  1. laptop should be used in battery or plugged in (electricty) for better life of laptop


    my battery is full now so shall I unplugged my laptop from electricity and use on battery or shall I keep using it on electricity.


    If I use longer time on electricity and doesn't allow my battery to discharge then will it degrade my laptop's battery life

  2. Laptops are for laps? and Battery life

    I just got my first new laptop a compaq model CQ61-411wm. They call this a laptop. I like to sit or lay in bed with my lappy on my lap. I notice the bottom fan vent gets covered up sometimes. ( the vents on the side and back are still clear) Is this enough for the fan to remove the heat.. the air coming out seem pretty warm anytime the fan runs.. not being used to laptops.. is this normal?

    This machine cost $350.00 bucks from Wal-Mart. The Battery cost 90 bucks and I am told to expect to replace it in about a year or so cus they don't last long. I remember having a used laptop from a second hand store 10 years ago. It had a battery that lasted about two hours as does this one.

    You mean to tell me in ten years no one has found a way to make a laptop battery last longer than 2 hours??? I'm shocked.

    At 90 bucks a battery they could fore go the battery and just make 250 dollar non portable laptops - why don't they?

    Anyway, I have rad about using ATI Fusion utility to save on Battery life but what are some other best tips and tricks to save battery life?

    I have a tendency to want to take the battery out every time I plug in the machine to an AC outlet - or never plug it in unless I know I will be using it where I cannot plug it in. - Is this necessary or am I just being paranoid?

    oh Darn.. just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum.. sorry.. not my day.

    They call them 'notebooks' and not laptops these days, for that reason.

    you did just buy a budget laptop, low quality should be no surprise.

    Sure they have. some laptops these days last 10 hours... its just that you got a cheaper, power hungry one.

    They do. called nettops.

    Dim the screen brightness, connect as few externals as possible. thats anything on the USB ports for example.

    I think thats just paranoia. i always want the battery in, so that its charging.

    fixed.

    Laptop battery Dead ?

    Iv just been using my laptop for the past half an hour On the battery when for Some reason it cut off I knew i diddn't have much battery life left but it just Cut out instantly no warning message battery Low Etc...

    Anyway i still needed to use the laptop so i went and plugged it in, laptop Said it was charging was on the computer about another half an hour after that then my dad walked in so i went to unplug the laptop to show him something on the net and as soon as i unplugged it the laptop cut out.

    So i plugged it back in and noticed there was no amber charging light on the laptop so i started up the laptop and it displays on the battery icon "33% plugged in but not charging" and everytime i take it out the mains the laptop cuts out.

    Is my battery dead or could it be just a fault with windows do you think ?
