The component that consumes the most Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery power of your laptop is its screen. To ensure maximum possible run time of your Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery, be sure to dim your display whenever possible and especially when you aren’t connected to an AC supply.
In addition to that, disabling services such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi network connections when they aren’t being used will also save you valuable Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery power. Disconnecting external devices like USB flash drives when you’re done transferring data to or from them will also extend Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery life.
2) Never Charge Your Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 Laptop Battery Constantly :
A Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery constantly kept at full charge will degrade at a faster rate, hence never keep your Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop (and its battery) connected to mains constantly. If you connect your laptop to an AC supply most of the time, the Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery’s capacity to hold charge will reduce quicker than normal.
Plug a Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop’s battery for charging when the charge drains below 15% and try not to unplug the laptop’s battery while it’s in the middle of its charging cycle. Also remember that fully discharging a Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery isn’t recommended as it stresses the Li-ion battery and can be harmful.
3) Don’t Remove Your Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 Laptop Battery When it’s plugged into a power source :
We’ve seen some people do this -- they charge their laptop battery to the max and unplug the battery while working on their laptop connected to AC mains. They do this to have a fully-charged Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery whenever they have to move away from the power source and have to use their laptop on the go.
This practice can lead to your laptop shutting down involuntarily if there’s a power cut in your neighborhood. Only remove the Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery from your laptop (when it’s connected to mains) if your laptop’s overheating (around 60 C and above) and don’t make it a habit of working on your laptop constantly connected to AC supply, allow your laptop Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery to charge and discharge periodically.
4) Store a Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery in a cool place :
If you don’t intend to use your laptop for more than two weeks or if you have an extra Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery that won’t be used for a long time, make sure you get the Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery level down to 50 percent charge before unplugging it from your laptop. And remember to store it in a cool place.
Because heat causes a Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery to degrade at a faster rate, hence it’s always best to minimize the Lenovo ThinkPad T40 42T4611 laptop battery’s exposure to heat. Make sure you aren’t blocking the laptop’s heat vents when working on it from your lap. Also some laptops come with Intel’s Advanced Cooling Technology to improve airflow so that it can run cooler.
