Notebook power use skills

Notebook computers the greatest characteristic is its mobility, and support their mobility is the basis of its power supply system, how to make better use of the power of the notebook computer system? The notebook computer power system introduction The mainstream notes standard configuration of the power supply system including rechargeable battery and external dc power supply. In communication power supply, often use circumscribed dc power supply for notebook computer power supply, its use features and ordinary desktop no much difference. 1. Rechargeable batteries Notebook computers of the power supply system is its flexibility and stability of the fundamental, power system including power adapter, rechargeable battery and power management system, etc. Power adapter is used to connect the external power supply and give the battery and battery and reflect the notebook computer portability important link. Now most of the notebook computer with lithium batteries, general sustainable work 3 hours, which can meet the needs of the general go out to work. 2. Charge skill New buy back of the battery to completely filled with at least a electricity, then put all power, second charge before formal use. When the notebook computer in indoor use alternating current (ac) when had better take it out, lest make its often in charging state. Charging when had better shut the notebook computer, make a battery can completely full of electricity, not in charge midway pulled out power. Charging completes, should be in 30 minutes after use. In addition must pay attention to the regular charge and discharge generally at least once every month charge and discharge. Notebook computers energy saving Settings Energy saving set includes BIOS Settings of the energy saving mode and setting up the Windows operating system, and the latter should take precedence over the former. 1. Set the BIOS energy-saving options In CMOS mostly have a [PowerSavings] options, optional [MaximumBatteryLife] or [MaximumPerformance] (the default), etc. Set energy-saving options, mainly set by [1 dlemode] (free) to [StandbyMode] (standby) [StandbyTimeout] time and by the [StandbyMode] into [Suspend Mode] [SuspendTimeout] (dormancy) time. Notebook computers energy saving mode have IdleMode, StandbyMode and SuspendMode, etc., these Settings are able to adjust power consumption, mainly in computer into a state of energy saving, duly close some don't need to use system equipment. In a suspended state, in addition to close a display and hard disk outside, still can be in the memory contents save to disk, the entire computer system basic sustain closed. Once the activation or restart the computer, the desktop will correctly restored to resting state before. The notebook computer use PhoenixBIOS be in the majority. Different BIOS energy saving Settings may be some different, should be carefully read the screen prompt. 2. Use third party software There are many tools program can monitoring the use of battery state. PowerCenter in addition to display cell volume percentage outside, still and points to show the actual can use time. There are three kinds of PowerCenter display mode. (1) FullDisplay: in the open window display in details, including the use of battery or alternating current (ac), battery residual percentage and available time and so on. (2) CompactDisplay: in use is always in the top of the window display. (3) MinimizeDisplay: make PowerCenter down to the Windows taskbar, display information relatively simple. PowerCenter also attached with a control center, most can make six kind of warning. When the battery - fell to a certain extent, to the users timely warning, save the file is processing. In order not to waste of electricity and CPU cpu cool fanresources, PowerCenter automatic detection battery status changes. 3. Set Windows of energy-saving options In the Windows of the help file [management hardware and software] under the theme two and notebook computer energy saving related content: [management energy consumption] and [use laptop PCS] of [management portable machine power]. Set the Windows energy-saving options before, should read the content. In the Windows of the [control panel] double click [power management] icon, open [power management attribute]. Will [power use plan] set to [portable type/teng top], and reasonable arrangement of [system waiting for], [close monitor] and [shut down hard disk] options. Different computers can choose options have some differences, detailed Settings should be based on the function of the computer itself and Windows help files. If you want to fully use the power cell, not looking for other discharge way, is in [power use plan] drop-down box choose [always open] options, in [system waiting for] and [close monitor] drop-down box choose [never] options. Still can let the computer automatic operation some calculation complex 3 d demonstration program, so soon can use dry cell the surplus electricity.
