Imagine you are sitting at the airport and you have just enough time to log in and check your email on the cool new Dell Latitude E5410 Laptop. Just as you get to your inbox, the light starts flashing saying you are running out of laptop battery power<\/strong> and wouldn\u2019t you know it, your cord won\u2019t reach the outlet. There are certain steps you can take to extend your laptop battery\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

1. Dim the monitor. Most laptop computers have this option available and many include CPU and cooling enhancement enabling you to squeeze every last bit of power from your laptop battery.<\/p>\n

2. Reduce the number of programs that are active in the background. You may be running programs such as ITunes, Desktop Search, and so on. These all contribute to your laptop CPU usage which quickly lowers battery life. Shut down everything you don\u2019t need when operating on Dell Latitude E5410 Laptop Battery<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Limit the use of external devices. This includes all USB devices. Your mouse and Wi-Fi use a lot of notebook battery juice. Simply shut them down or unplug them. And never charge your MP3 or iPod when solely operating on battery power.<\/p>\n

4. CD and DVD drives consume more power than hard drives do, so you should run off a hard drive whenever possible. Just having a CD\/DVD in the drive can use laptop battery power. While the hard drive spins, it uses battery life although the device is not being used. Instead of using optical programs, you should use virtual drive programs such as Alcohol 120% as much as possible.<\/p>\n

5. Keep the battery contacts free of dust and debris. Clean the battery\u2019s metal contacts frequently with a clean cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol on it and you will maintain power transfer efficiency.<\/p>\n

6. Exercise your Dell Latitude E5410 Battery<\/strong><\/span>. Do not let charged battery sit idle for an extended amount of time. You should use the battery a minimum of one time every two to three weeks once it is charged. And never allow a Li-On\u00a0Dell studio 1749 battery<\/a> to completely discharge. Only older laptop batteries with memory effects should be allowed to discharge.<\/p>\n

7. Use the hibernate function instead of standby; this saves a lot more power. Not only will your Dell Latitude E5410 Laptop shut down in the hibernation mode, it will resume right where you left off.<\/p>\n

8. To set up and get the most out of your power options, you should find the \u201cPower Options\u201d link in your Windows Control Panel; once you get there, you can maximize your power usage by selecting the \u201cMax Battery\u201d option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
