How to Extend HP Pavilion tx1000 battery’s Life?
by admin on Jan.20, 2010, under laptop battery tips
Laptop computer batteries often run out of power sooner than would be
desired. Here are some tips for making them last longer between charges.
Screensaver: Change your laptop’s screensaver to a blank (Black) screen,
and set it to turn on within a few minutes of inactivity. Screensavers with
graphics
and sound effects will drain the power more quickly, whereas a blank screen
will conserve power.
Hard Drive & Disk Drive: Avoid using the hard drive and disk drive
excessively. Because these are mechanical mechanisms, they consume more
power. In
some cases, upgrading the amount of memory will reduce hard drive usage.
If your pavilion tx1000 laptop is set to run anti-virus scans periodically, only allow this to happen when you have it connected
to AC power, because this substantially increases hard drive usage while it is
running. If you are using an older laptop with no hard drive, consider using a
VDISK or RAMDISK (read more here) to reduce disk drive usage.
Sound/Music: If you want to listen to music while operating the computer,
consider using a separate radio, cassette recorder, or CD player. If the CD
player’s batteries run out, you will be able to keep using the computer, which
is probably your higher priority.
USB Devices: If your hp pavilion tx1000 laptop computer has a USB port,
keep in mind that some USB devices draw power from the computer’s
battery while they are plugged in to it. Avoid leaving such devices plugged
in longer than they need to be.
Software: Different software which accomplishes the same functions may
cause your hp pavilion tx1000 battery computer to use different amounts
of power. If the software utilizes memory more effectively (rather than
reading/writing to the disk or hard drive frequently), it may use less power.
Software which places less demand on the processor can also reduce power
consumption in some cases, along with programs which use a dark-colored background. Avoid running software directly from a 3.5″ disk or CD-ROM, because it will cause these mechanisms to run frequently and drain the
power more quickly
