A battery's usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a 

single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:

■

Processor speed

■

Screen brightness

■

System Sleep Mode

■

System Hibernation Mode

■

Display power off period

■

Hard disk drive power off period

■

How often and for how long you use the hard disk drive, optical disc and 

floppy diskette drives.

■

How much charge the battery contained to begin with.

■

How you use optional devices, such as a PC Cards, to which the 

battery supplies power.

■

Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if 

you are frequently turning the computer off and on.

■

Where you store your programs and data.

■

Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the 

keyboard - closing the display saves power.

■

The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low 

temperatures.

■

The condition of the battery terminals - you should always ensure the 

terminals stay clean by wiping them with a clean dry cloth before 

installing the battery pack.
