How to Extend HP Pavilion tx1000 battery’s Life?
by admin on Feb.05, 2010, under laptop batteries
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
