Windows 10: battery life

good evening,

has anyone noticed a shortened battery life with windows 10 or is around 2 hours good for a laptop battery to last without using the charger. I bought my dell e6410 with windows 7 ultimate on it but only used it for a little while that night before upgrading it to windows 10 pro so really don't know if it lost any battery life. it has the i5 2.67 processor and the backlit keyboard. also seems to be the original battery for it as well.

:)

 

Battery Saving Tips

Hi all I've read some articles on battery saving tips and wonder if you could confirm or deny them, or offer your own.

Things like

Ring Tone volume effects battery life.

Ring tone type (mp3/poly/monophonic) effects battery life

Themes effect battery life

Wallpaper effects battery life

hand set volume effects battery life.

etc etc

 

nokia 5800 rm356 cpu speed is 192MHz, for rm428 it is 369MHz

Battery life is obviously affected.

Overclocking the cpu affects battery life.

Thats why 1 ghz androids have poor battery life compared to nokia.

 

I would say it's okay, though be sure to use the battery because if you always use the power supply the battery will then lose some of its power. So by using it, it helps it stay charged longer

 

I try to use the battery until it gets down to around 10% or so haven't gone lower than 5% though

 

Batteries do just stop charing to full capacity. If you get 2 years out of a battery, that's good. I'm willing to bet your laptop is much older than this.
