education, social and other benefit depending on the user.
You can
maximize your battery power in the following ways to get its optimum power
usage.
Don’t run
CD/DVD when on battery : do let your system run on its hard disk when on
battery as it would save considerable power against running a CD/DVD on it .The
rate of spin of the CD/DVD consumes more power .So avoid running CD/DVD except
when necessary.
Run
minimal programs/application: the more application or program you run, the more
load it adds to your CPU (Central Processing Unit) and that cuts down the life
of your battery.
Dim your
screen: the light on your pc screen consume some level of power, by dimming
your screen, you can save more power to execute your task. Most systems come

portable devices to save power on them. Below are different keys that can be
used to dim screen as different manufacturers have different keys to execute
the function.

battery terminal clean: the contacts or terminal of the batty to te laptop is
the point/channel through which power goes into the system and charge goes to
the battery when being charged on AC.Keep the terminals clean by using
moistened cloth in alcohol as you schedule preferably bi monthly or quarterly .
