Top 15 Ways to Extend Your DELL 312-0106 Battery Life

1. Defrag regularly of your laptop -The faster your hard drive does its work - less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your DELL 312-0106 battery. Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defragging it regularly. (but not while it' s on battery of course!) Mac OSX is better built to handle fragmentation so it may not be very applicable for Apple systems.

2. Dim your Lapotp screen - Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance. Cut them down to the lowest level you can tolerate to squeeze out some extra DELL 312-0106 battery juice.

3. Cut down on programs running in the background. Itunes, Desktop Search, etc. All these add to the CPU load and cut down DELL 312-0106 battery life. Shut down everything that is not crucial when you are on battery.

4. Cut down external devices - USB devices (including your mouse) & WiFi drain down your DELL 312-0106 laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when not in use. It goes without saying that charging other devices (like your iPod) with your laptop when on battery is a surefire way of quickly wiping out the charge on your laptop battery.

5. Add more RAM - This will allow you to process more with the memory your DELL 312-0106 laptop has, rather than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory results in hard drive use, and is much less power efficient. Note that adding more RAM will consume more energy, so this is most applicable if you do need to run memory intensive programs which actually require heavy usage of virtual memory.

6. Run off a hard drive rather than CD/DVD - As power consuming as hard drives are, CD and DVD drives are worse. Even having one in the drive can be power consuming. They spin, taking power, even when they are not actively being used. Wherever possible, try to run on virtual drives using programs like Alcohol 120% rather than optical ones.

7. Keep the DELL 312-0106 battery contacts clean: Clean your battery' s metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient.

8. Take care of your DELL 312-0106 battery - Exercise the Battery. Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time. Once charged, you should at least use the DELL 312-0106 battery at least once every two to three weeks. Also, do not let a Li-On battery completely discharge. (Discharing is only for older batteries with memory effects)

9. Hibernate not standby -Although placing a DELL 312-0106 laptop in standby mode saves some power and you can instantly resume where you left off, it does not save anywhere as much power as the hibernate function does. Hibernating a PC will actually save your PC' s state as it is, and completely shut itself down.

10. Keep operating temperature down - Your DELL 312-0106 laptop operates more efficiently when it' s cooler. Clean out your air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner, or refer to some extra tips by LapTopMag. com.

11. Set up and optimize your power options - Go to 'Power Options' in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the 'max battery' for maximum effect).

12. Do not multitask - Do one thing at a time when you are on DELL 312-0106 battery. Rather than working on a spreadsheet, letting your email client run in the background and listening to your latest set of MP3' s, set your mind to one thing only. If you do not you will only drain out your batteries before anything gets completed!

13. Go easy on the PC demands -The more you demand from your DELL 312-0106 PC. Passive activities like email and word processing consume much less power than gaming or playing a DVD. If you have got a single DELL 312-0106 battery charge - pick your priorities wisely.

14. Get yourself a more efficient DELL 312-0106 laptop -Laptops are getting more and more efficient in nature to the point where some manufacturers are talking about all day long batteries. Picking up a newer more efficient laptop to replace an aging one is usually a quick fix.

15. Prevent the Memory Effect - If you are using a very old laptop, you will want to prevent the 'memory effect' - Keep the DELL 312-0106 battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries (which most laptops have) which do not suffer from the memory effect.
