Laptop battery life claims mostly worthless
It's a question every laptop owner has asked at one time or another: how come my batteries don't last as long as the manufacturer claims they will?
The answer is amazingly simple.
"That's because you're using your laptopacer aspire 3020 battery ," says Tom Merritt, executive editor for CNET TV.
He says computer companies "stack the deck" when their do battery life tests. They turn down the brightness, run few applications and stay off the Internet.
So what does CNET find when it checks laptop battery life?
"It ends up being anywhere from 50 to 80 percent of the claims depending on who is doing the claim."
Merritt says Apple's claims tend to be the most accurate.
Here's how to make your laptop last longer between charges:
"Make that pretty laptop acer aspire 3610 battery screen a little dimmer," says Merritt. "Don't make it so dim that you can't see it, but it's probably a little brighter than you need, so pull that down until it's about at that level that you say, 'OK, if I go anymore I'm won't be able to see it.'"
And don't run applications that are constantly pinging the Internet.
"Unless you really need to have to have that e-mail, when you're running on battery, maybe you should set it to only check every 30 minutes or something rather than every minute."
Remember, anything involving video or high-intensity applicationsacer travelmate 3002wtci battery - like burning a CD or DVD ...
