One trick: how to properly use and maintenance of the books of the battery. The battery is the key to affect the standby time of laptop. To improve endurance capacity, focusing on battery maintenance is essential.
Carefully read the user manual before using a Asus K72J battery maintenance part;
(2) The first charge, you should continuously charge the battery to 12 hours, and cycle to fully charge and discharge completely 3 times to wake up a new battery;
3 If prolonged use of external power supply, it is best to remove the battery. Many of my friends did not notice this problem, do not remove the battery with an external power supply not only affect the battery life, laptop cooling burden becomes heavier, and shorten the life of notebook computers;
4 regularly charge and discharge. Even without the memory effect of lithium-ion batteries also exist certain inertia effect for a long time not to use lithium-ion loss of activity, need to re-activate. Therefore, if a long time (three weeks or longer) do not use a computer or find the battery charge and discharge time shorter, should be fully discharged before charging the battery, usually at least once a month a full charge and discharge.
5 best to turn off when charging laptop, the battery can be fully charged, do not unplug the power drop in the charge. The charge off the boot charging to shorten the charging time more than 30%, and can extend the battery life. Best in the fully charged for 30 minutes before use.
(6) To prevent exposure to prevent damp to prevent the erosion of chemical liquids, avoid battery contacts with metal objects occurrence of a short circuit from happening.
Lithium battery charge and discharge is generally not more than 800 times on one charge, it will shorten the life. We recommend that you use an external power supply, If you use half-way multiple plug power supply, and the laptop built-in battery does not pull out, will make the battery life shortened because every time an external power supply access is equivalent to a Asus K52J Battery charge.
The second trick: Optimizing set the power management options. For laptop users, we recommend using the Windows XP operating system, of course, if the configuration of the laptop is too low can not even meet the minimum requirements in WindowsXP, it is another matter. Reasons in addition to WindowsXP feature-rich, more importantly, of course, because WindowsXP for laptop power management is the most advanced of all computer operating systems, if that can meet the Centrino platform that is certainly better – such as the following shown in Figure 1, 1.4GHz of the Pentium-M when the load is small only operate at frequencies below 600MHz.
If your laptop supports Intel SpeedStep, AMD PowerNow or Transmeta LongRun technology, it must keep in mind the latest drivers installed in order to play its biggest utility, WindowsXP is automatic, Win2000 specific settings as shown below, you can find a balance in accordance with their own requirements on performance and power consumption.
Do not use the screen saver
2 power scheme, select the “Portable / Laptop” and reasonable set the time according to your needs everyone’s situation is different, of course, there is no hard and fast rules, generally Turn off hard disks is set too a little more than a long standby time, so as not to affect the life of the hard disk.
3 Go to “Power Options Properties” Advanced “fair use” power button “, can bring you great convenience, can also enhance the rational use of battery life (see below). Such as: the “the closed portable computer” is set to “standby”, leaving the laptop for a while, not only power but also the confidentiality of the personal information of great help, but do not need to wait for the restart time.
For the use of a line of large laptop (such as IBM, SONY, HP, Toshiba, etc.), usually provide better power management software, and has some special features: IBM power management program can reduce the refresh of the LCD screen rate; TOSHIBA Toshiba’s power management program can be directly in the case of lack of power to turn off any device that you specify; SONY dedicated power management program can set the running speed of the cooling fan, you can also turn off the IEEE1394 interface and do not use MEMORY STICK slot, in order to achieve power saving purpose. Rational use of the technical features of these different manufacturers, also can extend the Asus A32-K52 Battery life of the notebook.
