For many of us who use Netbooks, we value our sense of portability and are often using our computers in places where it’s not easy just to plug in the AC power adapter. There are a few simple strategies that you can use to get the most time out of your batteries in order to maximize your portable productivity. First, configure the software settings in your netbook to maximize battery longevity over performance. This will mean making the screen a bit more dim and spinning down the hard drive when not in use. While the machine will probably feel a bit slower, this is better than trying to work with a dead laptop!
If your netbook allows exchanging batteries, that also gives you a few more options. (Some netbooks have a permanent built in battery which you cannot remove or change. Most do have normal removable batteries.) First, if you are currently using a 3 cell battery which is the most common type, you can look into buying a 6 cell battery instead which can almost double the battery life.
Keep in mind that these are usually a bit bigger and may cause your netbook to be a bit thicker and heavier. The other option is to buy a second battery and keep both charged so that when one runs down, you can swap in the other one. Be being strategic about your battery life, you can dramatically improve the amount of time you can use your computer without access to a power plug!
