4 hours.” The reason is that most of us don’t take proper care of Laptop & its battery. We should remember that battery gives backup on the performance of laptop.
Here are some tips which will help you in increase long life of laptop battery:
- Always try to minimize the brightness of LCD monitor. You can do it from Windows Control Panel.
- Don’t use any extra icon pack. Although extra icon pack makes desktop more colorful, it reduces performance. It is better to use regular icon.
- Don’t put any CD/DVD in DVD-ROM drive when it is no use. Because if you don’t play DVD but it is inserted in ROM Laptop still takes some power from battery.
- When battery charge reduces, avoid using USB drive for example, pen drive, external hard disc, memory card reader, digital camera. If you use these, it will affect battery power more.
- If you add ipod or smart phone in Laptop through data cable, these products automatically take charge from laptop. So when your battery charge is low, avoid using these products.
- Avoid using internet when laptop battery charge is too low.
- Stop all auto startup program.
- Battery charge depends on laptop’s warming. As more laptop warms, as more laptop battery charge decreases. So always check laptop cooling system. Regular clean “Air Vent.” Always clean Air Vent when Laptop is in shut down position. During cleaning don’t start laptop.
These are some basic tips. I hope if you follow these tips, you shall get full performance from Laptop.

Standby is murder on batteries. Definitely hibernate or shutdown. Then again i dont want to use my laptop differently then intended. Suck it up and buy a new battery when yours hits the wall. With “NetBooks” getting so cheap i think i will just buy a new netbook everytime my battery starts to fail.
Thanks for the list of tips. My lenovo laptop gets hot for just a few minutes of using it and it just shut down by itself when its too warm already. I wanted to regret buying it but the 4 years in service to me is already admiring. I will apply your tips on my new toshiba laptop.
great tips!! i will apply them to improve my laptop batterey!
i always charge my battery twice a week to keep it safe
I tried a lot of ways but my laptop battery already gave up and my new one is really good a Toshiba brand and I hope battery last 6 hours.
Most of the tips are concerned about giving longer life for battery to last hours, but what really is at stake with the battery’s durability is the warming, and how critical air vent actually is but is ironically less observed.
Assalam…
Hi Bro Ahsanul Karim
Nice Tips, Good writing, but sometimes the quality of the batteries does not guarantee long battery life.
These are ways to lengthen battery life not just for a certain moment but also for years of good maintenance so we wouldn’t have to buy batteries twice a year for it. A routine like this needs your complete attention if you want to successfully carry out each tip.
Very nice post friend.Its really help me and now i will remove all the autostart program
THanks
