[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1528988, member: 56379"] It's probably easier to know what things use a lot of battery power: - display brightness high - having a DVD/CD spinning in the optical drive - watching videos/internet videos - most gaming - applications that are heavy on graphics/video So if you're trying to maximize the amount of time you get when running the computer off battery power...try to minimize these activities. Do these things when you have the computer plugged in. An even easier way to know that the computer is using/needing a lot of energy...when it starts getting warm/hot...and the fans are running fast enough to hear. - Nick [/QUOTE]
