We’ve previously covered some similar approaches to save battery life, but since ‘no power’ equals ‘no go’ it’s always good to refresh your battery approach (as well as your battery). Friedbeef has a list of fifteen battery saving tips that covers most of the important strategies like:
- Use Hibernate instead of Sleep. While true, the trade-off is a longer restoration time to get up and running. If you can live with that, then Hibernate is your best friend. Me…I’m a sleeper. ;)
- Dim your screen. Whether I’m out and about with my UMPC or at home on my MacBook, I’m constantly aware of how bright or dim my screen is. While you can easily tweak your power settings to control this, I occasionally tweak manually as needed to eek out another 10% or so.
