Information On How To Make Your Touch Screen Laptop Battery Lasts Longer

Some people think that laptop batteries should last forever because they’re rechargeable but this is not the case at all.  Laptop batteries and all rechargeable batteries are only good for a certain number of charge cycles.  A charge cycle is basically the number of times that the battery can be discharged and recharged.  When you have reached or are near the maximum number of charge cycles for your laptop battery,  you’ll notice that the laptop battery won’t hold much of a  charge at all.

One thing that is important to know about purchasing a touchscreen laptop is that the battery that comes with the laptop can be configured in multiple ways.  It’s important to pay attention to the technical specifications of the battery of the laptop that you are looking at.  It’s not uncommon at all for computer manufacturers to put inexpensive three cell batteries in the laptops that they’re selling to make the price more appealing to you.  You should know that I a nine cell battery will last three times as long as of three cell battery and therefore it will be to be charged three times less frequently.  What does this mean to you?  It means that the battery will undergo fewer charge cycles and last much longer before you need to buy a new one for your laptop.

What we’re trying to accomplish is fewer recharge cycles which will result in a longer life span of the battery and better usability of the laptop because your battery will die less frequently.  You can accomplish both of these goals by making some simple changes to the power management settings in your computer.  The first setting should be to configure your laptop to run at the most energy efficient setting when it is running exclusively on the battery.  The second thing you should do is configure the action of closing the lid to automatically place the computer in hibernation mode.  Then, when you get up to go to the restroom or take a break from your computer, all you need to do is close the lid and the laptop goes into its most energy efficient state.  Lastly, I would recommend lowering the brightness of your computer when you’re not plugged into a power source.
